MANILA – Nicole Borromeo from Cebu was named the winner of the Binibining Pilipinas International crown during the pageant’s coronation night held at the Araneta Coliseum on Sunday.

Borromeo bested 39 other candidates representing cities and provinces nationwide.

During the question and answer portion of the competition, she was asked how she would rate herself, on a scale of one to 10, as a responsible Filipino citizen.

"As a responsible Filipino citizen, I’d like to give myself a good 8 because I know that there’s always room to improve. There’s so much I don’t know and there’s so much I am willing to learn and I hope to do that with you," she answered.
