It’s going to be a tough competition this year following the stellar successes of the reigning beauty queens. The historic win of Pia Wurtzbach at the Miss Universe 2015 pageant became a shining moment of glory for our country. The winning streak also continued with Anne Colis winning the Miss Globe 2015 title; as well as the impressive showing of Parul Shah, Miss Grand International 2015 3rd Runner-up; Christy McGarry, Miss Intercontinental 2015 1st Runner-up; Rogelie Catacutan, Miss Supranational 2015 semifinalist; and Janicel Lubina who made it into the Top 10 of the Miss International pageant, and was awarded Best Dresser. 
With less than a month left before the finals, the ladies still have a busy schedule ahead. Watch them wow audiences as they headline the Binibining Pilipinas Fashion Show at the Kia Theatre on April 6. Supporters and pageant fans will also get a chance to see them when the finalists participate in the Parade of Beauties happening at the Araneta Center on April 9.
