What are the qualities of a Corpus Christian?
“A true Corpus Christian is someone who is God-fearing, selfless and strives to be the best person she can possibly be,” answered Xantia Mikeaela Paras-Victorio, the eventual choice of the Board of Judges for Miss Corpus Christi 2016-Grade School Macasandig Campus.
Ms. CCS Grade School 2016 – Macasandig Campus: Tia Paras-Victorio with parents Rina and Ravi.
Like their most illustrious alumna Pia Wurtzbach, the reigning Miss Universe, this reply most probably sealed it for the winner of the competition which had “Education with a heart” as its theme.
