In the swimsuit competition, GMA Integrated News, said "she confidently showcased her fit figure and striking pasarela". She also won the Best in Swimsuit award, and the title of Jag Denim Queen.
Lakrini reached the top four, and in the final question-and-answer portion, she was asked by Honey Lacuna, the Mayor of Manila, "In what ways is a beauty pageant candidate aiming for a crown similar to a politician running for an electoral post?":
As someone who is joining for the second time, I know that a beauty pageant has a platform on which we can talk about causes that are dear to our hearts. My cause that is dear to my heart is nutrition. And as a nutritional scientist, as an advocate for proper nutrition, I know that in advocating with this platform from Binibining Pilipinas, we can inspire so many people. And a politician can inspire a whole community, and so can we. Lakrini responded:
At the end of the event, Lakrini was crowned Binibining Pilipinas Globe 2023 by outgoing titleholder Chelsea Fernandez.
