At the conclusion of the magnificent finale of Binibining Pilipinas 2017, held on 30th April 2017, Binibini 18 Nelda Ibe was crowned as Miss Globe Philippines 2017. Nelda succeeds Miss Globe Philippines 2016 Nichole Marie Manalo, and will now represent the Philippines at Miss Globe 2016.
Nelda is not new to the world of pageantry, and she was the second runner-up at the Miss World Philippines 2014 pageant. She made the decision to join Bb. Pilipinas 2017 after recently finishing her Solo Fly as Captain Cadet student. This 23 year old stunner standing tall at 5’10” is someone who is relaxed, laid-back and very beautifully sensible. But once she gets made up and all, she transforms into a potential beauty queen.

Dressed up in glittery cocktail dresses, the girls looked gorgeous.
