Julianne Rainne Antonio: More than beginner’s luck

By Earl D.C. Bracamonte

Julianne Rainne Antonio had no pageant experience while joining Binibining Pilipinas 2026.

But she trained with Aces & Queens in January, the camp which produced a lot of Binibini titleholders.

The 5’9” stunner came from a family of tall people, including her dad who was a professional cager and an uncle who stood at 6’8” tall.

Rainne loves cats. She even brought home to Makati her two pet cats from the US when she moved back to the Philippines. At a young age, she had been a staunch advocate for animal welfare.

The 24-year-old mestiza is a Junior at Endurun College pursuing a degree in Marketing Management.

She keeps her 120-pound frame fit and trim by walking regularly. Despite being the tallest delegate this year, she still considers herself short when standing with the rest of her family!

Rainne is more than lucky to be part of the first-ever Top 4 finalists in Binibining Pilipinas history.; making the cut from the Top 12.

And even luckier to be the first representative from Dumaguete City and Oriental Negros to reach the final round.
