Binibining Pilipinas is owned by the
Araneta Group of Companies headed by
Filipino business magnate
Jorge León Araneta, the group's
President and
CEO. The BPCI Organization is spearheaded by Jorge's wife, national director
Stella Marquez-Araneta, with Conchitina Sevilla-Bernardo, artist and entrepreneur, as co-chairperson. Stella M. Araneta,
Miss Universe semi-finalist, and the winner of the first
Miss International beauty pageant in
1960 representing Colombia, is the chairperson of Binibining Pilipinas Charities Incorporated (BPCI), which had been the official national franchise holder of the
Miss 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. The book traces the pageant's legacy by featuring past Binibini queens, from 1969
Gloria Diaz to 2018
Catriona Gray. The following are the Binibining Pilipinas titleholders throughout the years, including highlights of their performances in
major and minor international
pageants. Although BPCI had acquired the local franchise of the Miss World pageant in 1992, the first crown was won by
Megan Young in 2013, who is a product of the
Miss World Philippines Organization (2011—present).
