Children with cancer get visit from beauty queens

Children bravely battling cancer at the Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC) in Quezon City received a visit from six beauty queens on Monday, June 29.

According to a press release from Binibining PIlipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI), Miss Universe Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, Binibining Pilipinas International Janicel Lubina, Binibining Pilipinas Supranational Rogelie Catacutan, Binibining Pilipinas Intercontinental Christi Lynn McGarry, Binibining Pilipinas Tourism Ann Lorraine Colis, 1st Runner-up Hannah Sison and 2nd Runner-up Kimverlyn Suiza visited the PCMC to hand out goodies, play with the kids and read them stories.



"I think all the girls will agree with me in saying that the best thing about being a beauty queen is being able to impact the lives of other people and be relevant pieces of our society," said Wurzbach. "We’ve had so many charity visits lately and I’m so grateful that the foundation allows us to share our blessings and time with others especially to the next generation."

The beauty queens also recently helped paint houses in Tanay, Rizal and visited children about to undergo surgery for cleft palate and facial deformities in Sta. Ana Hospital in Manila. — BM, GMA News
