Mutya Ning Kapampangan ’12: Beauty and Brains

In front of the San Guillermo Church in Bacolor, Pampanga are (L-R) Mutya Ning Kapampangan candidates Meily Joy Cordero of Sto. Tomas, Sahagun, Anne Marie Claire Sahagun of Sta. Rita, Carolina Samson of Sta. Ana, Michelle Gutierrez of Sasmuan, Regina Rose David of San Simon, Roanne Mei Dayao of San Luis, Sheena Rhea Puno of the City of San Fernando, Emylyn Perez of Porac, Joana Galang of Minalin, Christine Jessa David of Mexico, Marylaine Mallari of Masantol, Shanice Quizon of Magalang;Justine Michelle Balgan of Macabebe, Mary Ann Mungcal of Arayat, , Monica Patricia Camille Bulanday of Floridablanca, Mary Rose Alde of Candaba, Apple Rose Rodil of Guagua, Olive Anne Medina of Mabalacat City, Ruffa Yumang of Apalit, Fatima Khokhawalla of Lubao, Rona Villamor of Bacolor and Abeleda, Marie Eugenie Abeleda of Angeles City.
After more than a month of intensive preparations and the usual struggles that go along with it, the question frequently asked in beauty pageants will be answered Monday at the coronation night of Mutya Ning Kapampangan 2012: Who is the fairest of them all?
Pageant chairperson Board Member Olga Frances “Fritzie” David-Dizon said Pampanga’s 19 towns and three cities were all represented as pushed by Gov. Lilia Pineda.
“It is an open race. I will be not surprised if your personal choices will not be the eventual major winners. But what’s noticeable is that the candidates of the 2012 batch are made up of a rare combination of beauty and brains,” said David-Dizon, who accompanied the 22 candidates in their mall tours at the SM City Pampanga, SM Savemore in Apalit and Marquee Mall in Angeles City.
Veteran broadcasters and Perry Pangan of 95.1 DWRW FM and John Susi of 105.5 Ultimate FM invited the candidates to their respective news program and a couple of times on air they said this year’s batch is made up of intelligent and pretty candidates.
Provincial Information Officer Joel Mapiles, who hosts a news program on Wednesdays and Fridays at 95.1 FM, said “they are indeed very beautiful and sounded they have something very good in between their ears.”
Pineda and Vice Gov. Joseller “Yeng” Guiao are expected to lead the annual beauty pageant at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center here. The contest and the Trade Fair, which opened at the SM City Pampanga on December 7, are the highlights of the 441st founding anniversary of Pampanga.
On December 11, the Most Outstanding Kapampangan Awards (MOKA) – considered the climax of the week-long activities—will be held in the same venue.
David-Dizon expressed gratitude to the generous sponsors of the event and the provincial capitol officials and workers led by Provincial Administrator Atty. Andres “Jun” Pangilinan.
“I am just the tip of the iceberg. The other members of the committee and the unseen hands of workers are the ones we must really commend as they ensured the success of the pageant,” said David-Dizon, who included Metro-Manila judges in the swimsuit competition on December 4 at SM City San Fernando Downtown, pre-pageant; talent portion at SM City Clark on December 7; and, at the coronation night.
A “text voting” was sponsored by Sun Cellular. Smart Communications also supported all-out the pageant. Philippines AirAsia is expected to name their choice candidate as “Miss AirAsia.”
David-Dizon and Senior Board Member Cris Garbo earlier led the distribution of bank checks to the 22 candidates representing the province’s subsidy of P50,000 each at the C’ Panizza and Pasta restaurant at the Northwalk 2, JASA Road, City of San Fernando.
“I want to cite the big help of Board Member Garbo as the vice chairperson of the ‘Mutya.’ He is a veteran in handling successful pageants,” said David-Dizon.
For his part, Garbo said the subsidy totalling P1.1 million was released through the efforts of Pineda and Guiao.
Garbo said he had filed an ordinance “institutionalizing” the five major winners of the annual pageant “as ambassadors of goodwill” who will join the governor and other officials in welcoming visitors and help promote the province’s products and tourism destinations.
The 22 other candidates are: Puno, Sheena Rhea P. Puno of this city; Fatima P. Khokhawalla, Lubao; Abeleda, Marie Eugenie B., Angeles City; Yumang, Ruffa K., Apalit; Mungcal, Mary Ann G., Arayat; Villamor, Rona H., Bacolor; Alde, Mary Rose M., Candaba; Bulanday, Monica Patricia Camille A., Floridablanca; Rodil, Apple Rose M., Guagua; Medina, Olive Anne B., Mabalacat City; Balgan, Justine Michelle, Macabebe; Quizon, Shanice A., Magalang; Mallari, Marylaine D., Masantol; Galang, Joana L., Minalin; David, Christine Jessa S., Mexico; Perez, Emylyn D., Porac; Dayao, Roanne Mei S., San Luis; David, Regina Rose G., San Simon; Gutierrez, Michelle G., Sasmuan; Samson, Carolina J., Sta. Ana; Sahagun, Anne Marie Claire D., Sta. Rita; and Cordero, Meily Joy, Sto. Tomas.
Peter de Vera, described as a “selfless artist” for his commitment to improve and recognize the craft of other artists, is the director and choreographer of the pageant. Robert Kentor Canlas of Angeles City handled the media productions.
Reigning Mutya Ning Kapampangan Kimberly Wijangco of Mabalacat City will turn over her crown to the next Miss Pampanga surrounded by her court.
