Bb. Capul-Turismo '09: The Candidates


They are teen-agers yet, but they stood up to the task of representing Capul in its tourism efforts. And they all were qualified – charming, articulate and true Abaknon young ladies.

Here were the candidates in the recent search for Bb. Capul – Turismo:


Candidate # 1 - Narcisa Ann Largo

Candidate # 2 - Julie Ann Bayabay Guardiano

Candidate # 3 - Norinel Flores Catucod

Candidate # 4 - Therese Nina Daga Saluib

Candidate # 5 - Ria Mente Bandal

Candidate # 6 - April Shane Marzol Pelito

Candidate # 7 - Bembet Cabili


The Special Awards winners:

Noriel and Bembet tied for Best in National Costume, here with Mrs. Dolores Bascon and Mr. Domingo Castillo.

Ms. Talent Therese Nina Saluib who performed a heart-tugging and message-filled declamation.

Best in Casual Attire: Narcisa Ann Largo, awarded byDra. Irene Cinco and Mr. Neil Magloyuan.

And the ultimate task...

... the three finalists were asked to write their advice to a letter sender. Their answers became the basis for determining the winner (a very novel way).


And the final ranking ....

2nd Runner-Up: Norinel Catucod (with Brgy. 4 Chairman Zito Tan and Dra. Shiela Ortego-Cula)

1st Runner-Up: Therese Nina Saluib (with former mayor Veronica Castillo and Atty. Reo Andarino)

If Brgy. San Luis brought crabs, this group brought a stand-out animal - the Pinoy beast of burden.

La Estudiantina Capulena
