8 tidbits about the new Miss World Philippines queen Laura Lehmann

By JANNIELYN ANN BIGTAS, GMA News

Even before winning the Miss World Philippines title and having the new "Pearl of the Orient" crown on her head, Laura Lehmann was already quite successful, with life in full swing.

Aside from being a beauty queen, there are many more things about Laura that you would be surprised to know.

Here are eight interesting tidbits about the new queen:

1. She is a former UAAP courtside reporter. Laura's second home is inside the court where she would bring live sports updates on TV, she is a former UAAP courtside reporter for Ateneo de Manila University for two consecutive seasons, she also hosts various shows before she returned to the pageant circuit.

2. Her heart belongs to basketball player Von Pessumal. Sorry to break your hearts, but the new queen is in a relationship with PBA player and former Blue Eagles member Von Pessumal. They have been supporting each other in their own endeavors ever since they started going together.

3. She is no stranger to sports. It's no surprise that Laura loves sports just as much she loves reporting about it. She used to be a player for the national soft ball team and she spends time boxing for exercise.

4. It's her second time to join a national pageant. Laura is no neophyte to pageants. The beauty queen actually joined Binibining Pilipinas back in 2014, where she finished first runner-up.

 

She said that became her motivation to return and win a crown.

 

5. She is a model. Laura isn't new to striking a pose in front of flashing lights! With her statuesque figure and angelic face, it's not surprising that a number of brands have asked Laura to endorse their products.

6. She is a travel junkie. Apart from giving us bts on the beauty pageant scene and her various courtside coverages, her Instagram feed is filled with her trips to various places.

 

 

Be it inside the country or outside the Philippines, Laura is always game to see the world.

7. She is an animal lover. It's not just dogs. You can be assured, she'll pet whatever animal she comes across be it a goat or a pig.

On her Instagram account, Laura shared a couple of snaps of her young self holding puppies — isn't it evident she has been an animal lover since she was a kid? Adorable!

 

 

 

8. She is indeed a "beauty with a purpose". Miss World Philippines' tag "beauty with a purpose" perfectly fits Laura, she has been an advocate for children's education, her personal advocacy is called PREP (Promoting Rural Education in the Philippines), she visits elementary schools in Tagaytay or Batangas provinces to teach the kids.

"My personal advocacy is called PREP Promoting Rural Education in the Philippines and basically what we do is we visit elementary schools in Tagaytay city, Cavite or Batangas province and we interact with the kids, sometimes we teach them lessons that aren't available in their typical curriculum," Laura said in an interview.

 

(1/4) It was always difficult for me to select a Miss World Beauty With A Purpose project. Not because I didn't have any organization in mind, but rather because every organization deserved help. There is never too much help you can give, and there will always be people who need it and people who deserve it. How could I possibly tell someone, then, that they were more deserving than the next? It didn't make sense to me. I didn't know how to answer that question and this was the hardest part. Reflecting over time (and a good piece of cheese), however, I realized that sometimes, it's all about creating ripple effects. :) Ripple effects so that the one small change you inflict on someone could be carried on to the next. Helping people help themselves, and helping people help others as well - that was something sustainable and so that was the ultimate goal. This is the reason I chose EDUCATION. :) #MWP2017 #LauraForTheWorld

"I think what makes it sustainable is that we always donate books and we build libraries so that even after we're gone, even after we leave the schools, there's always a library for them."

 

 

Laura is set to compete in the Miss World 2017 international pageant which will be held in China on November. — LA, GMA News
