After a two-year
break, the prestigious Miss Bohol Sandugo Search starts anew in its quest for
the province's ambassadress of goodwill.
It
may be recalled that the last Search was in 2005 when Panglao's lass, Ana Mariz
Arcay Igpit, won the title and eventually grabbed the much-coveted Binibining
Pilipinas-World crown in 2006.
Enthused
by the feat, the Miss Bohol Sandugo (MBS) Committee, now chaired by Baby Collins,
promises to continue the tradition of producing top-notch beauties.
| | | Essential
to the reinstitution of the Search is the support of City Deputy Mayor Mariano
Uy, the Acting Chairman of the Bohol Sandugo Foundation, Inc.
To
qualify the competition, hopefuls must be 17 to 23 years of age on the day of
the pageant (July 18); of good moral character; single, never been married and
not a parent; of Boholano descent; at least 5'3 tall; and at least high school
student. The qualification is aside from the tacit requirement of bearing good
poise and pleasant personality and possessing beauty of face and figure. |
Applicants
may be sponsored by Municipal/City Government, civic groups/organizations, or
private business firms/establishments which automatically becomes the party/entity
she is representing. This sponsorship scheme is set to ease the candidates from
the burden of expenses as well as to provide sponsors an avenue to promote themselves.
Submission
of accomplished entry form duly signed by the candidate, her parent/guardian and
sponsor, photocopy of birth certificate, 3 copies of half-body glamour shot (colored,
4"x6" in size) and letter of endorsement from sponsor are requirements
to complete the application process. An amount of six thousand pesos (P6,000.00),
which may be at the applicant's or sponsor's expense, must also be paid after
she has passed the screening and shall have been chosen as an official candidate.
Deadline
of filing of application is on June 13, 2008.
Aside
from getting the revered Miss Bohol Sandugo beauty title, the fortunate lass will
also take home sumptuous prizes. Scores of minor awards such as Best in Swimsuit,
Best in Gown, Miss Talent, Miss Friendship, Miss Photogenic, and Darling of the
Press among others are also in store.
The
Pageant and Coronation Night is scheduled at the Bohol Cultural Center on July
18, 2008 at 8 in the evening.
