Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen in Queens Give Back

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine Pizza, Inc. brands brought the spirit of Christmas early by hosting separate parties with the 2015 winners of Binibining Pilipinas, for the children from the Community of Theresian Missionaries of Mary in Cagayan de Oro City and the beneficiaries of SOS Children’s Village in Cebu City.

“We began Queens Give Back in Metro Manila last year by bringing our favorite beauty queens to hospital and school visits, where they could share a fun day with children in need of cheer,” shared Lorent Adrias, senior marketing manager of Philippine Pizza, Inc. “This time, we decided to take it further by reaching out to communities that have supported us in Visayas and Mindanao, specifically the hometowns of our Binibining Pilipinas winners, as our way of giving back after having a great year,” he added.

It was an early Christmas treat indeed for the 100 children who saw their favorite Binibining Pilipinas winners, among them 2015 Miss International Philippines Janicel Lubina and 2015 Miss Intercontinental Philippines Christi McGarry, join in the fun and games. The Binibini Queens also distributed toys, notebooks, crayons and pencils as presents. Each visit was capped by a storytelling session, led by 2015 Miss Universe Philippines Pia Wurtzbach in her native Cagayan de Oro, and by 2015 Miss  Supranational Philippines Rogelie Catacutan in her birthplace of Cebu.

The Bb. Pilipinas Queens themselves were not immune to the laughter and smiles of the children, with Rogelie  finding herself more excited to compete now that she had found the best support group in the children who wished them luck.
