Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 29) — The Binibining Pilipinas 2023 coronation on Sunday night brought forth two queens who will represent the country on the global stage.
Of the 40 women who competed for two coveted titles, Anna Valencia Lakrini of Bataan was hailed as this year’s Binibining Pilipinas Globe, and Palaweña queen Angelica Lopez was crowned as the new Binibining Pilipinas International.
Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2022 Chelsea Fernandez and Binibining Pilipinas International 2022 Nicole Borromeo handed over their thrones to their successors during the event at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
While Borromeo will represent the Philippines at the Miss International 2023 competition in Japan this October, Lopez is set to compete in the next year’s edition of the global pageant.
First runner-up Katrina Anne Johnson of Davao del Sur and second runner-up Atasha Reign Parani of Cavite round out the top four of the 59th edition of the national competition.
