Bets from Mindanao were big winners in the 2025 Binibining Pilipinas.

Katrina Anne Johnson of Davao Province was crowned Binibining Pilipinas International while Anabelle Mae McDonnell of Iligan City was crowned Binibining Pilipinas Globe.

Dalia Varde Khattab of Las Piñas is First Runner-up while another Mindanao beauty, Kathleen Enid Espenido of Siargao, finished Second Runner-up.

They were crowned during the finals on Sunday, June 15, 2025, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Johnson impressed judges with her answer during the Q&A round.

She was asked: "Lies told a thousand times become the truth. What is your reaction to this statement now that fake news pollutes and corrupts our society more than ever?"

"Well, I think social media and the internet is such a blessing to all of us because it allows us to create a community online with people from all around the world. But yes, fake news is a rampant issue nowadays. And to be honest with you, I think the best way that we can combat that is to make sure that we're educating people on how to discern information. We need to be aware, we need to regulate, and make our online communities a safe space for everyone. Thank you," she answered.

Johnson will represent the Philippines in Miss International 2026. Her predecessor, Myrna Esguerra, will compete in the 2025 edition of the Japan-based pageant. 

McDonnell will go to Miss Globe.
