Binibining Pilipinas is a national beauty pageant in the Philippines that selects Filipina representatives to compete in two of the Big Four major international beauty pageants such as Miss Universe and Miss International.
The pageant also fields four queens to other emerging international pageants such as Miss Supranational, Miss Intercontinental, Miss Grand International and The Miss Globe.
Stella Márquez-Araneta, a former Miss Colombia, who became a Miss Universe semi-finalist and the winner of the first Miss International beauty pageant in 1960, is the chairperson of Binibining Pilipinas Charities Incorporated (BPCI) which has been the official national franchise holder of the Miss Universe Organization since 1964 after it was passed on by its predecessor, Miss Philippines, which has been the franchise holder from 1952 to 1963. The following are the Binibining Pilipinas titleholders throughout the years, including the highlights of their performance in major and minor international pageants.
