The 2008 edition of the Binibining Pilipinas Beauty Pageant was held March 8 of that year in the Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City, Philippines.[2] Fernandez captured the title, Binibining Pilipinas-International,[3][4] and earned the right to represent the Philippines in the Miss International Pageant later that year.[5][6] She also received the Miss Natasha special award and appeared on the Natasha Catalog. The 2008 edition of the Philippines national beauty pageant encountered much controversy due to the question and answer portion of the Binibining Pilipinas-World winner, Janina San Miguel. Fernandez was succeeded by Melody Gersbach†, who won the Binibining Pilipinas International title on March 7, 2009.
Miss International
The 2008 Miss International Beauty Pageant was held in the Venetian Macao Hotel, Macau, China on November 8. Fernandez said in an interview prior to her Miss International stint, that she will show the world the Filipino's warmth.
"What I am most proud of about the Philippines is the fact that our people are as warm as our climate," the Filipina beauty said.
Fernandez's performance in the pageant landed her a spot in the top-12 semi-finalists. The Filipino crowd gave her a round of applause at the gate of the Venetian Macao Hotel Theater, the only pageant candidate to receive such appreciation.[7]
