WIRE โ€” Gwendoline Meliz Frias Soriano has just achieved a life goal - winning the Binibining Pilipinas crown and becoming the country's latest representative to the 2026 Miss International pageant. Early on in the competition, it looked like Gwendoline was going to go far in the pageant as she was an early winner of one of the pageant's special awards, namely the Miss SnowCaps Radiance title during the launch of the Binibining Pilipinas partnership with glutathione brand SnowCaps at the Novotel Manila Araneta City. From there, she would also stand out in the pageant's different challenges, like the national costume competition.
