BINIBINING PILIPINAS WORLD WINNERS

The pageant was first named as MISS RP (Miss Republic of the Philippines) from 1966 to 1976. In 1977, the organizers of the Miss Asia Quest, Inc. acquired the local franchise to the Miss World Pageant then changing the title to Mutya ng Pilipinas-World. Then in 1992, the Bb. Pilipinas Charities, Inc. of Madame Stella Marquez de Araneta had the luck to acquire the local franchise to choose the Philippine representative to the Miss World Pageant hence renaming the local title to Binibining Pilipinas-World and adding it to the two other major beauty titles: Bb.
