The Grand Parade of Beauties is an annual tradition of the national pageant, usually held a week before the final competition, where the public gets to see the participants in the flesh.

Joining the candidates were reigning Bb. Pilipinas International Katrina Anne Johnson, Bb. Pilipinas Globe Annabelle McDonnell, first runner-up Dalia Varde Khattab, and second runner-up Kathleen Espenido, wearing glamorous gowns.

The parade concluded at the Gateway Mall 2, with the candidates and reigning queens greeting fans and onlookers at a short program held at The Lagoon.

The 2026 Bb. Pilipinas Grand Coronation Night is set to take place at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City on July 18. Miriam Quiambao will return to the national pageant’s stage to host with fellow queens MJ Lastimosa, Nicole Cordoves, and Catriona Gray. /edv
