2018 Miss Bohol Girls Series # 7 Miss Jagna

For the second straight year, the Miss Bohol girls get to be photographed right at their hometowns or city of origin. This is not only to get to know the girls better but also to showcase and promote  their places’ landmarks and tourism potential.

 Roselle May C. Acebes

Twenty- one year old Roselle May Cuarto Acebes is representing the municipality of Jagna, the home of calamay and the gateway to Mindanao. 

She has always been the kind of girl who loves challenges and getting out from her comfort zone because the rewards far outweigh the risks. 

Besides, something achieved with hard work and sacrifices is far sweeter.

She recently graduated with a Bachelor of Tourism Management degree from the University of San Carlos, Magna Cum Laude.  

During her college years, she was the Vice President for Internal Affairs – USC Department of Hospitality Management. She was First Honorable Mention during her high school graduation and was the President- CVIF Chorale(2012-2013) , Central Visayan Institute Foundation. 

The Jagna Municipio evokes nostalgia and reminiscences

Her passions are music especially classical music, educational travel & leisure & literature.

Wearing the Miss Jagna sash in the ongoing Miss Bohol Pageant is both an honor and a responsibility. Everyone in the province knows that Jagna is one of the powerhouses in Bohol pageantry and there’s a lot of pressure to do well. In fact, Jagna is the only place to win the Miss Bohol crown for three consecutive years, (1990, 1991, 1992) a record that still stands today. 

 With one of Jagna’s symbols of dynamic economy

Adding to the pressure is the performance of her town’s last three bets who all made it to the final five. But Roselle is unfazed and as a dutiful and proud daughter of Jagna, she is ready for one of the biggest challenges of her young life and tackle it the way she focused on her studies; with determination, discipline and drive and of course, not to treat the pageant as a competition but to be herself, to enjoy the whole experience and make new friends along the way.

In Memory of Suzette Auza Garcia: Beautiful Pride of Talibon

Suzette Garcia: A Candle in the Wind

  

The lovely Suzette Garcia has gone ahead to the Great Beyond. As Binibining Talibon 1992, Suzette represented her municipality in the 1992 Miss Bohol Pageant where her beautiful angelic face , charm & wit made her one of the favorites to win the crown. 

True enough, she emerged 2^nd RU to Celevel Ranoco of Jagna and she was also selected as Best in Filipina Costume.

Suzette who has been based for years in Dubai succumbed to complications from lung cancer and left behind an only daughter Reina.  She was in her early 40’s.

Dear blog readers, do spare a minute of silence for the eternal repose of Suzette who is now safely in the warm embrace of our Creator in heaven where she is now free from pain and sorrow.

Miss Lila & Miss Jagna for Miss Bohol 2016

  Miss LILA & Miss JAGNA

Candidate # 1 Miss Lila Ritzi Salinasal Lague, 21 years old, is a BSEd graduate of Holy Name University. She is teaching at one of the private sectarian high schools in Bohol while taking review classes for the licensure exams for teachers. 

Ritzi initially struck me as coy and reserved but she easily warms up to people once she gets to know them a bit better. 

Ritzi is an active member of the Student Catholic Action (Lila Chapter) and Parish Youth Ministry.

 Miss LILA

Candidate # 2 Miss Jagna Ashley Nicole Cadelina Collamat , 23 years old, a member of the American National Society of High School Scholars, a straight "A" student and was nominated  to participate in Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine during her junior and senior years.  

Perky, bubbly and a dynamo are just some of the words to describe this future nurse. Ashley is fun to be with and such a joy to talk to. 

Your Roving Eye has never seen this girl without a winsome smile on her face.   

The young California- raised beauty loves to dance, sketch & hike. 

  Miss JAGNA

Catch the excitement and the drama of the most glamorous highlight of Bohol Sandugo Festival 2016 as Miss Bohol marks the 90^th year since its debut in 1926!

Jagna: Beauty Capital of Bohol

Aside from its famous delicacy Calamay, the coastal town of Jagna is also famous for its beautiful women. Ascencion Gaviola is officially recorded as the very first to be crowned as Miss Bohol and the first Boholana to compete in a nationwide pageant that was sanctioned by then Pres. Manuel L. Quezon in 1926.

Jagna also set a record in Miss Bohol for its seven consecutive placements in the Top Three from 1989 to 1995. 

 Jagna’s Trinity of Beauty

But its reputation as the home to some of Bohol’s most beautiful women was set in 1992 when Jagna became the first municipality to win the Miss Bohol crown in three successive years.

 

 Jagna’s  Six Aces of Beauty

Jagna salutes its beautiful women who have given the town a reason to celebrate in the annual beauty derby.

Jagna: Bohol's Calamay Country

One cannot mention the word Jagna without images of the iconic calamay swirling in one’s mind.  Calamay, a sweet sticky delicacy made from sticky rice, coconut milk  & a secret original concoction has become a way of life and a source of income for the town. 

In fact, so revered is the calamay that the LGU partnered with the original calamay makers of Brgy. Can-upao, businesses and civil society organizations for the celebration of the first ever Calamay Festival last  April 28-30, 2015 at the Jagna Municipal Plaza. 

Rebecca Rocha: continuing the beautiful tradition of an impressive Miss Jagna 

Highlighting the festival was the selection of Rebecca Rocha as Miss Jagna Festival Queen 2015 who represented her town beautifully in Miss Bohol 2015
