New Bb. Pilipinas crown
During the coronation night held at the Araneta Coliseum, Myrna wore one of the two dazzling new Binibining Pilipinas crowns designed by Manny Halasan.
Made with ethically sourced diamonds, these stunning creations draw inspiration from the Bb. Pilipinas logo.
Halasan described the base of the crowns as the delicate Sampaguita, the national flower, and the intricate woven patterns of banig. The upper parts, he explained, symbolize the three island groups of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
The new crowns also feature the Anahaw leaf, the country's national leaf, and tambourine jewelry, reflecting the Philippines' deep faith.
"These crowns symbolize the Philippines, a country that shines through all adversities continuously standing as one country, one nation 'Internationally' and 'Globally,'" he wrote.
P1 million cash prize
Bb. Pilipinas announced during the press presentation that they will be giving P1 million each to the winners of Bb. Pilipinas International 2024 and Bb. Pilipinas Globe 2024. The organization also said they will donate P1 million to World Vision.

Myrna stunned the judges, winning both Best in Swimsuit and Best in National Costume, which added P50,000 to her prize winnings. Not to mention, she also earned a spot in the Top 5 Best in National Costume.
On top of the crown and title, the winners will also be receiving prizes and services worth P195,000 from the pageant's sponsors.
