Binibining Pilipinas 2011 candidates in bikinis during press presentation

The 40 lovely candidates of the most prestigious beauty pageant in the country, the Binibining Pilipinas 2011, were presented to the press recently. The event was held at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Ballroom on Tuesday, March 8, 2011.


Some of the press present expected to see only 37 candidates since two had been disqualified and one had resigned from the competition after nude photo controversies. However, three new candidates were added by the Binibining Pilipinas 2011 organizers to replace them.

They three new candidates are Bernadette Aguirre from Bulacan, Cantaduanes native Gerlie Lero, and one of Miss Philippines-Earth 2009 Top 10 Finalists Monique Teruelle Manuel of Bataan.
