Although there isn’t a specific criteria to guide the selection of the awardee, the unwritten rule is to look for composure, confidence & substance when answering questions plus the charm & personality of the candidate.

Finally, here’s a gentle reminder for all the girls’ supporters and fans:

The press presentation should not be treated as a barometer or indicator on who will emerge as this year’s winners.  While giving the media and the public a chance to get to know more about the girls especially on their school & career backgrounds, plus information on the schedule of activities & venues, the press presentation is primarily an opportunity to promote & publicize the pageant.

All 21 candidates will compete in swimsuits, evening gowns & onstage interviews on pageant night.  The total scores combined with the talent night scores will determine the five candidates who will advance to the final round. 

DON’T FORGET: Talent Night: Friday, July 13, 8 pm, Bohol Cultural Center and Pageant Night: Saturday, July 21, 8 pm, Bohol Wisdom School Gym
