Notes

Post-pageant notes

On March 29, 2010, less than a month after being crowned as Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2010, Venus Raj was stripped off the aforementioned title due to inconsistencies with her birth certificate. The title was given to Helen Nicolette Henson, the 2nd Runner-Up, since Dianne Necio, the 1st Runner-Up, is not yet eligible to compete at Miss Universe due to being underage. However on April 10, 2010, Raj was allowed to reclaim her title as Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2010. Raj competed at Miss Universe 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada and was named 4th Runner-Up. Czarina Gatbonton competed at Miss World 2010 in Sanya, China but was unplaced. After her stint in Miss World, Gatbonton competed at Miss Humanity International 2011 in Barbados where she was named 2nd Runner-Up. She also won the Best in Talent Award and the Humanitarian Queen for Asia-Pacific title. Krista Kleiner competed at Miss International 2010 in Chengdu, China and was one of the fifteen semifinalists.

She competed at Miss International 2011 in Chengdu, China and was one of the fifteen semifinalists. She also won the Miss Internet Popularity award.
