Mr. & Ms. Western Visayas 2016 Shines on July 23 at USA Gym

Ushering a new face of glamorous pageantry in the region this year is the conceptualization of Mr. And Ms. Western Visayas, a brainchild project of visionary Ilonggos and artists to create a neo-blueprint of beauty search that reaches other provinces in finding its regional ambassadors and ambassadress. Though we often perceived beauty pageants as a showcase of physical appeal, talents and wit, Mr. and Ms. Western Visayas elevates a little higher as expected because they are looking for faces that best represents the image, mind and heart of exceptional youth role models. The pageant itself is more than just a production showcase of elegance and glamour; it comes with a big heart for passionate advocacy since proceeds of the show will benefit the UNICEF international projects. The brains and passionate people behind this significant beauty pageant are LIZETTE L. AGUSTIN - executive producer, GILBERT FRANCISCO - event organizer, ALLYN D. ESCOTO- pageant coordinator, FEDERICO LLIGE- production head and DOLLY CHUA – pageant consultant.
