CHARMING CECILE WINS MISS SILKA BOHOL 2016

As early as 2014, during the Miss Panglao Pageant that year where I sat as a member of the panel of judges, I already saw Cecile Mae Grupp as a potential winner for Miss Silka Philippines. 

And why not? 

Well, the skin whitening beauty product’s penchant for mestiza beauties and Cecile’s alluring combination of coquettish charm and saccharine sweetness were the factors going in her favor. 

Although Cecile eventually wound up as 2nd RU, I knew she was destined for something bigger.

And I was proven right! But that's getting ahead of the story.

 L-R: 2nd RU, Miss Silka Bohol 2016, 1st RU & 3rd RU

Last year, during the recruitment period for Miss Silka Bohol 2015, I remembered her again and went to Panglao to know her whereabouts. 

I found out that she was an OJT trainee at the Alona Tropical Beach Resort, I gave her my card and then asked if she was interested to join the pageant and she coyly declined saying that she was focusing on her studies at the Cristal E College in Panglao.

Cecile Mae Grupp stands out in her gown & swimwear

I got the surprise of my life today when I came across the news that Cecile Mae Grupp has just been selected as Miss Silka Bohol 2016 during the pageant finals held at the Island City Mall Activity Center and will be representing the province in the national finals later this year!

Aside from the crown, the newly- crowned Miss Silka Bohol 2016 also won Miss Photogenic and Best in Gown special awards.

Cecile will surely have big shoes to fill as last year's bet Geraldine Topsnik emerged 1st RU in the national finals but I'm confident she will do well . 

Cecile is the latest product from the Miss Panglao Pageant to have done well in other pageants. It's no surprise actually with the training & support from Mayor Nila Montero, Councilor Aya Montero & pageant mentor Deo Guden

Good luck Cecile Mae!
