Gabrielle Camille Basiano (born December 17, 1997 in Borongan City, Eastern Samar) is a Filipino model and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Binibining Pilipinas Intercontinental 2022. She will represent the Philippines at Miss Intercontinental 2022 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.[1][2]
Early life and education
Basiano was born in Borongan City, Eastern Samar to Manuelito and Mary Basiano. She studied tourism at the Asian Development Foundation College in Tacloban City.[1][3]
She considers Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray as one of her role models in pageantry and addressing mental health issues as her advocacy.[1]
Pageantry
Miss Friendship International 2019
On July 27, 2019, Basiano won the Miss Friendship International 2019 first runner-up title in the global pageant held in Chengdu, China in a tie with Lorena Rodrigues of Brazil.[4][5] She competed against 48 candidates from all over the world, one month after she was crowned as the Philippines' first Ambassador of Tourism.[4] Emilia Dobreva of Serbia won the title for that year.[1][4][5]
Binibining Pilipinas 2021
Representing Borongan City, Basiano won Best in Long Gown and became the first runner-up for the Binibining Pilipinas 2021, which was held at Quezon City on July 11, 2021.[1][6] Her gown dubbed as "Perla" was designed by Ken Batino and Jevin Salaysay and earned her the Best in Long Gown award.[7] Explaining her choice of the dress, Basiano said:
"I choose to wear a hooded gown dedicated to the current situation our world is facing right now. As the world is covered with uncertainties and challenges, the hood symbolizes the hope of unmasking all our worries, and going forward, towards a pandemic-free world."[6]
Binibining Pilipinas 2022
Returning again for the Binibining Pilipinas 2022 representing Borongan City, Basiano won Best in Swimsuit, another Best in Long Gown, and was crowned as Binibining Pilipinas Intercontinental 2022.[2] Nicole Borromeo of Cebu was named as Binibining Pilipinas International 2022, Chelsea Fernandez of Tacloban as Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2022, and Roberta Tamondong of San Pablo, Laguna as Binibining Pilipinas Grand International 2022.[8]
During the question-and-answer portion of the pageant, she was asked by guest panelist Sen. Risa Hontiveros with the following question: "Pageants are a celebration of beauty and goodwill. However, there’s also a lot of toxicity online and offline that fails to empower us, women. If you win as our Binibini, how will you deal with fake news and other negative comments criticizing your looks, intelligence, and the way you live your life?"[9] Basiano answered, saying:
"Good evening, everyone. I have been receiving a lot of opinions from other people and I am not complaining about it because people are entitled of their own opinion. As for me, I will always remind women that we are strong, independent, and courageous because these are the traits that are very critical to the complicated roles that us women play into society. Thank you."[9]
Hours after the coronation, rumors sparked that there was a crown mix-up between Basiano and Nicole Borromeo because of the delayed announcement of Borromeo as winner of Binibining Pilipinas International 2022.[10][11] Both beauty queens explained in the end that there was no such thing as a mix-up that happened during the coronation.[10]
Miss Intercontinental 2022
She will be representing the Philippines as Miss Intercontinental 2022 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt on December 13, 2022.[1]
