The spectacular pageantry of
dazzling & eye- catching colors during the Parade of Festival Costumes that
opened the highly anticipated 2011 Miss Batuan Pageant
That's me hosting the pageant for the second time and flanking me are stunning Bea Uy and gorgeous fashionista Yes Tirol Dumagan both from Batuan and who came home just to be part of the event that served as town fiesta highlight
HOW
IT ALL STARTED
My first involvement with the Miss
Batuan Pageant was back in 2008 when I was invited to emcee the pageant. Three
years later, I got another call from the municipality this time from the
Project Chair herself, Marietta Adlaon Quesada of the Batauan,
Bohol LGU who requested for my assistance as Project Consultant and Pageant
Emcee for the 2011 Miss Batuan Search, I couldn't say no.
After all, Mommy Mayette, as we fondly
called her during our student days is the go- getter type who wouldn't take NO
for an answer. Besides, the refreshing and cool clime of the town up in Central
Bohol would be a welcome change from the frenetic pace of Tagbilaran City
Endless crisscrossing from Tagbilaran to
Batuan and back resulted in a grand and spectacular pageant night that drew
mixed reactions from those who witnessed the pageant. Well, partly because so
much was at stake in the pageant
The participating barangays and schools
that placed in the Top Three were to be given cash incentives to finance or
jumpstart any livelihood project or advocacies espoused
Kudos to the very credible set of judges
that was never swayed by the very partisan crowd that rooted for the
girls.
In the end, the crown went to the girl
who was deemed to have the complete package; beauty, bundles of charm &
confidence plus the requisite interview skills. Anyway, that's getting ahead of
the story
