Finally, the Binibinis’ much-awaited Day of Numbering for Bb. Pilipinas 2016 will happen today. All of them are excited to say the least. While a few of them still have feelings of uncertainty on whether their candidacy is already set in stone or open to more possible question(s), the rest are just waiting for their pin numbers to be assigned. So while we’re at it, allow me to share with you interesting trivias about who got assigned what numbers through the years in terms of the ladies who eventually won the top crowns. With the help of my friend Paul Palmero who gathered the data, alongside insights from pageant chroniclers and enthusiasts Felix Manuel, Lex Librea and Townee Paat, have a look at the numbers that our former winners of Bb. Pilipinas Universe, Bb. Pilipinas International and Bb. Pilipinas World wore on their sides. There are still a number of missing infos on some, but here is how most everything looked before.
