By Two national pageant titleholders have proven that beauty queens are not just beautiful, they also have something between their ears. Rona Lalaine Lopez and Maria Katrina Calica have both earned Latin honors when they claimed their respective degrees recently.
Both of them graduated cum laude as part of the 2026 class of Saint Louis University in Baguio City, Lopez with a pharmacy degree, and Calica with a political science degree.
Lopez represented Pangasinan at ALV Pageant Circle‘s first-ever staging of its Miss Grand Philippines pageant held in 2023. She was also crowned Miss Continental World-Philippines a year later.
