# Binibining Pilipinas 2019

Binibining Pilipinas 2019 was the 56th edition of the Binibining Pilipinas pageant, held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines, on June 9, 2019.
At the end of the event, Catriona Gray crowned Gazini Ganados as Miss Universe Philippines 2019, Ahtisa Manalo crowned Bea Magtanong as Binibining Pilipinas International 2019, Jehza Huelar crowned Resham Saeed as Binibining Pilipinas Supranational 2019, Karen Gallman crowned Emma Tiglao as Binibining Pilipinas Intercontinental 2019, Eva Psyche Patalinjug crowned Samantha Lo as Binibining Pilipinas Grand International 2019, and Michele Gumabao crowned Leren Bautista as Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2019. Maria Andrea Abesamis was named first runner-up, while Samantha Bernardo was named second runner-up.
Maria Andrea Abesamis took over the Binibining Pilipinas-Grand International 2019 title after Lo resigned the title on November 27, 2019. Following the pageant, second runner-up Samantha Bernardo was appointed as Binibining Pilipinas Grand International 2020.
The 2019 edition marked the first time Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI) collaborated with the newly established Miss Universe Philippines Organization, owned by the LCS Group, which introduced new changes and upgrades to the pre-pageant activities, coordinations and the pageant itself.
This was also the last edition to contest the Miss Universe Philippines and Miss Supranational Philippines titles under Binibining Pilipinas after the franchises of Miss Universe Philippines and Miss Supranational Philippines were transferred to the Miss Universe Philippines Organization and the Miss World Philippines Organization respectively.
