Quir Nicole Maghuyop in the 2013 Miss Silka Philippines National Finals

2013 Miss Silka Bohol After winning the Miss Silka Bohol 2013 title, Quir Nicole Maghuyop placed Bohol in the national spotlight late last year when she represented the province in the national finals of Miss Silka Philippines 2014.

Ms. Maghuyop placed in the Top Ten from out of 30 provincial & regional beauty delegates from all over the country.

Thirty candidates from all over the country competed in the 2013 Miss Silka Philippines beauty pageant held at the Market! Market! Activity Center in Taguig, November 10.

PANEL OF JUDGES

It was an impressive panel of judges that included Miss World Philippines National Franchise Director Cory Quirino, entrepreneur George Salud; Silka ambassadress Iya Villania; Miss Earth 2004 Priscilla Meirelles; basketball pros David and Anthony Semerad; San Miguel Beermen point guard Chris Banchero; Azkals striker Angel Guirado; dramatic actor Martin del Rosario; talent manager and advertising guru Arnold Vegafria; TV host Divine Lee; and Cosmetique Asia Corp. marketing manager Jane Co.

Nicole confided to me that whoever is sent to represent Bohol in the pageant should not only be the most deserving. She also has to believe in herself and must have self- confidence. You see, the moment you step off the plane and see the other girls who have won in their respective provinces is enough to make you doubt yourself.

She has a practical tip:

 “Expect the worst but hope for the best. Seeing how beautiful & how tall the other candidates were, I already conditioned myself not to expect anything. I simply enjoyed bonding with the other girls especially those from the Visayas.

So when I was called as one of the Top Ten Semi-finalists, I was so shocked. Overall, it was such an unforgettable experience and made me into a more responsible and more mature person"

Here are some of the highlights from the pageant
