The Philippines' longest running national pageant is reportedly handing down 4 crowns in the 2012 edition of Binibining Pilipinas. Aside from Bb. Pilipinas-Universe, Bb. Pilipinas-International and Bb. Pilipinas-Tourism (which debuted last year) titles, the said pageant will now give a 4th crown namely Bb. Pilipinas-Supranational.


According to sources, BPCI had acquired the franchise last March 7, 2012 and based on the report from the Global Beauties website, the world's leading pageant site, 4 titles will be awarded this year. The site wrote:
The 30 contestants of Binibining Pilipinas 2012 have been busy with a packed schedule of official activities, since the start of the annual pageant which kicked off last February. Public appearances, fashion shows and even a talent showcase are only part of the road to the biggest beauty event in the Philippines. 
The grand finale, to be held at the Araneta Coliseum on April 15th, will witness the victory of four winners: 
-Bb. Pilipinas-Universe (to Miss Universe 2012 in December)
-Bb. Pilipinas-International (to Miss International 2012, in Chengdu, China, in November)
-Bb. Pilipinas-Tourism (to Tourism Queen International 2012 in China, in October)
-Bb. Pilipinas-Supranational (to Miss Supranational 2012 in Poland, in September)

It will be a good news for pageant fanatics as the country will have a great deal on this ever-growing pageants in the international arena. With the departure of Miss World franchise from the Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI), the organization had acquired the franchise for Miss Tourism Queen International last year and now, Miss Supranational.
