Last year, Clothes for Life Foundation organized QUEEN of Cebu 2009: A PAGEANT FOR ALTERNATIVES.

Indeed, the pageant crowned three deserving beauties Queen of Cebu World was crowned to Miss Marianne Arguelles, Queen of Cebu International was crowned to Miss Paula Gerinea and the whole Universe was ruled by the obvious winner Queen Rain Marie Madrigal.

The success of last year's Queen of Cebu raised the clamor for Cebu to once again take on the universe and crown its new queen. And this year on November 6, 2010 at the Pacific Grand Ballroom of the Waterfront at 7:30 PM, 21 Goddesses will gather as they come and conclude the show with only one Venus to be hailed as Queen 2010. Tickets will be available at P1,500; P800; P300 and P150. True to the Beauty Pageant's Creed of Beauty with a Purpose, all proceeds will go to charity specifically the Little Lamb Children's Center. See you there because Everyone bows down to the Queen!!!
