As expected, the Binibining Pilipinas 2024 coronation night was a jampacked event filled with fun and pride! Several moments have commanded our attention, which is no surprise, as this year is the 60th anniversary of Binibining Pilipinas—the country’s longest-running national pageant in Asia. In a nation that elevates pageantry to extraordinary heights, this milestone is indeed cause for celebration.

The team behind the competition worked hard to deliver a memorable evening for attendees and viewers from home to mark the occasion. We’ve rounded up some notable scenes from the evening here.
