Are there many more Venus Rajs out there? Organizers of the Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageant believe so.

If in recent years only 24 candidates were selected by pageant organizers, 40 candidates were presented on Tuesday to members of the media at Sofitel Philippine Plaza in Pasay City.

Jose “Pitoy” Moreno, cochair of Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BPCI), said the organizers increased the number of participants this year “to give a chance to more deserving applicants.”

Binibining Pilipinas selects the country’s representatives to the Miss Universe and Miss International pageants.

The winners will be proclaimed on April 10 at Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.

Gines Enriquez, spokesperson of BPCI’s parent company Araneta Group, said: “There was an influx of beautiful applicants this year, perhaps because of Venus’ exceptional performance in the Miss Universe contest.” - PNA
