It switched back to Miss Bohol in 1986 when it was relaunched by then OIC Governor Atty. Victor de la Serna and became Mutya sa Bohol in 1988.

Starting this year though, the pageant will go back to being Miss Bohol minus the appellation “Sandugo”. This is to highlight the name of the province and to distinguish it from the Miss Sandugo International to be staged next year.
Reigning 2013 Miss Bohol Sandugo is Alicia's Brigett Burato |
This would mean that the reigning queen Brigette Burato of Alicia will be the last of the Miss Bohol Sandugo queens for we will usher in a new era for Bohol’s most prestigious beauty search. The renaming of the pageant is symbolic of the new direction that the pageant is headed to
ADVOCACY FOR THE MISS BOHOL WINNER
Your Blogger hopes that part of the new direction will be the adoption of a cause or advocacy and that whoever will be named Miss Bohol this year will be required to support the advocacy whether it’s women’s health, the environment or cultural heritage preservation.
This would ensure that her reign would become more meaningful and relevant.
So who will be this year’s Miss Bohol?
