27 ladies eye Miss Sandugo 2005 crown
July 3, 2005
They were all gorgeous, stunning and attractive. All 27 of them captivated the members
of the Bohol Tri-Media Association (BTMA), including Loreto M. Palapos, BTMA president
and executive director of the Bohol Sandugo Foundation, Inc. (BSFI), present during the
press presentation last Sunday at the Bohol Tropics Resort.
The date is July 16, Saturday, 7:00 p.m. and the place is Bohol Wisdom School Gymnasium
when these 27 ladies will show their bearing and their wits will be tested to prove to
the judges who is deserving of the title Miss Bohol Sandugo 2005. The candidates representing
the local government units are Jasmin T. Borja (Alburquerque), Ma. Christina A. Talili
(Alicia), Laricel E. Ginete (Baclayon), Christy Amiely G. Garrote (Cortes), Sheena May
C. Lague (Dauis), Ann Margarit Bersano (Guindulman), Juvie Pearl Cueva (Inabanga), Donna
Blanca S. Abrea (Jagna), Jinderly S. Jipos (Loay), Jane Phoebe N. Suello (Loon), April
Kristine P. Medequiso (Maribojoc), Ana Mariz A. Igpit (Panglao), Joan C. Bernaldez (Pilar),
Tonivi Salazar (Sagbayan), Iris P. Valmores (Talibon), Isadora Maidee T. Gonzales (Trinidad)
and April Lynn C. Recio (Tubigon).
Business establishments have also manifested full support by fielding in their candidates,
namely: Jedelyn A. Boctoto (CVSCAFT System), Noemi A. Amante (Bohol Beach Club), Barbie
Ann B. Vanta (F.S. Mining), Eula Dorothy Mercado (Herbert Malmis Hardware), Regine Codinera

Guia Chua (Shoppers’ Mart), Loise Angelique M. Tan (Wrenley’s Appliance Plaza) and Imy

This is the first time in many years since Palapos and Carmen C. Gatal, retired DILG provincial
director, who composed the Miss Bohol Sandugo working committee at that time when Atty.
Victor dela Serna was OIC-Governor and City Mayor Dan Neri Lim was OIC-Mayor gathered
54 beauties coming from different municipalities and agencies in the province to compete
in the prestigious quest for Bohol’s ambassadress of goodwill.
Doy Aradaza, who is also the official choreographer of Miss Philippines, Miss Mandaue
City, Miss Toledo City and Miss Pintados beauty tilts, is now on his second year of handling
the over-all concept, choreography and direction of the Miss Bohol Sandugo.
What’s interesting about this year’s show is the launching of the official MBS theme song
to be performed by the 27 ladies themselves in their production number. A feast for the
eyes is the carnival costume parade to showcase the candidates in colorful and creatively
designed outfits. As usual, the swimsuit competition will leave the audience at the edge
of their seats when the candidates display their whistle-bait figures. In the evening
gown competition, the ladies will give justice to the creations of Allan Plattring, one
of Cebu’s most sought-after couturiers.
In the pageant and coronation night, the judges will rate the ladies on the basis of their
wits and intelligence in answering the final question which is worth 50% of the total
score, while the other 50% gives weight on the total performance and beauty of face and
figure. For most part of the show, voice-over and audio-visual presentations (AVP) will
be used. The emcee will only appear during the question and answer portion.
Miss Bohol Sandugo is presented by the Bohol Sandugo Foundation, Inc. (BSFI). Today, the
candidates will have their location shooting at Bohol Tropics Resort. Talent show has
been set on July 10, Sunday, 2:00 in the afternoon at the Island City Mall Activity Center.
