Look who’s in town to spread cheer and goodwill in time for the Chinese New Year.
The reigning Miss World, Yu Wenxia, arrived Friday afternoon in Manila on board Malaysian Airlines flight MH704.
The Chinese beauty queen was met at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport by Miss World Philippines pageant director Cory Quirino.
Wenxia will have a meet-and-greet event at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall on Sunday.
Her packed itinerary also includes a courtesy call with Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim, and visits to the Chinese Art Exhibition at the Manila Hotel and the Philippine General Hospital, a long-term beneficiary of the Beauty With a Purpose charity.
Wenxia, a model, was crowned Miss World 2012 last August, besting 115 contestants in a pageant held in the desert city of Ordos in the Chinese province of Inner Mongolia.
It was the second time since 2007 that a Chinese candidate won the Miss World title on home soil.
