2013 Bb. Pilipinas Parade of Beauties

Fifty of the country's loveliest that make up the Golden Batch of Binibining Pilipinas were presented in a Grand Parade of Beauties, Saturday, April 6, 2013 at the Araneta Center grounds. 

The girls have been culled from over 100 aspirants that flocked to the Binibining Pilipinas offices since the beginning of the year. 

Since then, the girls have been involved in a gamut of activities that included beauty and personality devt sessions, outreach activities, television promotions and sponsors visits. 

This year's competition is expected to be grandiose since the pageant is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Because of the recent back-to-back top five finishes of its queens in international pageants, Binibining Pilipinas 2013 has also attracted a large roster of corporate partners such as ABS-CBN, Cream Silk, San Miguel Corporation, PAGCOR, Avon and Philippine Airlines. 

Apart from the candidates, the parade will also feature the reigning queens on colorful floats which include Miss Universe 1st runner up Janine Tugonon, Binibining Pilipinas International Nicole Schmitz, Binibining Pilipinas Tourism Katrina Dimaranan, Miss Supranational 3rd runner up Elaine Kay Moll and last year's Binibining Pilipinas 2nd runner up Annalie Forbes. Recent international titlists such as Miss Universe 2010 4th Runner up Venus Raj and Miss Universe 2011 3rd runner up Shamcey Supsup will join the festivities. 

The Grand Parade of Beauties is one of the final major events before the coronation night. On Sunday, April 7, ABS-CBN will air a primer on their Sunday's Best.
