Who will be Mutya sa Tagbilaran 2022?

So who will be Mutya sa Tagbilaran 2022? It has been two years since the annual search for Tagbilaran's fairest was put on hold because of the covid19 pandemic. 

To add spice and excitement to the pageant, Your Roving Eye is sharing his annual prediction list on the probable winners this year. 

Last 2019, your blogger was able to predict correctly all the top five finalists including the eventual winner Celina Villoceno.

In coming up with my choices, I based it on wow factor, charm & personality and my gut feel. I also took into consideration their swimwear presentation and how the girls interacted with the emcees during the Talent Competition two nights ago.

Of course, this list won't have a bearing on the final results so just take it with a grain of salt.

So who are the frontrunners?

Here they are in their official glamshots from acclaimed Boholano photographer Chris Ramasola:

The heavy favorite among pageant experts & fans alike is TALOTO's Kyra Hopkins. She just need  to sustain the momentum and ace the final Q&A. 

Another strong contender is COGON's Trishia Libres. She has one of the prettiest faces in this year's batch and has already competed in the national level when she represented Bohol in the 2019 Miss Silka Philippines search. She just needs to modulate her voice when she speaks. 

Another strong candidate is MANGA's Claire Bagnol, the Megan Young lookalike and one of the tallest candidates. She has to believe in herself, boost her confidence and overcome her shyness. 

DAMPAS' bet Mary Grace Reyes is one of the pleasant surprises this year. Very pretty, very conversational and showed grace & charm during the talent competition.

Rounding out my top five is the very classy & elegant Kyla Recio of MANSASA who was very poised and self assured everytime she was onstage. 

Bubbling up in my list are TIPTIP's Ma. Bella Acero, POB III Antoinette Webb, POB II Claire Virtudazo, POB I Jesyl Calvario and SAN ISIDRO Tiffany Romerde who wowed the audience during the talent night with a show- stopping vocal performance. 

In my opinion, that was genuine talent that needed no props nor backup to shine through. 

So there. These are the ladies who I think will slug it out for the title. But remember, destiny, timing & luck will also matter a lot in beauty competitions. 

Tonight, one of the favorites might falter thus making it possible for one of the dark horses or underdogs to sneak in and surprise everyone. In short, it's anybody's ball game. 

There are so many factors to consider. Physical conditioning, picking the right question and giving a great response, the make up & styling and the composition of the judging panel. 

So good luck ladies and may the stars align for you tonight.
