Also taking center stage was NUSTAR Online Binibini 2026 Anne Klein Castro, who has already begun her reign with her debut as the host of NUSTAR Online Exclusives during the Viva All-Star Game coverage.
“BBP Shine” marks the first year of NUSTAR Online’s three-year partnership with Binibining Pilipinas, anchored on Beauty, Body, and Personality—qualities that celebrate the individuality, confidence, and character of every Binibini.
Beyond the pageant stage, the partnership has also created opportunities to give back. During its first year, NUSTAR Online and its partners contributed Php 1 million to communities affected by the earthquake in General Santos.
“Tonight is about celebrating our queens, their journey, and the unique shine that each Binibini brings,” said Alex Barcela, Brand Manager of NUSTAR Online. “As we look ahead to the next two years of our partnership with Binibining Pilipinas, we hope to create even bigger, more meaningful, and more generous moments together.”
The queens and awardees raise their glasses in a toast to celebrate success, new beginnings, and the spirit of friendship.
The celebration culminated in a toast to the Binibining Pilipinas family, the queens’ new journeys, and the continuing partnership between NUSTAR Online and Binibining Pilipinas.
With two more years ahead, NUSTAR Online looks forward to creating more meaningful experiences, bigger celebrations, and new opportunities to champion the women who make Binibining Pilipinas shine.
