Lawyer-beauty queen Anna Licaros joins BDO as deputy compliance officer

Just as BDO bids goodbye to a familiar face in Walter Wassmer as he moved from one powerful boardroom to another, the Philippines’ largest bank also welcomes a new one on its team: Anna Theresa Luy Licaros, who’s taking on the role of first vice president and deputy compliance officer.

If that name rings a bell, it’s because Licaros isn’t just another corporate lawyer — she was also a former beauty queen.

Licaros first made her mark on the pageant scene in 2007, when she won the title of Binibining Pilipinas Universe.
