Angelica Lopez competes at Miss International pageant

On 24 October at the Quantum Skyview of Gateway Mall 2, Quezon City, the Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BPCI) sent off Binibining Pilipinas International 2023 Angelica Lopez with well wishes.

Lopez’s loved ones and supporters, members of the press, pageant enthusiasts, and fellow Binibini queens gathered at the spacious activity area in Araneta City’s mall for a special tribute and celebration before she leaves for the international pageant in Japan next month.

She is now setting her sights on clinching the Philippines’ seventh Miss International crown as she competes at the highly-anticipated pageant on 12 November at the Tokyo Dome City Hall in Japan.

Lopez is an advocate for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, particularly focusing on empowering children to reach their full potential through education and support. Her passion and commitment reflect her desire to uplift others and create lasting change.

The Palawan-based beauty serves as a role model of resilience and determination. The breadwinner of her family, she started working at a young age, balancing modeling and other endeavors to support her loved ones after the untimely death of her mother. A self-made woman and certified “raketera,” Lopez has a life story that resonates deeply with those who have faced financial struggles, and draws upon her experiences to inspire marginalized children to dream big and break free from the cycle of poverty.
