Reports of the two Miss Universe queens coming to Cebu stirred quite an excitement especially among pageant fans.
But the organization clarified that the two queens will not be joining the launching of LoveYourself White House, a community center established to be a safe place for people to get free HIV-related services such as education, counseling, testing and treatment.
“Maybe they can join us in the next events? We’re sending positive vibes to the world, the universe rather, so that we may see the silver lining in our current situation (in relation to our fight to end HIV/AIDS by 2030),” LoveYourself Cebu said in a statement, alluding to portions of Wurtzbach and Gray’s winning answers in Miss Universe.
LoveYourself currently has five existing community centers in the country.
LoveYourself White House will be the organization’s sixth community center.
