Miss Panglao 2015 Advocacy Projects

The 2015 Miss Panglao Pageant continues the tradition of service to the community that started in 2010 through the collaborative efforts of Panglao Youth Organization & SK Municipal Federation of Panglao under the remarkable leadership of Ms. Aya Montero - former SK Mun. Federated President and MyMadamme Productions.

The 2015 Miss Panglao Pageant is not just another beauty pageant. It is a unique personality search that aims to select Panglao’s ambassadress of goodwill who will also be the spokesperson for the various projects & advocacies of the Youth of Panglao as well as be a positive role model for her peers and for the community

At the same time, the event will be the perfect avenue to focus the spotlight to the different Barangays and schools’ sustainable projects that focus on literacy, environment, entrepreneurship, cultural heritage, and sustainable livelihood.

By doing so, the event will be able to raise the awareness level on their chosen project proposals

Believing that a beauty queen is a very effective spokesperson, the winners of the 2015 Miss Panglao Pageant would surely be able to give these projects the needed push and attention. 

Now on its sixth year, the advocacy- based pageant, through the efforts of the Local Government Unit of Panglao headed by Hon. Nila Montero & the Sangguniang Bayan headed by Hon. Pedro Fuertes and this year's outreach partners, Bohol Tourist Police- Panglao, PNp-Panglao, Panglao Women's Association (RCC) , MSWD & Rotaract Club of Panglao Island, will now be implementing the various projects & advocacies of the youth of Panglao.

 Advocacy: Preservation and Maintenance of our Beaches and Shorelines

Our beloved Panglao is considered as the “Jewel of the Island” because of the beauty and wonders of our white sandy beaches. I personally witnessed the great benefits that Nature has given to us, Panglaoanons and I am truly grateful and thankful to God. 

 My advocacy will focus on the preservation and maintenance of our beaches and shorelines. I will call the attention of our fellow Panglaoanons to take care of it through cooperation and involvement. One  of the ways is a regular Coastal Clean-up Project that will include seminars and workshops on how to preserve the beauty of Panglao’s coastline.  

Every barangays should create a body that would be responsible for this in cooperation with the LGU particularly the Coastal Resource Management Resource office. Education & proper dissemination of info are the keys for Panglao to live up to its reputation as the Jewel of the Island

Advocacy: Youth Empowerment “Hero through Sports"

I have observed that today’s generation faces a lot of problems; drug addiction, teenage pregnancies and the out of school youth. I believe that in solving those problems, we should start with the little things through our initiative.

“Hero through Sports”, this means that the youth can be heroes by being physically fit through sports. Like basketball and volleyball leagues for both men and women, sports activities that can lead us into a stronger, tougher and wiser version of ourselves.

A version who can easily take the mile long journey towards the success of our town Panglao.
