After all the hate Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. and its head Stella Araneta got for Mary Jean Lastimosa’s outfit choices for the 63rd Annual Miss Universe pageant, they have finally released a statement.
Posted on Facebook yesterday, Jan 29, was a statement saying that they are indeed open to collaborations with Pinoy designers.
Here’s the full statement:
Binining Pilipinas Charities Inc. has always been the showcase of Filipino beauty and excellence.
The world’s great pageant stages have borne witness to the elegance and grace of the Binibini queens, where the Philippines has consistently placed high since 2010.
Gaining the distinction of being among the top 10 also speaks highly of the Binibini queens since this means that they truly stood out from among so many beauties from around the world.
BPCI, led by its Chairperson Stella Araneta, continues to believe in Filipino genius and this has been emphasized in several instances in the past including the fashion accolades to the creations of Pitoy Moreno, the designs of young couturiers worn by its candidates in the annual National Costume competition, and the pictorials and fashion shows of local designers featuring Binibini queens.
She also understands the passion of Filipino designers to clothe the Binibining Pilipinas queens for the international pageant stage and is open to the creations and designs of these brilliant Filipino talents.
Mrs. Araneta enjoins Filipino designers to collaborate with BPCI in presenting the Binibini queens in the best designs that will enhance her innate grace and beauty.
