The Binibining Pilipinas pageant has been gearing up to its coronation night over the past few weeks through activities introducing them to the general public. Just recently, the candidates were shown wearing their national costumes, on Instagram and during a show at the New Frontier City in Cubao.

Aside from their national costumes, the Binibining Pilipinas candidates also modeled swimsuits at Araneta City's Gateway 2 Mall. A week before that, the delegates were also paraded around as Santacruzan queens.

This year's 40 Binibining Pilipinas candidates are competing to succeed Angelica Lopez, who was crowned Binibining Pilipinas International last year. This year's winning Binibining Pilipinas candidate will represent the country at the 2025 Miss International pageant. Angelica Lopez, the current reigning queen, will represent the country at the 2024 Miss International in Japan.
