a pageant for alternatives, ALL HAIL... BOW DOWN


Last night i watched in awe as 21 beautiful flipinos/filipinas paraded and sashayed to the rhythm that made their hips sway with much gusto.

It was a first.

On this island that has taken pride in coining itself the QUEEN city of the south, it is the perfect set up to search for its QUEEN.

It was a night where all Queens of their own rights dressed up to the nines to lend support to our sisters and trooped to the event. Well it was a bevvy, no wait a sea, oh no wait since the event was held at the Pacific Grand ballroom of the Waterfront Hotel lets say that a sea is a bit too small for a sea lets make it an ocean of soul sisters in all shapes and sizes and all forms imaginable for it was a night for the ladies who are gentlemen and gentlemen who are ladies as its theme suggests.

Everyone was on high spirits and when the lights went down and the music was on queue. The shrieks and the cheers grew louder and louder as one by one the delegates paraded on stage with their take on the national costumes of the nations they represent.

The night ended well and a lovely delegate was proclaimed the Queen of Cebu, Kudos to the Organizers, to Jude Bacalso who looked chic in her Cary Santiago Terno and to Vince Escario as well, they were just fabulous in hosting the show from start to finish. I'm looking forward to next years' Pageant.
