MANILA, Philippines — The Binibining Pilipinas 2020 candidates spent time to tap on their creative side through an art session at the Gateway Gallery in Gateway Mall, Araneta City on February 26. The Gateway Gallery once again opened its doors to the girls for an afternoon of art expression and aesthetics just before the National Arts Month ended.
The Binibining Pilipinas candidates were mentored by Philippines’ finest watercolorists Jen Utleg Consumido, Joemari Sanclair Chua, Dan Macapugay and Carlo Cortez in enhancing the ladies' creativity on visualizing and translating advocacies into works of art. The girls have produced the artworks inspired by their advocacies:
