The Miss Panglao, which is considered as one of Bohol’s most prestigious beauty competitions, aims not only to select the municipality’s ambassadress of the youth and the spokesperson of the town’s tourism industry but also to encourage the different barangays and schools of the municipality to have a platform for their sustainable projects which will be focused during the pageant.

FOURTEEN FAB FEMALES

This year’s pageant has a bevy of 14 candidates composed of representatives from all of the municipality’s ten barangays, three Panglao- based educational institutions and a socio- civic organization who will pit pulchritude, poise & personality to be Panglao’s ambassadress of goodwill.  

The sponsoring entities of the top three winning candidates will also receive a cash incentive as seed money to jumpstart their chosen projects or advocacies for the youth & the community.

According to Hon. Amira Montero, Miss Panglao founder and chair of the SB’s committee on tourism, arts & culture, “The Miss Panglao Pageant is a unique pageant since there is a strong emphasis on youth empowerment and dynamic involvement in community activities.”

 Ms Tangnan & Ms Libaong taught them the ABC's of reading

Mr. Deo Guden, Miss Panglao 2017 Project Director shares that as part of the girls’ community involvement and socio- civic awareness, the girls were immersed for one whole day in a series of activities that included a feeding program, book reading & beach clean up in Brgy. Doljo of Panglao. It was an activity that made the girls become more aware of their roles and responsibilities in their community. That to be Miss Panglao is not only about beauty & brains but also about being committed and socially responsible girls.

 

 All in a day’s work!

See you all on Friday, August 25 as Bohol tourism’s crowning jewel crowns its fairest ladies for 2017 in a grand and fabulous pageant finale!

 Ms. Poblacion makes a perfect shot!
