The Sangguniang Kabataan Municipal Federated of Panglao headed by Hon. Aya Montero reinvented the Miss Panglao Pageant and turned it into a platform for the advocacy campaign of Panglao’s youth
Now on its third year, it has become a highly- anticipated personality search that culminated with a grand coronation night that selected the town’s ambassadress of goodwill who will not only be the spokesperson for the various projects & advocacies of SK Panglao but also be a positive role model for her peers and for the community
Most importantly, the pageant highlighted the varied projects of the participating SK barangays, schools & organizations that focus on literacy, environment, cultural heritage, health & sanitation, and entrepreneurship & sustainable livelihood.

According to Hon. Amira Montero, SK Panglao Federated Chair
” The Miss Panglao Pageant is a unique pageant since there is a strong emphasis on youth empowerment and dynamic involvement in community activities.
We want the pageant to be relevant and to be an avenue to empower our youth to push for their advocacy that would benefit the community
Just like last year’s winner, Miss Panglao 2012 will dedicate part of her year of reign to launch and promote an advocacy that she believes in because beauty queens are effective advocates of worthy causes”
