Question:
What do Precious Lara Quigaman, Alexis Rizzini Gomez & Karla Henry have in
common aside from being international beauty title holders?
Answer:
All three have graced the Miss Panglao Beauty Pageant.
Five
successive annual editions since it debuted in 2010, the Miss Panglao Pageant
has gained a solid reputation among pageant aficionados in Bohol for being
consistent in inviting world- class Filipina beauty pageants to either grace the event or sit as judge during
its finals night.is shaping up as the pageant

Panglao’s
mother & daughter tandem of Mayor Nila Montero & Aya Montero have
always dreamt of mounting a beauty pageant in Panglao not only to serve as
glamorous highlight of the town’s fiesta celebration but also to be an avenue
to select the town’s spokespersons & role models for the youth. Both knew
that one surefire way of building up a pageant’s reputation and credibility is
the presence of highly- respected Filipina beauty queens & entertainment
figures.
During
the pageant’s debut in 2010, no less than 2005 Bb Pilipinas- International
& 2005 Miss International Precious Lara Quigaman came to crown the first-
ever pageant winner.
