Binibining Pilipinas 2026 Grand Parade of Beauties brave the inclement weather

By Earl D.C. Bracamonte

Despite the threat of a heavy downpour by Typhoon Inday (aka Bavi), the Top 35 Binibining Pilipinas 2026 delegates pushed through with the Grand Parade of Beauties, each chauffeured atop a Mazda MX-5m Miata car.

Defying the inclement weather, the candidates started the parade an hour earlier than scheduled. Wearing pink Dia Ali swimwear with identical sarongs, and accessories by Christopher Munar and Richard Papa, the ladies made their last publc event a week before the Big Night at the Dome.

Outgoing titleholders - Binibining Pilipinas International 2025 Katrina Anne Johnson and Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2025 Annabelle McDonnell, together with runners-up Dalia Varde Khattab and Kathleen Enid Espenido – graced the Lagoon fashion show right after the parade around Araneta City.

Fortunately, the rains poured only after the parade took place; with the ladies comfy, dry, and indoors.

To be hosted by Miss Universe 1999 1^st runner up Miriam Quiabao, Miss Grand International 2016 1^st runner-up Nicole Cordoves, Miss Universe Philippines 2014 MJ Lastimosa, and Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray, the 2026 Binibining Pilipinas grand coronation night will unfold at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on July 18.
