The 2026 Binibining Pilipinas Grand Coronation Night is set to bring together some of the country’s most celebrated beauty queens as hosts for the prestigious national pageant’s 62nd edition.
Returning to the Binibining Pilipinas stage is Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray, who will once again take on hosting duties after being absent from last year’s competition. She will be joined by fellow Binibining Pilipinas queens Nicole Cordoves, the 2016 Miss Grand International first runner-up, and MJ Lastimosa, Bb. Pilipinas Universe 2014.
Adding to the lineup is Miriam Quiambao, the 1999 Miss Universe first runner-up, who returns to the national pageant stage as a host. Quiambao previously hosted the Binibining Pilipinas Grand Coronation Night in 2002, 2004, and 2007, making her latest appearance another homecoming moment for the pageant veteran.
The grand coronation night will be held on Saturday, July 18, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, where 35 candidates from different parts of the Philippines will compete for the coveted Binibining Pilipinas titles.
Aside from the impressive hosting roster, the event will also feature performances from some of the country’s biggest entertainment acts. P-pop group Alamat will return to the Binibining Pilipinas stage following their first appearance in 2023, while Kyle Echarri and Jericho Rosales are also set to perform during the coronation night.
International beauty queens are also expected to grace the event, including reigning Miss International Catalina Duque of Colombia and reigning The Miss Globe titleholder Chayathanus Saradatta of Thailand.
The evening will culminate with the crowning of the successors of reigning queens Katrina Anne Johnson and Annabelle McDonnell, who currently hold the titles of Bb. Pilipinas International and Bb. Pilipinas Globe, respectively.
The newly crowned queens will represent the Philippines in their respective international pageant competitions, including the 65th Miss International pageant and The Miss Globe 2026, which will be held in Phuket, Thailand, in November.
