After the pageant, not much was heard from Ms Bacarro for she went back quietly to Cagayan de Oro City. The following year, halfway through her year- long reign as Miss Bohol Sandugo 2002, news came out that Ms Bacarro had been selected as an official candidate in the Ruby Edition of Bb Pilipinas 2003 Beauty Pageant.

On nationwide TV during the pageant’s grand coronation night, Boholanos were in for a shock when Cherry Mae (she was Candidate # 3) introduced herself as the candidate representing the City of Golden Friendship, Cagayan de Oro City! 

Although Cherry May was one of the girls who was predicted to make a splash in the 40th year edition of the country's most prestigious beauty pageant, she did not make the first cut.

So many speculations & innuendoes came out after her Bb. Pilipinas journey. She has her own reasons for what she did and what she had to do that time. 

Guess what? During the 2003 Miss Bohol Sandugo Pageant, there was no mention of Ms Bacarro as outgoing queen. Since it was her 1^st RU Twinkle Besas who assumed her duties & responsibilities, it was only proper that she would also be the one to do her farewell walk and crown the new queen.
