Binibining Pilipinas 2008


Binibining Pilipinas 2008 was the 45th edition of Binibining Pilipinas. It took place at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines on March 8, 2008.
At the end of the event, Anna Teresa Licaros crowned Jennifer Barrientos as Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2008, Margaret Wilson crowned Janina San Miguel as Binibining Pilipinas World 2008, and Nadia Lee Cien Shami crowned Patricia Fernandez as Binibining Pilipinas International 2008. Danielle Castaño was named First Runner-Up and Elizabeth Jacqueline Nacuspag was named 2nd Runner-Up.
For personal reasons including the death of her grandfather, Janina San Miguel resigned her title as Binibining Pilipinas World 2008 in September 2008. The title was automatically transferred to the first runner-up, Danielle Castaño who went on to represent the Philippines at the Miss World 2008 pageant.
