Stella M. Araneta,Miss Universe semi-finalist, and the winner of the firstMiss International beauty pageant in1960 representing Colombia, is the chairperson of Binibining Pilipinas Charities Incorporated (BPCI), which had been the official national franchise holder of theMiss Universe Organization from 1964 to 2019, after it was passed on by its predecessor, Miss Philippines, which had been the franchise holder from 1952 to 1963.[5]
In its Diamond Jubilee edition, the pageant launched 'Beauty Ever After', a special editioncoffee table book priced at P5,000.[6] The book traces the pageant's legacy by featuring past Binibini queens, from 1969Gloria Diaz to 2018Catriona Gray.[7]

Winners ofBig Four international beauty pageants:
Gemma Cruz-Araneta,Miss International 1964, the first Filipina and Asian Miss International winner, was a product of the now-defunct Miss Philippines pageant (1952–1963), not of Binibining Pilipinas, when she won the Miss International 1964 title. Cruz, however, was in attendance during theBinibining Pilipinas 1965 finals, and passed on her crown to her successor under BPCI, Isabel Barnett Santos, who represented the country in theMiss International 1965 competition.[8][9]
Although BPCI had acquired the local franchise of the Miss World pageant in 1992, the first crown was won byMegan Young in 2013, who is a product of theMiss World Philippines Organization (2011—present).
