In what is considered to be one of their first live interviews on national television as the new titleholders, do watch our four queens with news anchor (and also one of the judges) Rico Hizon of CNN Philippines:

All about local and international beauty pageants that catch my interest – which happens most of the time.
Hopefully, the statement of host and Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray will put to rest the controversy during the Binibining Pilipinas 2022 announcement of winners.
About last night…
As the hosts of last night’s Binibining Pilipinas 2022, @binibiningnicolecordoves and I announced the winners accordingly based on the titles printed on the individual title cards as these were handed over by SGV & Co. partner and representative, Mr. Ocho.As a member of the overseeing committee during the deliberations (as pictured on slide 4 by BPCI Execom member @laraquigaman), Mr. Ocho later rechecked the cards and confirmed that the results previously announced were correct, which became the decisive factor in moving forward with the announcement.
As former candidates ourselves, we understand what the girls go through and would, therefore—without a second thought—correct any errors, if any were made. But as already explained, SGV & Co. partner and representative Mr. Ocho himself confirmed the validity of the results.

My Top 12 Choices
A beautiful rumble, Binibining Pilipinas 2022 is. In what is the return of our favorite national pageant to the new normal, the forty (40) Binibinis vying for the four crowns at stake represent a majority of the best that the World-Class Filipinas can offer to international pageantry.
In assembling a Top 12, your blogger reviewed everything several times before coming up with a ranked list. It wasn’t easy at all. Just when you thought a proper grid is in place, certain new elements (including the Primer) contribute to the constant shuffle. Care was given not to overthink the process because the danger of overlooking the big picture in favor of a small detail is always imminent.
Binibini 17 Chelsea Fernandez
Binibini 23 Nicole Borromeo
Binibini 40 Roberta Tamondong
Binibini 28 Gabrielle Basiano
Binibini 5 Karen Laurrie Mendoza
Binibini 31 Yllana Marie Aduana
Binibini 25 Annalena Valencia Lakrini
Binibini 1 Stacey Daniella Gabriel
Binibini 35 Diana Mackey
Binibini 8 Nicole Budol
Binibini 7 Graciella Lehmann
Binibini 34 Christine Opiaza
The five highest in this prediction constitute a major rumble. Any four (4) among them can easily make up a combo of titleholders. You can mix and match and still come up with a strong set of winners. But for the purpose of this forecast, let us stick to the four ladies who are likely to be the highest finishers, in my opinion:
Left to right: Nicole Borromeo, Chelsea Fernandez, Roberta Tamondong, Karen Laurrie Mendoza
Binibini 23 Nicole Borromeo
Binibini 17 Chelsea Fernandez
Binibini 40 Roberta Tamondong
Binibini 5 Karen Laurrie Mendoza
Their title assignments can be easily interchangeable. All four can do Miss International, Intercontinental and Globe. As for Miss Grand International, though, Fernandez and Tamondong can play toss-up. I wanted so much to put Gabrielle Basiano in the quartet, but I just feel like she will do a Hannah Ruth Sison.

Since the Philippines currently reigns supreme in both Intercontinental and Globe, the best approach in achieving a back-to-back win is by sending outstanding delegates. It is here where the Level 2 quartet can enter the picture. Gabrielle Basiano and Yllana Aduana can slip into victory if the higher-ranked Binibinis fail to measure up in the final tally. Even Graciella Lehmann and Stacey Gabriel can muddle things up, in my opinion.
Now who doesn’t love a spoiler? In this batch, I can feel that three (3) Binibinis can dampen an already ironed-out finish for the top favorites. And I sure would not mind seeing one of them making a spectacular finish.
Left to right: Nicole Budol, Christine Opiaza and Annalena Valencia Lakrini
Opiaza or Lakrini can nose out one or two of the predicted winners if the break favors them. The former is like a quintessential Filipino beauty – exotic and sexy, while the latter is a statuesque Fil-German stunner who can make heads turn instantly.
But more than the two, it is Nicole Budol who just might spring a big surprise on Sunday night. Pageant fans are divided on whether she is in it to win a crown or just a Top 12 spot. And if BPCI can face the music of a different normal, then this Angono representative could very well be the brave new benchmark of Binibining Pilipinas.
My Fearful Ranking:
I might be throwing caution to the wind with one or two assignments here, but that is the essence of what I do.

Dear readers, this is how I see the final results happening Sunday night.
I wish all the forty (40) Binibinis the best. And may the destined winners bring us more pride and honor in the international stage of pageantry.
The Top 20
The Miss Philippines Earth 2022 Top 20 were presented to members of the media, with the Preliminaries for Beauty of Figure/Form and Environmental Intelligence happening simultaneously. The event was held at The Fountain inside Okada Manila.
From here, they will head to Coron, Palawan this weekend in preparation for its return to a Live Finals next week.

Gold 🥇 Jennifer De Asis of Mandaluyong City
Silver 🥈 Jenny Ramp of Sta. Ignacia, Tarlac
Bronze 🥉 Justiene Ortega of the City of Manila
It’s interesting to note that three (3) of the four Binibining Pilipinas 2022 titleholders to be crowned this Sunday, July 31 will have their respective international pageant assignments happening come October:
For Bb Pilipinas Intercontinental 2022:
The 50th Miss Intercontinental will have its Finals on October 14 in Sharm El Sheik, Egypt;
For Bb Pilipinas Globe 2022:
The MISS GLOBE Beauty Pageant will happen at the Scanderbeg Square in Tirana, Albania on October 15;
For Bb Pilipinas Grand International 2022:
More than a week ahead of the two, Miss Grand International 2022 will be proclaimed in the Bogor Regency of West Java, Indonesia on October 25.
I bet all three will have one send-off by late September.
