Miss Bohol Triumph: The Secret behind The Success

Have you ever wondered why Tagbilaran City is reemerging as the beauty powerhouse of Bohol? 

Back in the 90’s, it was Jagna that dominated the Miss Bohol Pageant. In fact, the town of calamay is the first & only town to achieve a threepeat victory in the province’s most prestigious beauty competition with three crowns three years in a row.

 Presently, Tagbilaran looks like it will be achieving the next threepeat. And the answer lies with the very dynamic support system of Tagbilaran City Mayor Baba Yap. 

First Lady Jane Yap has always been there not only to support the city mayor in his governance of the city but also to add the much- needed woman’s touch especially with her hands- on supervision and handling of the Mutya sa Tagbilaran Pageant.

With her team of dedicated experts, her support for the city’s representative to Miss Bohol has been astounding and winning three crowns in five years  speaks volumes about her support. 

Newly- crowned Miss Bohol 2019 Celina Villoceno, revealed that the city’s all- out support plus the guidance of Mrs. Jane Yap spelled the difference in her now successful bid for the Miss Bohol crown.

Mrs. Yap’s commitment to the city and support for Mayor Yap doesn’t end with Miss Bohol but extends to enhancing the city’s culture & arts programs, addressing the needs of women and children, being an instrument for woman empowerment and being a dedicated wife & loving mother to her kids and the city residents.

Keep it up and more power Mrs. Yap! Cheers!
