MANILA, Philippines — Binibining Pilipinas 2022 recently kicked off its activities in Araneta City, Quezon City with a Grand Santacruzan last May 14.
This year's event featured the 40 Binibining Pilipinas 2022 candidates, the Binibining Pilipinas 2021 queens, and Miss International 2005 Lara Quigaman in a colorful procession of religio-historical titles.
Rev. Father Ronnie Santos (from Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish) led the blessing and opening of the Grand Santacruzan with a Holy Mass at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. It was followed by a solemn procession of beauties who donned elaborate Filipiniana-inspired gowns in their corresponding religious titles and procession order.
