Beauties from the regions shone once more in the 2026 edition of Binibining Pilipinas.

Gwendoline Soriano of Baguio was named Binibining Pilipinas International while Sasha Lacuna of Tarlac was named Binibining Pilipinas Globe during the glitzy finals at the Araneta Coliseum in Question City evening on July 18. 

Soriano will represent the Philippines in Miss International.

She won the judges’ votes with her answer to the final question: What future do you envision for yourself and how will a Binibining Pilipinas title help you get to that destination?

She replied:

“I envision to be an aspirational leader and with the Binibini crown, hopefully, I get to inspire other people to believe in the beauty of their dreams and to be faithful. I’m here not because of my own strength, not because of my own beauty and skills, but only by the grace of God. And I am here to share that hope, that message, that, hopefully, even after this and beyond the crown, I will be remembered as someone who has a big faith and a big heart.”

Lacuna, meanwhile, will represent the Philippines in Miss Globe.

She got the judges’ nod with this answer to the final question:

“The values of Binibining Pilipinas are all about charity work and it’s all about serving the Filipino people, and my life’s purpose is to put myself in situations of inconvenience in order to be of service to the Filipino people, and Binibining Pilipinas is already set on that legacy… and I stepped into this pageant in order to be a vessel, to be part of that legacy, and continue (up) with the work of the organization that it has already built upon.”

Named First Runner-Up is Julianne Raine Antonio of Dumaguete while the Second Runner-Up is Tracy Mae Sunio of Bacolod.

The coronation night was hosted by past Binibining Pilipinas winners - Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray, Miss Universe 1999 First Runner-Up Miriam Quiambao, Miss Grand International 2016 First Runner-Up Nicole Cordoves, and Miss Universe 2014 finalist MJ Lastimosa.
