2018 Miss Bohol Girls Series # 9 Miss Alburquerque

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.

 Niela is smart & beautiful

The municipality of Alburquerque is represented by a smart and charming 18 year old named Maria Niela A. Bungabong.  

The young achiever is an incoming college freshman of the University of the Philippines- Cebu where she intends to bring with her the same drive and dedication that she developed when she was still in the secondary level.

She finished her senior high studies with major in Science Technology Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) Strand at Tagbilaran City Science High School with honors. 

Aside from her academics, she was involved not only in the community as a Confraternity of our Lady of Lourdes member but also in campus organizations; TSCI Mathematics Club president, Red Cross Youth (Bohol Chapter) Club member, Girl Scout of the Philippines (Bohol Chapter) member and Youth for Christ (Bohol Chapter) member.

Her advocacy project is “Mariculture of Fishes through Inland Fishing” which aims to introduce and implement inland fishing to Albur’s fishing communities that will go hand in hand with a sustainable natural resources management that encompasses both sustainable fisheries management and poverty alleviation.

An interesting thing about Mutya sa Alburquerque is being the last to register for the Miss Bohol 2018 Pageant which was on its first week of activities already before the Mutya sa Alburquerque was to be crowned. Being the fast learner that she is, Niela has been able to adjust well, make friends with the other girls and is enjoying her Miss Bohol journey.

Good luck Niela!
