Pauline Amelincx Goes for a Healthy & Fit Lifestyle

A year- long reign as Miss Bohol is not only about the glitter, the glamour & the endless social appearances. It is also a seemingly endless series of back- breaking and strenuous activities that needs stamina.

With her advocacy focused on sustainable tourism development, environmental conservation and anti- bullying which means a regular round of appearances as speaker and image behind those advocacy projects, Pauline needs to take charge of her health and fitness.

Destiny, Luck & Timing Worked in Favor of Pauline

She was destined to become Miss Bohol. That unforgettable night last July 22, the stars aligned in her favor and won over the stunning Gazini Ganados, one of the most popular girls to ever compete in Miss Bohol pageant history.

Did you know that the newly- crowned Miss Bohol 2017 almost didn’t get the chance to compete in the province’s most prestigious beauty competition? You see, two years ago, competed in Anyag sa Tubigon 2015, her town’s official preliminary pageant for Miss Bohol.

Your Roving Eye with Pauline during Anyag sa Tubigon 2015

She was raw having no prior pageant experience before the Anyag pageant but she had potential for she was witty and very engaging. The 5'9" half- Belgian beauty eventually finished as 1^st RU to Olive Zoilo in Anyag sa Tubigon 2015. Ms. Zoilo who recently passed the CPA board exams was Miss Talent and 3^rd RU in last year’s Miss Bohol Pageant. 

 Pauline & Olive, the last two girls for the Anyag crown await the results 

Pauline was convinced by Anyag sa Tubigon pageant organizers and mentors to represent her town this year and she was more than ready having been trained by Tubigon’s formidable team of pageant experts & mentors.

The rest as they say, is pageant history. So girls, never ever think that your journey towards the crown has ended just because you didn't make it the first time. Who knows, Lady Luck might be smiling at you the next time around. Cheers!

Anyag sa Tubigon 2015 Casual Interview

Anyag sa Tubigon always places a premium on the Q & A segments. After all, the eventual winners are expected to be spokespersons for the advocacy projects that the pageant has adopted. This year, Your Blogger was invited to co- host the pageant and was assigned with the two rounds of interviews.

The first round of interviews came in two parts: the casual chit chat where the questions were based on the girls’ biodata. For the second part, the questions were submitted by the girls themselves.

Here are the 12 candidates as they showed a bit of their personalities and expressed their opinions on matters ranging from matters of the heart to future plans & career goals.

BATTLE OF BEAUTY, BRAINS & BREEDING

Tanda sa Tubigon 2015 recently marked its Silver anniversary since its founding in 1990. Aside from its succulent & fresh seafood and sumptuous Filipino fiesta favorites, Tubigon is also renowned for its festive, entertaining & spectacular productions.

Also known as one of Bohol’s bedrocks for culture & the arts, the bustling seaport town, as usual, did not disappoint when it staged its twinbill centerpiece offerings: Anyag sa Tubigon & the first- ever Ambongan sa Tubigon.

TWIN TIDBITS

There were two interesting things that I found about Anyag sa Tubigon Pageant. First, is the inclusion of the candidates’ professionalism and their conduct during the entire duration of the pageant in the pre- judging scores and second is the swimsuit competition or its absence as in the case of Anyag sa Tubigon which proved that pageants can still be crowd- drawers even without the requisite swimsuit segment.

 

 

Queen of the Night

Jason Barba Martinote, pageant chair, revealed that the decision is in deference to the event’s reason for its being which is the fiesta in honor of St. Isidor de Labrador.

Your Blogger with eventual winner

Your Blogger was invited to co- host the Anyag pageant specifically to handle the Q & A segments. Dennis Balbero directed the fast- paced two hour show that gave the spotlight to the 12 candidates. After the club wear, evening gowns & casual interviews, the field was trimmed to the final five.

FINAL FIVE

Last Two Standing

One final common question sealed the fate of the ladies. It was a thrilling down-to-the- wire finish for the morena charmer Jean Olive Zoilo & the bubbly & spontaneous half- Belgian stunner Pauline Amelinckx. 

ANYAG &HER COURT

In the end, it was Jean Olive Zoilo, a svelte and stunning 19 year old Accountancy student, who prevailed & Pauline was named 1st RU. Rounding out the Top Five were 2nd RU Jay Lucille Pastor, 3rd RU Frenzis Bustamante & 4th RU Micel Damarillos.

Pageant Hosts: Haydee Centinales- Cabasan & Kris Nimrod Cabigas

A big factor in the show's success was the excellent tandem of ABS CBN Cebu’s “Mag TV Na” host Kris Nimrod Cabigas whose energy & enthusiasm certainly kept everyone glued to the pageant & the elegant & cool demeanor of Ms. Haydee Centinales- Cabasan.
