Notes

Post-pageant Notes

• Maxine Medina competed at Miss Universe 2016 in Manila, Philippines where she finished as a Top 6 finalist. On the other hand, Kylie Verzosa competed at Miss International 2016 in Tokyo, Japan, and emerged as the winner.^[10][11]
• Joanna Eden competed at Miss Supranational 2016 in Krynica-Zdrój, Poland where she finished as a Top 25 semifinalist.^[12]
• Nicole Cordoves competed at Miss Grand International 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she finished as First Runner-Up. After her stint in Miss Grand International, Cordoves hosted the Miss Grand International 2017 pageant, and became a main co-host of Binibining Pilipinas editions since 2018.^[13][14][15]
• Nichole Manalo competed at Miss Globe 2016 where she finished as Third Runner-Up. Initially, Manalo only finished as one of the Top 10 finalists but a week after the pageant, Manalo, together with Natasha Joubert of South Africa, was proclaimed as Third and Fourth Runner-Up respectively. The reason why the Third and Fourth Runners-Up were announced late is that the emcees of the pageant weren't able to read the envelopes in time.^[16]
• Jehza Huelar competed again at Binibining Pilipinas in 2017 and 2018. Huelar finished as a Top 15 semifinalist at Binibining Pilipinas 2017 while she won Binibining Pilipinas Supranational 2018 at Binibining Pilipinas 2018.

• Dindi Pajares competed again at Binibining Pilipinas in 2017 and was unplaced. After her stint at Binibining Pilipinas, Pajares competed at Miss World Philippines 2021 where she was appointed as Miss Supranational Philippines 2021. She was voted by her fellow contestants as Miss Supranational Philippines 2021 due to the postponement of the finals night. Pajares then competed at Miss Supranational 2021 where she finished as a Top 12 semifinalist.^[17][22][23]
