PARTICIPANTS AND CANDIDATES MUST BE ALL GENSAN RESIDENTS, NOT COMING FROM NEIGHBORING CITIES AND MUNICIPALITIES. WHY? TO SHOW THAT GENSAN HAS ALSO ITS POTENTIAL MODELS-TO-BE, RIGHT?

dranreb… we started bodyfest as an open competition. we do have a lot of potential models here but we decided that it would be better if we allow non-residents to join. this would expose the locals to new horizons and hopefully open windows of opportunities for them. we cannot however do this to MISS GENSAN considering that the winners will be ambassadors of goodwill representing gensan.

Hey!
I suggest you need to reset the schedule of tuna bodyfest on weekend instead of weekdays so that Generals will have the chance to have a mouth watering experience.
Am i ryt?

we’re excited about the first screening and elimination show on august 24, at gaisano mall gensan. so far, a number of hopefuls have requested for copies of the application form. just would like to remind everyone that this is a MODELING COMPETITION so what we’re looking at are not the buff and muscle and super sexy type individuals. we are looking for individuals who have the X-FACTOR and could be the next super-model.

The top model of 2007 was using her title to sell herself.. what can you do for that kind of immorality?.. I hope u will make some standard moral requirements of your competition so that u will not be abused by these kind of anomalies..
