Miss Bohol Sandugo 2007 CANCELLED
« on: June 26, 2007, 02:36:03 AM »
BY LEO UDTOHAN
Bohol Sunday Post Writer

Yes, you read our headline so clear: there is no Miss Bohol Sandugo this year. My email was flooded with letters asking if there is a pageant for Miss Bohol Sandugo. They've read the Sandugo schedule of activities and they were surprised to find out that there was no schedule for the search.

Without much a do, I called the Bohol Sandugo Foundation office and I confirmed it from a certain Herdz Paredes that indeed, there is no Miss Bohol Sandugo 2007.

"Late naman gud sa preparation (it's already late for the preparation)," Paredes said.

I don't know if this Paredes is a reliable source but she said she's working for the Bohol Sandugo Foundation for this event.

It's the discretion of the foundation not to hold the Miss Bohol Sandugo, she further said.
 The search for the most beautiful Boholana which began in 1950s (the search had a different name) had produced Miss Bohol Sandugo 2005 Anna Maris Igpit who won the Bb. Pilipinas 2006-World.

This is not the second time that there is no Miss Bohol Sandugo. There was no Miss Bohol in 1987 after Gemma Mandin (one of the Tagbilaran's Five Prettiest, the pet project of then OIC Mayor Dan Lim) was crowned Miss Bohol in Dec. 1986. She was then an engineering student from San Carlos University when she joined the pageant. Now, Mandin is a flight stewardess of Philippine Airlines.
   
In a world where we like beauty pageant, in Bohol, beauty pageants are no longer just beauty pageants. Even in the remote barangays down to the city, beauty pageants have become a significant part of our culture. It is probably true that there are no other countries in the world that hold as many beauty contests as the Philippines. The 'Miss' contests are considered important social functions whereby beauty queens are admired, respected and treated like stars wherever they go.

In the Marimari, it said that these beauty pageants see the participation of many beautiful and ambitious young women from different social backgrounds who aspire for quick ascend to the top of the career ladder. However, in today's beauty pageant, contestants can no longer rely on good looks alone. In order to have a chance at being crowned, a contestant must also possess intelligence, be over a minimum height and be able to produce a high school leaving certificate. Although winning is tough, nevertheless, many young women still participate to have a chance at being voted the 'fairest of them all'.

The most surprised person about the "sad" news was Anna Maris Igpit.

A text message from her last Friday said that: "I'm surprised it's not pushing though once again. That means I have the crown three years in a row! Anyways, I'm kinda not happy because people who've been looking forward to it. It highlights the Sandugo festival and this pageant brought me to Bb. Pilipinas and even to Poland for the Miss World. I am not glad that it was cancelled but I'm more challenged to continue my reign as Bohol's ambassador of goodwill.

She said it is unfortunate that once again we're breaking the tradition. Miss Bohol Sandugo is something Boholanos always look forward to. It's celebration of womanhood and even contributes to tourism promotion.

"I feel sad that we are taking away another opportunity for a Boholana to shine once again in the pageant scene. I hope this won't hinder our young ladies to reach their dreams, especially those who wanted to become beauty queens someday," she continued.

Maris wants to help for this year's search if the foundation would have asked her so.

"I'm very much willing to extend my hand for this pageant to push through. But if ever we won't be able to do anything about it, then I'd still be very much willing to be Bohol's reigning queen and be once again this year's ambassador of goodwill," Maris shared.

Joining the Miss Bohol Sandugo is more than a diadem or trophy you have won. It is an accomplishment for most women. Rhiz Nova Arenas, Miss Bohol Sandugo 2004 from Inabanga recalled that "Being crowned Ms Bohol Sandugo 2004 is one of the best things that ever happened to me and perhaps my greatest achievement in life."

"I wanted to represent our town, my mom's hometown, because I wanted to inspire the people and do my share for the Sandugo celebration. I did hope to be able to make a difference for our province and leave a legacy worth emulating to the young men and women of Bohol. The night I was chosen Ms Bohol Sandugo was pure bliss! It's such an overwhelming feeling...at that time, I thought of all my accomplishments in life and realized that this is the most splendid one. Something that compensates for the lack of all the others! Having read the comments of our kababayans, I'm very happy to know that we share the same strong conviction for being Boholano. I want to thank all of you for believing in us, for lifting our spirits to carry on this celebration of life, beauty and womanhood," Nova wrote at the feedback forum of the www.bohol.ph.

While others believed that Miss Bohol Sandugo does not truly represent Boholana girlhood, but is "largely made up of a congregation of girls who are seeking personal publicity and profit," some beauty-watchers and fanatics agreed otherwise that this tradition must go on.

Are we running out of beautiful ladies? Or is it the end of the oldest and grandest search for the most beautiful Boholana to represent our island-province?

I'm not buying the reason for the cancellation of Bohol Miss Sangugo 2007. I'm not really keen myself on watching beauty pageants but canceling the event due to lack of preparation is just not right. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Anyway... that will be savings for the local government and the money can be better put to good use.... like.... buying more anti rabbies vaccines.

Arf, arf, Awooooo!!!

Patience, my GEC. When you get there, it actually doesn't change anything at all. Only the first and the last seem to matter. Enjoy the in-betweens for now.

I used to watch Ms Bohol Sandugo back in Pinas. I've a number of former students who joined and became Tagbilaran's or Bohol's beauty queens. (I am proudest of Twinkle, Diane, and Lorraine who until now have remained actively in touch with me.) It's sad that we've broken the tradition for the wrong reasons. I'm all for beauty and brains!!!  :-*

WHAT ABOUT BEAUTY PAGEANTS? (or, why I just love beauty pageants!)
(Final. For The Bohol Sunday Post Ms. F January 7, 2007 Issue. Thanks.)


by Fiel Angeli Espejo Araoarao - Gabin


How it all started: A 13-year-old freshman had to “borrow” dresses and accessories from co-delegates (one from Mia Manuelita Mascariñas who is now Atty. Green) after she was “forced” to represent Bohol Division in the Miss Regional Secondary Schools Press Conference on the second day of the regional gathering at Larena National Vocational College (now Siquijor State College) in November 1983. She lost. How would a naïve and very shy “ugly duckling” compete with older ladies who had more years of experience? But, thanks to BNHS’ Ma’am Portia Bayron Jubac, “The Boholenian” adviser and “presscon mother,” Dr. Louis T. Palapar (BAC), Ma’am Fe Machete and Ma’am Nenita Bernido (BSAT), Ma’am Liliosa Baluma (DWC-T), other teachers and student delegates for their guidance and help. In the Nov. 1985 RSSPC at BSAT, she was second to Silliman University’s Michelle Bulaclac who was crowned Miss RSSPC. As provincial winner of the science fair essay writing contest, she was sent to the Regional Science Fair and Quiz at Saint Alphonsus Catholic School in Lapulapu City, was Bohol muse for the Miss RSFQ pageant and came home with the second runner-up and Best in Casual Wear awards (Nov. 1986). A week before the BNHS Bukang Liwayway Dance Troupe was adjudged provincial champion in the 1986 “Hadla nga Bol-anon” folkdancing competition sponsored by OIC Gov. Victor dela Serna, she delivered an oration piece written by English teacher-mentor Eva Espuelas – her ticket to the Miss Talent award and eventually, the Miss BNHS Personality ’86 title. A million thanks to the ever-gracious Ma’am Minnie Villamor Del Rosario for providing the wardrobe.

After HS graduation, upon the prodding of a BLDT colleague, the late Grace Sajulga Revil - Biloy, former PMI-Colleges Bohol PE teacher, she was one of the Miss Tagbilaran ’87 contestants. On May 9, 1987, the Leo Club of Tagbilaran then headed by Jerry Joseph A. Lim, gave her the Miss Talent trophy for her performance of “Binasuan,” her Mama Wincie’s favorite dance, while Miss Tagbilaran ’86 Suzette Clarin turned over the crown...

Indeed, there were many times of losses and gains, of defeats and triumphs in between - of being a friend or “shock absorber,’ chaperone or “alalay,” make-up artist, talent scout and trainor to a candidate; usherette, anchorwoman and the first major emceeing stint - the Miss College of Arts and Sciences, with Raul Phillip O. Gatal; as pageant choreographer, as the 7-month pregnant lady of ceremonies of Miss Teen Siquijor ’96, chair of the publicity committee, and project chairperson/coordinator of the Mutya sa Tagbilaran ’98 (won by the glamorous Jesyl Bongosia Del Rosario), TISBA Campus Girl 2000 (winner: the bemedalled BWS valedictorian Ruby Radaza Seroje), Ubi Festival Queen 2004 (winner: the very eloquent Rhiz Nova Tagsip Arenas who became Miss Bohol Sandugo 2004 ), Mutya sa Cogon 2006 (winner: songbird Jesat Cathy Jubane Duce, Bohol SK Pop Idol 2006) and many others. Then, finally as beauty pageant judge (in speaking, writing, singing, and dance contests, as well) in Bohol towns and even in Siquijor and Oriental Negros.

So, what is it about beauty pageants? A lady from the media was heard to have asked: “What is the importance of beauty pageants? Do we really need beauty pageants?” Many times we have heard of the lines “A thing of beauty is a joy forever,” “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” and other clichés pertaining to beauty. Beauty is associated with art, vice-versa. (Art is an expression of a person’s thoughts, feelings and emotions.) I still remember Sir Eric Cañete, our Philosophy instructor at DWC-T, telling us about “truth, goodness and beauty” as among the reasons for man’s existence.

Back to the question ‘do we really need beauty pageants:’ In my own opinion, people need to personify intangible qualities or traits so the youth can see role models for them to emulate. We see courage and grace under pressure as the candidate starts to bare (introduce) herself to the audience in the production number. We can tell if she has lofty thoughts and ideals and sincerity in the Q and A portion, unless the answer is memorized. In the casual wear, swimsuit (decent cut preferred) and gown competitions, we can judge the physical attributes like the bodily figure, shape of legs, complexion and the hair. The talent showcase, of course, allows us a glimpse if the candidate can hit the right tune, execute the right movements with ease and fluidity, internalize properly a given situation, enunciate and project well a literary piece, or capture and express her thoughts in drawing, as the case may be. However, more than the appearance, what really matters is the attitude of the candidate, her dealings with other people, especially, after she wins or loses in the competition. We can tell if she is the humble victor type or the bitter loser, considering that it’s hard to handle failure. Some say failure is postponed success.

Joining or winning beauty pageants could be a stepping-stone to success, only if one possesses the right attitude and harnessed potentials. There is also the so-called “beauty with a purpose” which is precisely why the Miss World 2006 gave a big percentage to the candidate’s involvement in charitable works in the over-all rating and ranking. Aside from the usual criteria, organizers are also zooming in on the lady with the “heart” or compassion to reach out to the needy. In this context, candidates of beauty pageants should, therefore, aspire to be role models, to show what is good, right, moral and just - traits that should be possessed by the youth in these contemporary times. What do former First Lady Imelda Romualdez-Marcos (Manila beauty queen in the 1950’s), Miss International 1964 Gemma Cruz-Araneta (former Secretary of the Department of Tourism), Miss International 1970 Aurora Pijuan – Manotoc (erstwhile member of the Batasang Pambansa), Miss Universe 1973 Margarita Moran – Floirendo (influential civic leader and respected businesswoman in Mindanao) have in common? They are, to borrow the phrase of James Guadalquiver, the epitomes of timeless beauty, natural elegance, and regal pedigree. But more than that, they have redefined beauty by becoming successful compassionate leaders in their respective fields and endeavors. They have developed and exemplified the value of hard work, strength of character and most of all, faith in God. (Most of beauty pageant contestants do go to church, pray the rosary/novena or at least make the sign of the cross before competing.)

In Bohol, we have our very own Anna Maris Arcay Igpit from Panglao (this writer had the pleasure of knowing her during the Miss Bohol Sandugo 2003 and 2005 tilts) who had the honor of representing our province in the Binibining Pilipinas 2006 and the Philippines in the 56th Miss World pageant at Sala Kongresowa Auditorium, Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw, Poland.

Allow me to share a little opinion.

First of all, this kind of event builds personallity, talent and confidence to our young generation. It trains young people to be competitive in real life; i.e. you have to do a lot of preparation, develop your talent... even some wished that they would grow taller, some already prepared their speach even a year back, some made research to improve their IQ.... etc.

I am saddened to the fact that these young candidates took years preparing themselves for this event and all of a sudden it was cancelled for some narrow reason. This is not just a money making event but a search for someone to represent the Boholano People.

Since begining, this became as a yearly event, so as our tradition goes "bisan walay kwarta mag fiesta".... so, bisan walay budget, ato kining himoon, bisan simple lang....

In my opinion, cancelling this event is an irresponsible decision and degrading/neglect to Boholana women...

Paredes's reason that theres little time for preparation is unacceptable and very narrow. The committee is only talking about themselves. How about the years of personal preparation for these young candidates? .... If government has no funds, then ask from the private sector....organize sponsors....

I remembered an article of Engr. Jess Tirol that when Legaspi anchored in Bohol shores, he described the women as beautiful.... We must be proud of this fact nga bisan sa una wala pay mga beauty products nga available, pero maanyag ang atong mga baje... tingale ang uban adto nila gipang sip-on, walay toothbrush ug nagkabulingit, pero maanyag lang gihapon...

Sad to say, the candidates of "beauty pageants" lately have been less than beautiful and/or smart. Much of these events have evolved into mediocrity and sheer bore-fests. The signs are apparent in the thickenning of make-ups, more constricted poster photos, and most importantly, the number of "boooos" contestants get for the wrong grammar, pronunciations and logic of their answers. Gone are the days when pageants were still about beauty and glamour. (And well, money).

It's not that we've run out of "beautiful and smart (and rich)" candidates. It is more on the fact that nobody is willing to take up the challenge anymore. "Baduy" and "untasteful" are the most common remarks. I can hear the some girls saying it's "cheap" to join pageants and would rather do gigs up the catwalk as models. While a growing number are saying it's the worst form of sexual exploitation - legally parading young innocent girls who will be preys to businessmen or politician-flesh-predators after they win.

Some traditions are worth keeping while other aren't. As a people, we, the Boholanos, I guess, are just starting to rethink about OUR traditions - whether they are worth keeping or not.

I love beauty pageants, Mike. And don't you dare belittle the bayots in the world. (Please know that despite my love for beauty pageants, I've declined a number of times to join any contest of this sort. I enjoy being just a spectator of the show.)

Gawd, Riva, make sure you'd post the right photo. Go to your profile. At the left side bar, you can see "Forum Profile Information." When you click that, I'm sure a geek like you would know what to do next. :-*

I disagree to the line "fed to politicians and businessmen". If some of the contestants have fallen prey, that is their own personal choice. Life is full of risk and deceptions. However, they choose to take risk, rather than to stay idle and marry a jobless canto-boy. That is their own way of taking one step forward to improving their lives. Nobody can blame anybody for other people's personal choice.

Moreover, the reality is that most of our beautiful women are already being exploited as secretaries, i mean sexytaries.

Joining a beauty contest is noble and winners or loosers will step down the stage with head up-high & honor. If some of our folks think that this is some kinda bikini bar or a night club event...what a shame!!!

i just want it to be done with taste. no garish gowns, shocking make up and unflattering bikinis!!!
i wonder, what if we do the pageant in bisaya??? then, that way,the contestants can fully express themselves without having to worry about being grammatically correct.

Yeah you are absolutely right Riva...good idea.... also instead of bikinis, they should wear a skimpy saya or short patadiong... and the venue for photography would be in our very own Kainggit public beach in order to cut the cost.....hehehe....

you're right, Riva.

I remember there was one beauty pageant in our town. The lady of ceremony asked one contestant: "What can you do in order to protect or preserve our environment."

Contestant: "We should stop illegal lodging."

I was there on that fateful night. A little boy curious about many things.

Paglabay sa kinse ka tuig, mogiit gihapon ang pahiyom sa akong panagway kung managingting sa akong alimpatakan ang "Stop illegal lodging."

I think the last line supports my earlier statement.

The best place for pictorial is inside our monumental Agora Market Building in front of BQ Mall.

Moreover, since Kainggit is like a small stage, contestants would be lined up in the stairs and the photographer will be at a distance of 10 meters away at sea riding a "bangka" with inscription of "Kuja' Divers"....hehehe...

god!!!!!! you guys are barbarically funny!

mike, i had the misfortune or the honor, to watch a beauty pageant at HNU. i forgot what it was but my aunt was one of the pageant's consultants or something like that so i got a seat for free.a contestant was asked whether she was against or for the legalization of jueteng or lotto (or something like that) in bohol. i can still remember her exact answer, "no, because it is not the problem to the solution. thank you." that did it, i resolve to disqualify myself from pageant invitations!!!!

okay!

Since this event is a topic of Sandugo and it's is all about the blood compact please correct me if I am wrong indeed.
I will have my font color changed to red just to honor for the celebration of the occasion.
Please take note and think deep all?...... ???
The city mayor does not allow adult book stores with xxx videos, or the kinky foreplay toys that are sold in those type of adult establishments.(Whats make you think he wants to see little girls wiggling their buttocks in skimpy swimsuits especailly around crowds that are drinking ahem in case you have not noticed Bohol has been increasing with pedophiles, rapist, and other serious crimes, why provoke it?) I Think possibly mayor Lim is worried that some people will get out of control and someone could get hurt.
He does not even like movies with love scenes in them. We have had plenty of sci-fi movies playing in our malls here, along with Walt Disney, and some violent movies.
Love scene movies not!
You want to know why the pageant is probably really canceled read back to The Bohol Chronicle about eight months or more back and you will see an article written about how the mayor does not want to exploit just beauty and sexxism during pageants. he felt that too much was being concentrated on this subjects about pageants, and wants more energy focused on the academics.
The mayor on the other hand does have boxing scheduled for Sandugo and as you can see always sponsors boxing events.
Boxing is violent and both an aggressive sport and is seen around the world by many.
Come on girls in Bohol you do not need a beauty pageant to represent your face and place.
You just need your self confidence that says you are a good person and you need to have the type of nice friends who know how to and when to give you positive compliments to make you feel encouraged in todays times.
I have always seen these kinds of pageants demeaning and a money contest among parents.
I get so turned off when I see a beautiful Boholana lady all festered up with fake hair, False eye lash's, birthday cake face, and some gown that some parents have poured three or more months worth of their hard earned work into and when the young lady does not win they are way down on themselves. :'(
I have judged many contest here and have seen it time and again.
Why go through the money, agony, and popularity contest always intense and poised unnaturally when you ladies can represent Bohol as being naturally your lovely selves?
Besides you avoid embarrassment,by being just simply beautiful towards the people and things around you all the time.
Never mind the contest it is not the end of the world, and concentrate and do good in other things such as quiz contests, spelling bee's
things that show off your intelligence.
I say allot more power to you always when it comes to brain over beauty!
Good Luck All!
 ;)

In my opinion, sakto man sab ni nga Mayor, kay sa pagkatinuod lang xxx video makapaubos jud sa bili sa mga kababaehan..

Sa laing bahin, beauty pegaent, is good para sa mga naay talent nga kababaehan nga gustong makapadayag sa ilang talento apan, usa usab kini ka hinungdan kung mahibutang sa peligro ang ilang kinabuhi, kay tiaw bay, maglakaw lakaw ka sa atubangan sa daghang tawo nga halos wala nay sapot.. nya daghan pud karon ang nagkatag nga mga kalalakihan nga gusto rang magpahimulos sa mga babaye, pwera lang sa mga matarong nga lalaki..

Siguro ang Mayor gusto lang nga a protektahan ang mga kababaehan aron dili mahisukamod sa umaabot.

Kani ako rapud nga opinion..

WHAT?????????no swim wear????? the land of the most beautiful beaches in the RP, unya walay swimsuit competition?!?!?!?!?! dili na pwede, either we have it or cancel the entire thing! hahahahaha

okay ko sa swimwear as long as they carry it well, it's all about taste! and please, whoever says ruffles, garrish colors, laces or studs are flattering on a swimsuit competition??? and there are some na grabe ang bilbil...

really i might sound so vain BUT really, a person's confidence make her stand out...unya feeling nako ang ms. sandugo kay scripted tanan, everything's so choreographed; ang paglakaw, ug unsay itubag!!! sus, anyone can memorize lines, anyone can follow directions BUT not everyone can carry a swimsuit well nor make anyone see that the gown is made for her and not the other way around. add smart and wit to the confidence and even a plain looking one would catch attention.

i am blabbing again...forgive

I guess the topic is getting hotter, and more sarcastic day by day.....forgot to mention funnier...

With this old fashioned attitude of the Mayor, I can imagine the future image of a Boholana as fat, thick glasses with protruding teeth.... aha! "Nerd" ... thats what the mayor want the future Boholana to look like....

You are right Riva, we have the most beautiful "top of the line" beaches and Boholanas are not wearing bikinis? What to wear then.... lukay sa lubi & bagol as bra?!!! ...patronize our own product....

delikado ang lukay macky kay basin mo spontaneously combust sa kainit sa bohol! BAGOL??? unsa man na, manglalatik??? hahahaha!!!!

a western friend, after having known me and my other boholana friends said that the women from our province are li hai...sharp and strong...and that's an informed compliment really because he knows many filipinas! and i think this is what a boholana is, someone who knows when to be soft and sweet yet who also knows how to be strong when principles are at stake. of course it goes without saying that we have the sunniest disposition in life (and the sweetest smile)...sige lang ug ngiit maski na lugpitan na diay ang kumajingking! hahahahahahahaha!!!

and now i will sing my own boholana song "ug ikaw ondoy, mangitag pangasaw-onon, siguraduha baya ondoy, na bol-anon. kay kung boholana, swerte ka......."

hahahahahahahahahahaha

fat, thick glasses with the worse over bite ever???? macky, i am sure rose and chin and the rest of the boholanas would object to that....that looks like betty la fea!!!!

You mean like this? :o , this is the closest I could compare from among the smileys....

So ang bagol for bra is a sturdy material .... besides you won't have to worry about "wardrobe malfunction" when you get up that stage.....
