Reports say she had a wish to "die beautiful"

Her wish was inspired by a popular Filipino film

A 20-year-old woman in Davao City, Philippines, had her wish to "die beautiful" fulfilled when she succumbed to bone cancer on April 17.

Just days before her passing and aware that her time was approaching, Racine Pregunta selected the makeup and dress she wished to wear in her coffin.

Her wish was inspired by a popular Filipino film in which a transgender woman makes the same wish.
