MANILA, Philippines - The body of the late 2009 Binibining Pilipinas International Melody Gersbach arrived in Angeles City, Pampanga Friday morning, a day before her burial.

Relatives and friends of the late beauty queen flocked to the wake at the Holy Mary Memorial Chapel in the city. Expected to arrive at the wake are Miss Universe 4th runner-up Venus Raj, Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 2009 Pamela Bianca Manalo and other close friends.

Gersbach, 24, was killed when a bus slammed into the back of her car in Bula, Camarines Sur last Saturday. Her driver, Santos Ramos Jr., and fashion designer, Alden Orense, were also killed in the accident.
