By the way, people have been asking me of my reactions/thoughts on the results of the beauty pageant – all I can say is – perhaps next time beauty pageant candidates would learn not to belittle other cities and instead be proud of their birth place, be it “a very small town” or a large city.
Congratulations to the organizers of the Miss Kagay-an 2012 pageant!

Hello Mindanaoan!
Thank you for writing about this. Yes, I also witness the coronation night at the Limketkai Centre Atrium. The candidates are very lovely, stunning and beguile. However, as a candidate, it’s there prerogative to answer questions, but answering it with negativity allows the mind of the people to be alarmed. So sad! And I love the part in your paragraph where you write your reactions.
Thanks for your comment, BukidnonVoice 🙂 Really appreciate this 🙂
