Binibining Pilipinas 2026 launches earthquake relief drive via national costume show

True to its commitment to charity, the Binibining Pilipinas pageant will raise funds to help those affected by the massive earthquake that struck Mindanao earlier this month.

The Bb. Pilipinas Charities Inc. will use one of its upcoming on-stage events as an opportunity to engage the public in its mission as an organization, to uplift the lives of Filipinos who are in need.

“Watch the National Costume Competition of our Binibining Pilipinas 2026 candidates LIVE as they showcase the beauty, culture, and creativity of the Filipino spirit on stage!” the longest-running national pageant posted on social media on Wednesday evening, June 17.

The e-poster that came with the social media post also mentioned that “[p]roceeds will benefit the survivors of the Sarangani earthquake [through] the Philippine Red Cross.”

The 2026 Bb. Pilipinas National Costume Competition will take place at the New Frontier Theater at the Araneta City in Quezon City on July 2. The show will start at 3 p.m.

Tickets are priced at P700 for orchestra seating, and P500 for the balcony seats. Fans and supporters of the Binibinis may purchase tickets at Ticketnet’s online portal starting on June 18 at 12 noon.

The National Costume Competition is one of the most-anticipated events of the annual pageant where the delegates get to parade in magnificent creations by talented Filipino designers to highlight the country’s heritage.

This year’s show will also feature the creations of fashion and bag designer Zarah Juan and accessories designer Arnel Papa. /ra
