Precious Lara San Agustin Quigaman-Alcaraz, (in Tagalog pronounced as /kiˈgɐmɐn ɐlkɐˈɾas/) is a Filipina actress, and beauty queen who won Miss International 2005, in Tokyo, Japan.[2] She is the fourth Filipino to have won the crown, after Gemma Cruz in 1964, Aurora Pijuan in 1970, and Melanie Marquez in 1979. Prior to winning Miss International, Quigaman competed in Binibining Pilipinas twice, 2001 and 2005, where she won the title of Binibining Pilipinas International.[3]
Based in Bristol, United Kingdom, Quigaman is the eldest of four children of Nelson Quigaman and Princesita San Agustin. She grew up in Biñan, Laguna, and eventually Bahrain, where her father worked. After five years, she returned to Biñan and completed high school at La Consolacion College. Before moving to Bahrain, she studied for a semester at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila. In England, she attended South Gloucestershire and Stroud College, where she studied Media Production and Communication.[4] Quigaman married Marco Alcaraz in a civil ceremony on 1 January 2011 in Vancouver, Canada, and a Christian ceremony on July 8, 2012, at the Hacienda Isabela in Tagaytay City.[5] They have one child.[6]
Quigaman is a Born-again Christian and drew negative reactions after several of her Instagram posts were taken to oppose Pope Francis visiting the country.[7]
