In her welcome remarks, Mutya sa Tagbilaran 2017 Chair & Tagbilaran City First Lady Jane Censoria Cajes-Yap envisions the candidates to grow in the journey -- by providing the necessary skills training like personality development, communication workshops, spiritual formation and ramp walk. With the support from the City Govt. of Tagbilaran headed by Mayor Baba Yap, the idea is to enhance the girls' potentials which could enrich them in all aspects. Equipped with this essential knowledge, the candidates will emerge confident and empowered even after the competition.
