(BPCI) introduced on Monday the official candidates for the 59th edition of the national pageant.The official 40 candidates were narrowed down from 65 applicants after a prolonged deliberation among the jurors led by Miss International 2005 Lara Quigaman and the reigning Binibining Pilipinas queens.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/life/02/01/23/look-majas-sister-jessie-among-bb-pilipinas-applicants">LOOK: Maja Salvador&#x27;s sister Jessie among Binibining Pilipinas applicants</a></li></ul>The organization initially announced 35 candidates before 8 p.m. at the New Frontier Theater, but in an unexpected twist, it added five more names to the roster less than an hour later.Speaking with ABS-CBN News, two of the jurors — former Binibining Pilipinas Globe Maureen Montagne and reigning Miss Cosmo International Meiji Cruz — revealed that the selection board at first had to break some ties in the hotly contested pageant.In its statement, BPCI explained that the decision to round off the finalists to 40 came after reaching a consensus among the jurors to instead expand the lineup.<figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=2451778" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>Cruz and Montagne said this gave proper closure to the pageant selection which initially excluded perceived deserving applicants from several regions. The 40 candidates will vie for three crowns that will make them the Philippines&#x27; representative to three international pageants: Miss International, Miss Intercontinental, and Miss Globe.Set to crown their successors at the yet-announced finals night are Binibining Pilipinas International Nicole Borromeo, Binibing Pilipinas Intercontinental Gabrielle Camille Basiano, and Binibining Pilipinas Globe Chelsea Fernandez.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/life/11/07/22/bb-pilipinas-not-renewing-miss-grand-franchise">Binibining Pilipinas not renewing Miss Grand International franchise</a></li></ul>While Binibining Pilipinas Grand International Roberta Tamondong is also expected to take the stage, she will not be passing on a crown, following BPCI&#x27;s withdrawal from the Miss Grand International pageant.Below is the full list of candidates in Binibining Pilipinas 2023:1.
