Even before the start of the competition, Maxine Medina is already considered as one of the heavy favorite to win a title in the Binibining Pilipinas but some pageant experts did not put her at the top of their list to win the crown because many experts believed that this year is the time for Kylie Verzosa to win the title.

During the highly anticipated Question and Answer portion of the Top 15 finalists some pageant experts got doubts with the answer given by Maxine Medina compared to the much attention received by her fellow candidate Kylie Verzosa who answered the question fluently.

Maxine Medina was crowned by the outgoing Bb. Pilipinas 2015 title-holder, Miss Pia Wurtzbach who brought to the Philippines our very own third Miss Universe title. Before giving the crown to Wurtzbach’s successor the beauty queen was emotional on her farewell speech and even the reigning Miss Universe title-holder couldn’t control her tears on stage.

The crown given to Maxine Maxine Medina is a testament that she will represent and defend the Philippines’ title in the world’s most prestigious beauty pageant, the Miss Universe 2016.
