My fascination with Miss Tagbilaran officially started when my sister Marcel Orimaco Gatal was selected from shortlisted girls to represent the city in the 1983 Miss Young Bohol Pageant.
She competed along with more than 30 girls representing the different Kabataang Barangay chapters around the province of Bohol.
She was crowned Miss Young Bohol and was selected also as Best in Gown
1986 Miss Tagbilaran
But it was back in 1986 just when the heady People Power Revolution was sweeping the entire country that Suzette Clarin was crowned the very first Miss Tagbilaran in contemporary times. Giving her stiff competition was Ma. Theresa "Pinky" Penales who eventually finished as 1st RU and Best in Gown.
1987 Miss Tagbilaran
Fiel Angeli Espejo Araoarao now Mrs. Fiel Angeli Gabin, Tagbilaran City Information Officer was selected Miss Tagbilaran 1987 in a pageant organized by the Leo Club of Tagbilaran. Named 1st RU & Best in Swimsuit was Rosario Inting and 2nd RU was Flor Gulleban. Both ladies are now US- based.
All three winners were proclaimed in their official swimsuit. A first & only in Miss Tagbilaran history.

2009 Miss Tagbilaran
Although she was not a Tagbilaranon, Daisy Jean Quilicot became Miss Tagbilaran 2009 because of a technicality. The City Government invited the then CVSCAFT now BISU to field a representative in the 2009 Miss Tagbilaran Pageant. Daisy Jean, at the time, was the reigning Miss CVSCAFT and thus became the state university's pageant.
Looking back, just when a CVSCAFT/ BISU student was crowned Miss Bohol, the girl was carrying the MIss Tagbilaran sash. Perhaps, this is the reason why CVSCAFT/ BISU did not send a candidate to Miss Tagbilaran the following year.

According
to Fiel Angeli Araoarao Gabin, Miss Tagbilaran 1987 and presently the City
Information Officer of Tagbilaran, Miss Tagbilaran has been revived and will
have its grand coronation night this April as highlight for the Saulog and City
Fiesta celebration of Tagbilaran
The
pageant is following the 2010 format of Miss Panglao where all the barangays
had their own preliminary searches and culminated with a grand pageant on the
eve of the town's pageant
So
who will emerge as Miss Tagbilaran this year? Will this be a discovery of
another beauty who will do us proud in Bb Pilipinas, Mutya ng Pilipinas or Miss
Philippines Earth?
