The Search is on for Ms. GenSan 2008

According to pageant chair Orman Manansala, to make the pageant more well represented, each of the 24 barangays of the city will be asked to send a representative.
Ideally, each beauty should come from the barangay she represents but this is not necessary in this competition. All the ladies however should satisfy residency rules of the Ms. GenSan pageant.
LAST YEAR’S MS.GENSAN 2007 & HER COURT. 20-year old NDDU Nursing Student Belle Esteban of Barangay Apopong was crowned Ms. Gensan 2007 on the night of September 2, 2007 in a jampacked ceremony at the KCC Convention & Trade Center. With her in the foto is her court (L-R) 1st Runner-Up Jen Cachuela and 2nd Runner-Up Lynn Menong.
Cash Prizes for the winners are as follows:
- Ms. GenSan 2008 – P25,000
- 1st Runner-up – P15,000
- 2nd Runner-up – P10,000
- Ms. Talent – P2,000
- Best in Festival Costume – P3,000
- Best in Swimswuit, Gown, & Ms. Congeniality – P1,000 each
- 7 Consolation Placers – P2,000 each.
The Ms. GenSan 2008 Pageant Night unfolds on September 4, 2008 at the Gaisano Mall of Gensan Atrium while the Talent Night and Ms. Gensan Sponsors’ Fashion Show happens on August 3.

I love all this beauty pageants!
Looking at those gorgeous, sexy, pretty young ladies…
everyone will be amazed that our city got lots of
hidden beauties! And mind you… got brains as well
di bah! Parang ako nong kabataan ko! hahaha! char lang oi!
Actually, i missed all the fun during our heydays…
when i was with the city government, i used to be one of
the organizing committee members together with Atty. Jeng
Gacal and Asst. City Admin. Glenn Gonzalez. It was always
a glamorous event of the year. Bongga gid!
Tell Orms to get Kenneth as one of the judges Kuya Avel
para maka-go kami ng Gensan. hehehe! Heard that Kuya Orms
been doing a great job! Hope the coming pageant will be the
best! Cheers!!!

@Kim, those were the days my friend! Too bad, there was no Mrs. Gensan then… you could have won handily. Haha!
Glennville is so busy these days as King of the Central Public Market while Atty. Jeng is busy with Manny Pacquiao as his legal counsel. They are way past their fascination with beauty queens. Hehe!
See? Orman took your bait. Hope Kenneth’s judging stint will really push through.
See you soon at the Tuna Festival!!!

Hehehe! The father is a celebrity… so it follows that the daughter is also a celebrity.
50 years is a milestone in a person’s life. Some people don’t even reach that age. We really have to celebrate BIG TIME for your papa!!!

she’s jeneveve cachuela, last year’s 1st runner up winner. she was among the top bets for miss gensan until the question and answer portion. i consider jen as our prodigal daughter coz she really speaks her mind and challenges authority. nevertheless she toes the line when push comes to shove.

judge ako sa miss teen gensan. i think unfair na mag-compare tayo. they are all pretty in their own right. pero opinion mo yan so okay lang. anyway, the crowning of romarie ivy cunanan as the 2008 miss gensan marks the end of the reign of one of the well-loved miss gensan in the person of clover “belle” esteban. for more pictures, check this out: http://www.imeem.com/orman/photo/viokCTpRjf/
