The Miss Universe Philippines organization has recently extended its support and prayers to all the people affected by Typhoon Odette (Rai).
The organization announced on social media: "We know that many of our media friends want to congratulate and celebrate Bea's Miss Universe Top 5 placement. However, we will be postponing any interviews in the meantime."
It continued: "According to Bea, her family was trapped in their home during the typhoon and it badly damaged the apartment building. Thankfully they are physically safe now. Bea's priority is her family's welfare at the moment. As soon as she is out of quarantine, she will head to Cebu to assist them."
According to them, instead of the originally planned welcome festivities, the MUPH will support the relief efforts of Bea, along with SimplyShare Foundation Inc. to help victims of the typhoon.
"We will be posting details on where you can donate as soon as it is available," they said. "We thank you for your understanding."
