NYCE FINDS Whitening Shop Testimonials

As NYCE FINDS Whitening Shop marks its fabulous fourth anniversary, two of the shop’s very loyal & satisfied clients gave their respective testimonials.

A beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle. That is why I am thankful to Nyce Finds Whitening Shop for providing an extensive line of affordable & effective whitening products.

I always go for their Neutro Skin IV Drip because it always gives me not only that glowing & vibrant skin but also a more youthful & healthier look. 

I always look forward to my pampering sessions & beauty treatments because of the warm & friendly staff and the relaxing ambience. 

Now you know what my beauty secret is”

MS. CATHERINE CADAYONA TABANIAG

Miss Philippines Earth Runner Up 2017 

         CHARLOW CIELO ARBASTO  

Fashion Designer/ Stylist  

The dark uneven spots on my skin caused by allergies have been a source of my insecurity for years and years. An appointment at Nyce Finds Whitening Shop turned out to be the best decision ever. The results were amazing.  The dark spots soon vanished. A greatly improved and fairer skin tone became more noticeable. My self- esteem came back. Of course, the staff’s genuine smiles & efficient services make every appointment worth your while.

What I have enjoyed and have become at present is because of them. I am no longer a mere fashion designer, but with Bohol's leading gluta shop, I have metamorphosed into a person with high self-esteem and great motivation. And that is my gluta story.

Miss Ubay 2007 To Represent The Philippines in the 2018 Miss Intercontinental Pageant

Karen Boyonas Gallman 

Year 2017 was unprecedented when two Boholanas emerged as runners up in two of the biggest national pageants in the country. 
Glyssa Bingas Perez placed as 1^st Princess in the 2017 Miss World Philippines pageant while Catherine Cadayona Tabaniag was a runner up & Top Ten finisher in the 2017 Miss Philippines Earth Pageant.

This year 2018 has proven to be a bumper harvest for Boholana beauty queens who competed in the nationals. Bohol produced three national titleholders.

ANOTHER BB. PILIPINAS TITLEHOLDER. After Anna Maris Igpit- Taylor and Amanda Arles both from Panglao, Bohol were crowned 2006 Bb. Pilipinas- World & 2014 Miss SCUBA Philippines, Bohol produced another national beauty queen when Karen Juanita Boyonas Gallman who traces her roots in Ubay, Bohol was crowned as 2018 Bb Pilipinas- Intercontinental.

Incidentally, the Miss Intercontinental 2018 pageant will be held in the Philippines with more than 80 delegates expected to participate in the 47th edition of Miss Intercontinental. Pageant finals is set for January 26, 2019 at the Mall of Asia Arena.

  Karen was Miss Ubay 2007 but didn't compete in Miss Bohol

Miss Intercontinental has proven to be elusive to Fiipina beauties. The closest we had to winning was the 1^st Runner Up finish of both Katarina Rodriguez early this year and Christi Lynn Mc Garry back in 2015. Shall we see the crowning of a Boholana as the first Filipina Miss Intercontinental? We shall find out soon.

She didn’t win any of the 10 special awards at stake but in the end she got the biggest title and succeeded the 2017 Miss Silka Bohol winner Sheena Marie Licong.  Catherine Cadayona Tabaniag of Panglao who turned 20 during the pageant received her best birthday gift yet, the Miss Silka Bohol 2018 crown and title. 

She gained the judges' nod with her consistent performance, commanding stage presence, great speaking skills and the luminous, silky smooth skin that is associated with the use of Silka beauty and skincare products from Cosmetique Asia Corporation.

And the Search is on for Bohol's Bet for Miss Philippines Earth 2018

 Catherine Tabaniag with Danise Duma 

Bohol began sending an official candidate for Miss Philippines Earth in 2015 after Alturas Group of Companies was awarded the franchise to organize the province- wide search for Bohol’s representative.  

The Bohol search had sent two worthy representatives already but it was only last year when Bohol’s bet finally made it as a top ten finalist.

With Panglao Mayor Nila Montero providing logistical and moral support and the whole town as cheerleader & morale booster, Catherine Cadayona Tabaniag, Panglao and Bohol’s bet to the 2017 national finals performed beyond expectations and had a stellar performance. 

Aside from making the top ten, she was also adjudged Miss Talent- Gold Medal, Best in Evening Gown- Silver Medal and as Darling of the Press- Bronze Medalist. Her runner up finish in the pageant made her into an overnight sensation in Bohol and had a heroine’s homecoming.

Ms. Tabaniag’s impressive showing last year has attracted a lot of qualified Boholanas to screen for this year’s Miss Philippines Earth- Bohol Search. Nine Bohol- based beauties showed up for the 1st screening of candidates at the Island City Mall Activity Center. 

Your Roving Eye, pageant guru Michael Tago and Catherine Tabaniag herself composed the judging panel during the screening held at the ICM Activity Center yesterday afternoon.
