On the evening of July 31, the final night of the Binibining Pilipinas 2022 contest was held in an extremely grand and splendid manner. At the end of the contest, the organizing committee found 4 owners of the titles representing Philippine beauty in the international arena in 2022 and 2023.
Accordingly, the highest title – Miss International Philippines 2023 was awarded to 21-year-old beauty Nicole Borromeo. She will represent the Philippines at the Miss International 2023 pageant.
Beauty Nicole Borromeo was awarded the highest title – Miss International Philippines in the final night of Binibining Pilipinas 2022
However, after the final night, a video recording the moment during the award ceremony was spread on social networks, sparking rumors that the Organizing Committee had mistakenly announced the results.
Accordingly, the video recorded the moment right after the MC announced the title of Miss International Philippines to beauty Nicole Borromeo, the Organizing Committee paused for a long time, about 5 minutes.
Then, a member of the Organizing Committee’s crew ran up to the stage to talk to the two MCs, former Miss Universe Catriona Gray and beauty Nicole Cordoves. In the clip, the two MCs’ faces looked confused and bewildered. Catriona Gray even opened the paper with the results when talking to this person.
Beauty site Sash Factor posted a video clip and speculated that the organizers had announced the results incorrectly. Last year, the order of announcement of the titles was Miss Globe, Miss Intercontinental, Miss Grand and finally Miss International. Meanwhile, this year the organizers changed it to announce Miss Grand Philippines first, so it is very possible that there was a mistake.
Rumors that the Organizing Committee announced the wrong results spread after the final night.
Meanwhile, on beauty forums, many opinions said that confusion occurred between the announcement of the two titles Miss Intercontinental Philippines and Miss International Philippines. Accordingly, the highest title of the final night, Miss International Philippines, should have belonged to beauty Gabrielle Basiano, while beauty Nicole Borromeo would have won the title of Miss Intercontinental Philippines.
In the face of this noise, the Binibining Pilipinas 2022 Organizing Committee remained silent, while one of the two MCs of the final night, former Miss Universe Catriona Gray, spoke up on her personal page. She said that she announced the results completely accurately and affirmed: “If there are any mistakes, we will definitely clarify them.”
