Miss Universe Philippines 2020 will be the 1st edition of Miss Universe Philippines, under its new organization. The finale was initially scheduled for 3rd May 2020 but due to corona virus scare, the date has now moved to 14th June 2020. Miss Universe Philippines 2019 Gazini Ganados will crown her successor at the end of the event finale as the winner will represent the Philippines in Miss Universe 2020.
While the fifty one delegates competing for the crown have begun to prepare for their national stint, this year’s batch boasts of stunning beauties with a lot of experience. With Binibining Pilipinas losing the franchise for Miss Universe, there are a few talented young divas who have crossed over from Binibining Pilipinas to the debut edition of Miss Universe Philippines. So, without further ado, lets take a look at the crossovers from Binibining Pilipinas to Miss Universe Philippines 2020-

Alaiza Malinao entered Miss Universe Philippines 2020 as a ferocious and determined individual. She comes as a crossover from Binibining Pilipinas 2015 where she unfortunately could not win a crown but won a placement in the Top 15. This year, however, she is a front-runner for the national crown, comparisons being made to none other than Catriona Gray Miss Universe 2018.
Apriel Smith
Apriel Smith is a 24-year-old stunning beauty trying her luck at national contest again with sincerity and more determination this time. Apriel joined Binibining Pilipinas 2016 where she placed in the Top 15 with her amazing performance. The Filipino-black American beauty queen is also a model and an event host. Surely, she is proving to be another strong contender for Miss Universe Philippines 2020 crown.
