One of the most memorable photos among the 2018 Miss Bohol girls 

An interesting thing about Mutya sa Alburquerque is being the last to register for the Miss Bohol 2018 Pageant which was on its first week of activities already before the Mutya sa Alburquerque was to be crowned.

Although there isn’t a specific criteria to guide the selection of the awardee, the unwritten rule is to look for composure, confidence & substance when answering questions plus the charm & personality of the candidate.

3. Miss Maribojoc, an international flight attendant, who was effortlessly beautiful.

Finally, here’s a gentle reminder for all the girls’ supporters and fans:

The press presentation should not be treated as a barometer or indicator on who will emerge as this year’s winners.  While giving the media and the public a chance to get to know more about the girls especially on their school & career backgrounds, plus information on the schedule of activities & venues, the press presentation is primarily an opportunity to promote & publicize the pageant.

All 21 candidates will compete in swimsuits, evening gowns & onstage interviews on pageant night.  The total scores combined with the talent night scores will determine the five candidates who will advance to the final round. 

DON’T FORGET: Talent Night: Friday, July 13, 8 pm, Bohol Cultural Center and Pageant Night: Saturday, July 21, 8 pm, Bohol Wisdom School Gym

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.
