Bb. Pilipinas International Hannah Arnold feels pampered as she prepares to leave for the 60th Miss International pageant on 13 December at Tokyo Dome City Hall.

On 22 November, Avignon Clinic held a special sendoff lunch for Hannah at Manila House. The gathering was an intimate affair.

A long table was adorned with pink, white, and blush florals by event stylist Michael Ruiz. It complemented Hannah's blush pink dress. Classical music lent a relaxing vibe to the occasion.

Hannah welcomed guests and listened to messages from the heads of Avignon, select media and Hannah's fellow brand ambassadors at Avignon Clinic.

Avignon CEO Chris Cachuela introduced a surprise video. "Avignon Clinic has been a part of my pageant journey," she said, acknowledging Chris Cachuela as one of her key supporters. "They (the Avignon family) helped prepare me … They really helped me go through it and inspired me to join again."

The 26-year-old Filipino-Australian model joined Bb Pilipinas in 2019 and made it to the top 15.

"When I won Bb. Pilipinas International, again, they (Avignon) were there with open arms, ready to help me with anything, so I'm so excited they will be with me in Japan."

She leaves in one week and hopes to take home the Philippines' seventh Miss International crown.
