MANILA — Since make up transformation is very popular on social media, a group Filipino youth has launched a campaign urging the public to make a “saintly” make up transformation.<\/p>\n

The Saintify social media campaign was launched on Oct. 17, through a Facebook page called Kabataang Katoliko, which calls on young people to feature their favorite saint in the popular makeup transformations posted online.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy look ugly when you can be a saint? And why look like a monster when you are more of a saint?\u201d said the campaign in an article posted on the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) news website.<\/p>\n

The group added that the campaign is timely since the country will be celebrating especially All Saints\u2019 Day and All Souls\u2019 Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of us have a favorite saint and they have shown exemplary lives. So when we try to imitate their [facial expression] and their looks, we also try to follow their holiness of life,” the group said.<\/p>\n

They added, \u201cThat is why the hashtag is #Iwanttobecomeasaint.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the saints young people have chosen to \u201csaintify\u201d into include Saints Pedro Calungsod, Dominic Savio, Roche (Roque), Philomena, and Lucy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope that through this campaign, we raise awareness [of] young people on social media to emulate the holiness and lives of the saints,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n

Those who would like to feature their Saintify photos and get more information about the campaign, may search and like the Kabataang Katoliko page on Facebook.<\/p>\n
