What makes a Filipina truly extraordinary?
Numerous Pinays have showcased their strength, beauty, and talent on the world stage: Hidilyn Diaz, 2016 Olympics Silver medalist for weightlifting, Pia Wurtzbach, 2015 Miss Universe, and Rachelle Ann Go, who rose to fame internationally for her roles in Miss Saigon and Les Miserables.
At Human Nature, beauty truly goes beyond skin deep as our very own Pinay & Proud beauties represented their respective departments at the Pinay & Proud Peace Pageant in the QC Head Office & Carmelray plant.
Candidates from the QC Head Office’s Retail, Merchandising Operations, Marketing, Human Resources, Supply Chain, and Social Enterprise Development and from Carmelray’s Filling Line, Soap, Balm, and Makeup Line, Quality Assurance, Planning and Warehouse, Technical Team, and Admin Teams got all glammed up for the pageant. Each candidate wore a gown made of recycled materials.
