Beatrice Luigi Gomez celebrates appearance on 'Mga Batang Riles'
A lot of Filipinos are aware of Beatrice Luigi Gomez as a beauty queen who almost snatched the Miss Universe crown, but now that same beauty queen is taking a dip in the world of television.
In one of the more recent posts on her Instagram account, Beatrice posted snippets of her appearance on the Kapuso drama Mga Batang Riles, where she played a henchwoman who attacks Diana Zubiri's character, Mariana “Maying” Asuncion. In the caption to the post, Beatrice said it was an honor to share scenes with Diana and thanked the production for the opportunity.

Beatrice's foray into television drama is just one of the things that she has been involved in since her run in the Miss Universe pageant. Just last month, she and Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes, and fellow beauty queen Winwyn Marquez visited wounded and sick soldiers at the Victoriano Luna Medical Center. Beatrice called it a “heartwarming experience” and called the time she spent with “these men and women of honor” a “valuable and meaningful time”.
In fact, her time as a military reservist has brought Beatrice a lot of acclaim. Back in 2022, Beatrice was awarded the Military Merit Medal and named an Honorary Member of Friends of Marines.
The Military Merit Medal is awarded "...for heroic achievement in combat or meritorious achievement for service not involving participation in combat, in connection with military operations against an enemy of the Philippines; for a single act of meritorious service either in a duty responsibility or in direct support of military operations."
Beatrice has also collaborated with the Philippine military when it comes to relief and rescue operations, such as during the aftermath of Typhoon Odette.
