BINIBINING Pilipinas Intercontinental Jennifer Hammond landed in the top 15 of Miss Intercontinental 2016 during the coronation night held at Colombo, Sri Lanka last Sunday.
Although Jennifer fell short in winning the crown, Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Incorporated expressed its gratitude to the beauty queen for making it to the Top 15.
“A Top 15 finish is quite a feat! Congratulations to Binibining Pilipinas 2016 Jennifer Hammond, whose beauty and strength was a shining light at this year’s Miss Intercontinental pageant in Colombo, Sri Lanka on October 16.

Aside from Jennifer, contestants from Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Colombia, Ghana, Seychelles, Thailand, Sri Lanka, China, Italy, Czech Republic, Scotland, Poland and Ukraine also made it to the top 15.
Only one representative from each continent was chosen to be part of the top 5.
Miss Sri Lanka represented the continent of Asia, while contestants from Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Italy and Ghana also represented their respective continents.
Heilymar Rosario from Puerto Rico was crowned Miss Intercontinental 2016, while Tracy Zilva of Sri Lanka was named first runner-up.
Silvia Commodore of Ghana won second runner-up; Floriana Russo of Italy, third runner-up; and Amal Karina Nemer of Venezuela, fourth runner-up.
Last year, Christi Lyn McGarry of the Philippines was first runner-up. Binibining Pilipinas Intercontinental 2014 Kris Janson, on the other hand, placed second-runner up.
But Miss Intercontinental pageant is just a warm up for Filipino beauty pageant fans as two Binibining Pilipinas 2016 title holders are set to compete for two more international crowns before October ends.
Nicole Cordoves will be competing for the Miss Grand International pageant in Las Vegas, USA on October 25 while Kylie Verzosa will attempt to bring home the crown for Miss International beauty pageant that will be held in Tokyo, Japan on October 27.
