The competition was initially scheduled for 26th April 2020 but was postponed to 31st May 2020 because the situations were not ideal to host a competition.
With five crowns to win at Binibining Pilipinas 2020; Binibini No. 13, Samantha Mae Bernardo is vying for the Binibining Pilipinas Grand 2020 title as she wants to be the first representative of the Philippines to win the crown. She recently shared on her social media stories that she is aiming to be the first Filipina to win the Miss Grand International crown.

The diva is not new to the world of beauty pageant as she held the title of Mutya ng Palawan Tourism 2013. She was also placed at top 13 in Miss World Philippines 2013. Samantha was also a part of 55th edition of Binibining Pilipinas i.e., Binibining Pilipinas 2018 and was successfully crowned as the second runner-up. The determined diva went back to win the national pageant of Binibining Pilipinas 2019 and was again crowned as the second runner-up.

In her free time, Samantha likes to play sports, dance, and meditate.
The diva wants to talk about cyber bullying and raise awareness as she personally experienced with a lot of cyber-bullying when she was crowned as the second runner-up at Binibining Pilipinas 2019 again. Samantha’s positive approach towards her cyber-bullying is an inspiration and motivation to everyone who is dealing with a tough time. She is also a supporter of self-love advocacy and urge people, especially young women to be comfortable in the way they are.
Samantha’s beauty is undeniably arresting as she has a chiselled face structure and mesmerising eyes. Her appearance is endearing and at the same time, she can manage to look bold and fierce on the camera. She is charismatic and confident both on and off the camera. And we feel she can be a tough competition for the delegates competing for the coveted crown.
