Danielle Castaño is the former Bb. Pilipinas 2008 first runner-up who is now elevated to be our official delegate to the upcoming Miss World pageant after the original Bb. Pilipinas-World Janina San Miguel submitted her resignation.

Danielle Castaño is 18 years old from Quezon City and plans to take up nursing next year.

She joined Bb. Pilipinas because it’s her childhood dream to become a beauty queen. Initially, her parents were skeptical when she became a model and eventually joined Bb. Pilipinas but after winning, they are now in full support for Danielle. Part of her goals in becoming a beauty queen is to help those who are ill and less fortunate.

Danielle describes herself as bubbly and sports-minded. She was in the track and field varsity team in Hoover High School in the US and she also plays volleyball.

“I’d like to think that I am versatile and have a lot of things to offer. I’m not scared of expressing myself fully because I admit that I do love the attention,” she said.

Her hobbies include boxing, running around the village and going to the gym.
