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. But huge it may have been, it was not able to steal the thunder away from the real stars of the show - the street performers. This group won Best in Costume and Best in Performance Showcase for the barangay-based competition.

Tribu Mananguete: Landusan Boys

This was one of the entries for the school-based category. Coming from the Landusan National High School, the team was composed mainly of boys. Coached by Mr. Oniel Pelito, they wore coconut leaves woven like skirts as they simulated the tuba-gatherers. This group proved to be the most colorful and playful of the lot. And here are raw video clips of their performance.
