The Binibinis expressed gratitude for the soldiers’ service to the country by distributing gift packs from Aishe Fashion, Jag, and BeauteDerm. They also joined the soldiers in enjoying meals provided by Pizza Hut.

"Our brave soldiers sustained various injuries -- physical, mental, emotional -- as they fulfill their duty to our country. BPCI is happy to serve our modern-day heroes when they need our help and support the most," said BPCI head Gines Enriquez.

It has since been a tradition of BPCI to partner with the MMC Foundation in offering relief assistance and inspiration to wounded soldiers at V. Luna General Hospital through the Binibining Pilipinas candidates and queens.
