Miss Universe Philippines Bea Millan-Windorski extended her congratulations to Gwendoline Meliz Frias Soriano and Sasha-Juli Belle Penuliar Lacuna.
Reigning Miss Universe Philippines Bea Millan-Windorski has welcomed a new batch of queens to the winners' circle on her social media.
In one of the more recent posts on her Instagram account, Bea posted multiple photos of her wearing a dress from Rentarela Dress & Gown Rental. In the caption to the post, Bea sent her “warm congratulations” to Gwendoline Meliz Frias Soriano and Sasha-Juli Belle Penuliar Lacuna, who won Binibining Pilipinas International and Binibining Pilipinas Globe, respectively.
Bea also wrote in the caption that she is “forever inspired” by women in the country who have “the courage and strength to represent their advocacies and communities on the national stage with grace and heart.”
Gwendoline won the Binibining Pilipinas International crown after her answer to the question: “What future do you envision for yourself and how will the Binibining Pilipinas title help you get to that destination?”
Gwendoline's response was ““My ambition to be an aspirational leader, and with a Binibini crown, hopefully, I get to inspire people to believe in the beauty of their dreams and to be faithful. I am here now not because of my own strength, not because of my own beauty and skills, but only by the grace of God. And I am here to share that hope, that message, that hopefully, even after this and beyond the crown, I will be remembered as someone who has a big faith, and a big heart.”

Bea sending her congratulations to the Binibining Pilipinas winners is one of the non-work things she's been able to do since winning the Miss Universe Philippines crown. Less than a week ago, Bea shared multiple photos of her getting a tattoo from Grace Palicas, the niece of famed mambabatok and Dangal ng Haraya awardee Apo Whang-od, after getting a tattoo from her.
Aside from getting a tattoo from Whang-od's niece, Bea has been busy attending different fashion and advocacy events. Just recently, Bea signed a contract with local clothing brand Bench, where she will now be a model and endorser for the brand. In the caption to the post, Bea wrote that it was a dream come true to join the Bench family.
Bea also walked the runway for fashion designer Ryan Ablaza Uson's bridal couture fashion show back in June. In the caption to the post, Bea wrote that it was an honor to walk the show in “a ballgown of striking contrasts; composed of meticulous beadwork and masterful draping.”
It was also last month when Bea attended the opening of the Pamana exhibit at the DOST-Philippine Textile Research Institute. In the caption to the post, the organization said that Bea “proudly highlighted Filipino craftsmanship and the importance of supporting local industries that continue to shape our national identity.”
Bea has also been involved in other activities aside from her entry into the fashion world. Bea also acted as a judge during the recently held Miss Manila pageant, with former beauty queen and Sparkle talent Ahtisa Manalo acting as host.
