For many years, the Manila Bulletin has been the media partner for the Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageant, presenting the Manila Bulletin Readers' Choice Award during the finals.

The candidates were warmly welcomed as they toured the main office of the Manila Bulletin, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere created by its employees.

Badette Cunanan, Manila Bulletin's public relations manager, led the tour. The candidates then proceeded to the newsroom to meet some of the editors, graphic artists, and news reporters.

The ladies were presented with a brief overview of Manila Bulletin's election campaign, "Matalinong Boto," and the history of the longest-running newspaper company.

After taking selfies and enjoying delicious afternoon snacks, some Binibinis shared their reasons for joining the prestigious pageant and described the rewarding experience of being a beauty queen.

Bb. 1 Jeanette Reyes (Batangas City)

"As cliche as it may sound, I joined Binibining Pilipinas because it's a dream of mine. I remember when I was eight years old, I was with my mom and dad watching Binibining Pilipinas live, and I told myself in that moment that I'm gonna be on the stage, and now, I'm so happy that I'm finally living that dream."

Bb. 36 Dalia Varde Khattab (Las Pinas)
