2018 Miss Bohol Girls Series # 7 Miss Jagna

For the second straight year, the Miss Bohol girls get to be photographed right at their hometowns or city of origin. This is not only to get to know the girls better but also to showcase and promote  their places’ landmarks and tourism potential.

 Roselle May C. Acebes

Twenty- one year old Roselle May Cuarto Acebes is representing the municipality of Jagna, the home of calamay and the gateway to Mindanao. 

She has always been the kind of girl who loves challenges and getting out from her comfort zone because the rewards far outweigh the risks. 

Besides, something achieved with hard work and sacrifices is far sweeter.

She recently graduated with a Bachelor of Tourism Management degree from the University of San Carlos, Magna Cum Laude.  

During her college years, she was the Vice President for Internal Affairs – USC Department of Hospitality Management. She was First Honorable Mention during her high school graduation and was the President- CVIF Chorale(2012-2013) , Central Visayan Institute Foundation. 

The Jagna Municipio evokes nostalgia and reminiscences

Her passions are music especially classical music, educational travel & leisure & literature.

Wearing the Miss Jagna sash in the ongoing Miss Bohol Pageant is both an honor and a responsibility. Everyone in the province knows that Jagna is one of the powerhouses in Bohol pageantry and there’s a lot of pressure to do well. In fact, Jagna is the only place to win the Miss Bohol crown for three consecutive years, (1990, 1991, 1992) a record that still stands today. 

 With one of Jagna’s symbols of dynamic economy

Adding to the pressure is the performance of her town’s last three bets who all made it to the final five. But Roselle is unfazed and as a dutiful and proud daughter of Jagna, she is ready for one of the biggest challenges of her young life and tackle it the way she focused on her studies; with determination, discipline and drive and of course, not to treat the pageant as a competition but to be herself, to enjoy the whole experience and make new friends along the way.

The Municipality of Clarin is represented by a vivacious lady with the unique name of Liahona Lane C. Lorzano. 

 LOVELY LADY: Liahona Lane Lorzano

The 17 year old beauty has been an achiever and go- getter since her elementary days. 

During her junior high years, she was involved in extracurricular activities and was both the Editor-in-Chief of her school paper and Student Council President which garnered her a Student Council Leadership awardee. 

She also represented her school in the Bohol Association of Catholic Schools Meet where she won the Gold Medal for General Information.

When asked how she was able to juggle her activities, she credited it to effective time management. She is presently a Grade 12 student currently taking up Accountancy and Business Management. 

 Lending her voice, time & effort for a worthy advocacy

She is a volunteer at IHHELPP which stands for Improving Health, Housing, Education, and Livelihood for the Poor in the Philippines, a non- profit organization which was founded in Utah, USA. The organization uses the technology called compressed earth blocks, composed of 80% soil and 20% cement. 

A first in Bohol, these blocks are 20x stronger and more disaster- resilient than the ordinary building blocks that are commonly used.  Ms. Lorzano is proud that by the end of June, the organization will be donating public restrooms to four municipalities namely Tubigon, Inabanga, Clarin and Calape.

2018 Miss Bohol Girls Series # 2 Matahum sa Ubay

For the second straight year, the Miss Bohol girls get to be photographed right at their hometowns or city of origin. This is not only to get to know the girls better but also to showcase and promote  their places’ landmarks and tourism potential. 

Ubay’s bet for Miss Bohol 2018 is 22 year old Anasela Zarisa “Mickay” Gaviola. She reminds me of Mary Jean MJ Lastimosa, the iconic Pinay beauty queen. The 5’ 6” tall beauty is the poster child for independence and resilience. 

Beauty. Brains. Body 

After finishing her high school studies, she went all the way to Baguio City to pursue a BS Architecture degree which she finished a year ago. Like fish to water, she thrived and managed to cope beautifully in a place that was far far away from home. 

From her freshman to junior year, she was named as her peers’ year representative as well as club treasurer in her school’s Architecture Collegiate Society. Recognized for her friendly ways and leadership potentials, Mickay was also University of Baguio’s CFC YFC Campus Head.

Armed with a college diploma, she works for an architectural firm to learn more of the trade and to become financially independent.

During her college days, her beauty didn’t go unnoticed and thus got picked as one of the candidates for Miss University of Baguio School of Eng’g & Architecture where she emerged as 1^st Runner Up.  She even qualified as Miss Baguio candidate and finished in the Top Ten.

Her biggest pageant triumph is winning the Matahum sa Ubay 2018 crown and earning the right to represent her town in the ongoing 2018 Miss Bohol pageant.

Charysse Jane Roferos 

For the second straight year, the Miss Bohol girls get to be photographed right at their hometowns or city of origin. This is not only to get to know the girls better but also to showcase and promote  their places’ landmarks and tourism potential.  

Meet Loon’s bet for Miss Bohol 2018. She is 21 year old Charysse Jane “Jiejie” Camilotes Roferos. The 5 ‘ 5” tall registered nurse finished her BS Nursing degree from Cebu Normal University last March 2017.

Jiejie is no stranger to the world of pageantry as she was named Miss CNU Intramurals 2014 First Runner Up and represented the College of Nursing in the Miss Cebu Normal University 2016 search where she emerged 3^rd Runner Up.  She has also represented her school in the 2016 Miss PASUC (Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges) Region VII Level and placed as 1^st Runner-Up.

Her biggest pageant victory was being crowned as Miss Philippines Earth- Bohol 2016 and was all set to represent the province in the national finals but destiny and fate intervened.

This year, Charysse Jane is set on winning the crown that has eluded past representatives from her town.
