New Bb. Pilipinas 2025 candidate Stella Tanglao Zacarias. Bb. Pilipinas/Handout

There's a new candidate in the Binibining Pilipinas 2025 roster. 

In a statement, Bb. Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BPCI) announced the inclusion of Stella Tanglao Zacarias of Quezon City.

She replaced a candidate who was removed from this year's batch "due to contract-related issues." 

"Zacarias, an artist and a passionate advocate for education, was previously part of the screening process and has now been called back to join the official lineup," BPCI said. 

The 61st edition of Bb. Pilipinas will see 36 women competing for the chance to represent the Philippines on the international stage.

Last year's national pageant crowned four queens: Myrna Esguerra (Bb. Pilipinas International), Jasmin Bungay (Bb. Pilipinas Globe), Christal Dela Cruz (first runner-up), and Trisha Martinez (second runner-up).
