Sixty years ago, the Binibining Pilipinas crowned Myrna Panlilio its first queen. This year, another candidate with the same first name won the prestigious national pageant. Myrna, the 22-year-old student and events host, is not just a beauty queen.
She's also a passionate cook, a sports enthusiast, and a travel lover. During the question-and-answer segment, former Miss Universe Margie Moran asked Myrna: "If a time machine brought you back to 1964, 60 years ago, when the Binibining Pilipinas began, what message would you tell the Filipino women of that time about the women of 2024?" Myrna answered: "I will tell the women of the past that we have achieved our goal, which is to empower women. Standing here at the age of 17, I started to finance my studies and help my family financially.
I was able to do this by all those women who paved the way to empower us to always reach for our goals, no matter what it is, because in life, we can always achieve our dreams as long as we believe that we can, and thanks to them all." Jasmin Bungay, 26, of Pampanga was crowned Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2024. In the question.
