Cong. Van-van Turns 45 Today!

Happy Birthday Miss Bohol 2001

Happy birthday to 2nd District Cong Ms. Van-van Cadorna Aumentado  who turns a year older but wiser today May 21.

Twenty five years ago, she made a splash when she represented her hometown Duero in the Miss Bohol 2001 Pageant. 

During the past two decades, the public has seen how she blossomed into the self-assured and confident woman that she is right now. 

Almost everyone knows that the lovely Vanessa is the spouse of Bohol Gov. Aris Aumentado & the mom of Lawrence,  Lance, Liam & Life but only a few know that she once reigned as Miss Bohol Sandugo 2001, a title she assumed being next in line after the original winner wasn’t able to finish her reign.

She later met her future in- laws during the 2002 Miss Bohol Sandugo Pageant when she crowned the new queen together with the late Gov. Erico Aumentado & former First Lady Greenie Aumentado.

To Vanessa, Long May You Reign! Cheers!

Apriel Smith during the evening gown competition

It was the most polished evening gown presentation that we've seen on the Miss Universe Philippines stage. 

Apriel Smith 

The stance, the walk, the pose and the breathtaking white evening gown that highlighted her figure and complemented her dusky Filipina complexion. 

Hoping Apriel Smith of Cebu City gets the chance to represent us on the global stage.

You represented the  Visayas with grace, confidence & pride.
