# Binibining Pilipinas 2021

Binibining Pilipinas 2021 was the 57th edition of Binibining Pilipinas. Originally scheduled to be held in 2020, the coronation night of the pageant was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was rescheduled to July 11, 2021 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines with Catriona Gray and Nicole Cordoves as presenters. Due to the restrictions caused by the disease at the time of the pageant, several health and safety protocols were implemented to ensure the safety of the artists, candidates, crew and organizers of the event.
At the end of the event, Bea Magtanong and Gazini Ganados crowned Hannah Arnold of Masbate as Binibining Pilipinas International 2021, Maria Andrea Abesamis and Samantha Bernardo crowned Samantha Panlilio of Cavite as Binibining Pilipinas Grand International 2021, Emma Tiglao crowned Cinderella Obeñita of Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental as Binibining Pilipinas Intercontinental 2021, and Leren Bautista crowned Maureen Montagne of Batangas as Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2021. Gabrielle Basiano of Borongan, Eastern Samar was named 1st runner-up and Meiji Cruz of Valenzuela was crowned 2nd runner-up.
Starting this edition, the winners of the Binibining Pilipinas pageant will represent the Philippines in Miss International, Miss Grand International, Miss Intercontinental, and The Miss Globe after losing its franchise for Miss Universe and Miss Supranational.
ABS-CBN broadcast the coronation night via Kapamilya Channel and free-to-air channel A2Z (the latter under a partnership with ZOE TV). The pageant was also simulcast on ABS-CBN's Metro Channel and livestreamed on IWantTFC and YouTube.
