(UPDATE) Who will be Ms. GenSan 2008?
Update:Â Crowned Ms. GenSan 2008 is NDDU student Ivy Cunanan.
Photo shows (from left) Senator Mar Roxas, with Ms. GenSan 2008 and her court, 1st runner-up Rhyndyll Faye Bartolaba, a 19-year old NDDU student; the new Ms. GenSan Romemarie Ivy Cunanan, an 18-year old NDDU student; 2nd runner-up Kristelle Marie Velayo, a 20-year old MSUan, and Mayor Jun Acharon, at the Pageant Finals Night of the Search for Ms. GenSan 2008 at the Gaisano Mall of Gensan. Senator Roxas was the city’s Guest of Honor at the culmination program of the 10th Tuna Festival the follwing day.
As am writing this, the Finals of the Search for Ms. GenSan 2008 is just about to begin at the Gaisano Mall of GenSan Atrium, if it can start at its official time of 5pm.
Eleven beautiful and intelligent young “generals” who underwent a battery of interviews, physically exhausting pictorials and visitations to various areas in GenSan will give it all they’ve got for the last time and show to the whole world (a 5-minute ABS-CBN TV special will air on Magandang Umaga Socsargen, which will air on TFC) that they’ve got what it takes to be Ms. GenSan.
For a quick look, here are the candidates. (You may click on the images for a larger view.)
Now, who is your bet to grab the crown this time?
Thanks to Arnold Velasquez of Montage for these photos.





















Sarap talaga ng buhay ng Avel!
I’m sure this will reel in all the hits, man.

Hello! All Girls are beautiful! I hope they all got talents.
I was the former Binibini ng Heneral Santos 1985. It’s good to
hear something about this event. I wish them all the best of luck.
Pieces of advice, just be who you are and the most important thing
is not just beauty but also the brain..
Goodluck and wishing Gensan all the best.
I really miss Gensan. Hope one day, me and my family could come
back home and visit you all.
Always,
Christina (Japan)

Guys, here’s hoping that next year you might want to utilize a venue where the bulk of the audience can comfortably sit. It’s quite unfair hearing the contestant’s folks & relatives complaining of tired & aching feets (ugh!) …by the way, ang ganda ganda ni Kitel and she’s also smart….gurl, i’m a fan of yours!
to the author, payong kapatid lang po, u could’ve included the names of the contestant to make your article somewhat complete….di ba SOP na ‘yan if ure discussing beauty contests?
here are the nicknames of the candidates based on the picture arrangement above:
#1 - dyll faye (1st runner up)
#2 - kristel (2nd runner up)
#3 - mimi
#4 - gang-gang
#5 - romarie (miss gensan)
#6 - maechelle
#7 - barbie
#8 - pearl
#9 - star
#10 - alge
#11 - dollie

p.s

ang ganda nila….
lalo na ang #9…. hehehe
…danda ng nakagreen…familiar???
….its my greatest frustration in life..to be a beauty queen!!!kc 4″10 lang ako eh….hehehe…wawa…
i really admire the batch 2008 of Ms. Gensan. i cant believe that the Generals has the hidden treasures of beautiful and smart women . I just wanna PUT EMPHASIS TO CONTESTANT #3, mS. KRISTEL MARIE vELAYO. in my own opinion, she deserves to be the the Ms. GensAN 2008. HER capacity, beauty and intellect is really diffrent among the 11 candidates, ….she has the chance to win Ms. Aliwan 2008 ( the festival of all festivals in the Phils.)
and there batch for me are the best. MS. Gensan didnt appear CHEAP. my points of view as an audience really changed alot. This batch is really competent compared to the previous batches.
it is just only my opinion and points of view.. no hurt feelings..
puro beauties….. whoever will win the pageant… congratulation, you deserve to win….
goodluck to all..!
avel, we have some additional photos of the candidates at http://www.gensanexchange.com, fyi…
Galing! Galing talaga! ng mga ache ko! Palibhasa ang hahaba ng mga buhok!!! Bravo!! We expect more good shows and projects from you!
@AMbercradle -

i believe romarie can win the aliwan fest..di rn sya mahihirapang makisalamuha sa iba..she’s really good in conversation..very sensible girl..in short smart..hehehe..all she needs to do is to entrust everything to God..GO ROME!!!
thank u po ulit..
may blind item ako pra sa inyo. natatandaan niyo pa ba yung kagaganap pa lamang na ms. gensan 2008 nung sept.04??? well , may naririnig ako na luto daw ang nasabing pageant. kasi daw may isang JUDGE sa contest na mababa magbigay ng score sa isa sa mga top 3 sa nasabing event. mmm…… sino kaya itong judge na ‘to at sino sa top 3 ang binigyan niya ng maliit na marka??? hoy judge #_____ alam mo kung sino ka!!! tanong ko lang sayo, may konsensya ka pa ba??? ooopppps! bato-bato sa langit, ang TATAMAAN ‘wag magagalit!
always remember na, ang PIKON ay laging talo!

Hi Orman. It was really a great production. Kudos to the production team.
Ms gensan will soon become an institution.
to wyvernx0103
Its always like that when your bet didnt win. You blame the judges and said all sort of insulting remarks. The set of judges this year are people of integrity. The organizers would not have chosen them if they are not reliable. Right Orman? So better luck next time na lang sa candidate ninyo. The three winners deserved to be on the top three.
@jhaybe -
thaaaaaaaaanks!=]
@dj moko -
MOKONG!!! hahaha…
kumusta, ‘KONG?
@archmykel - tumpak ka dyan mike! para sa akin… ang batch this year ang katangi-tangi… hindi kami nahirapan dahil lahat mauutak. may mga kanya-kanyang ganda sila and i loved all of them. i have my personal choices but then again, producer lang ako, hindi ako judge. sa mga napili, mabuhay kayo! well-deserved talaga! nahirapan ang mga judges this year… pero yung klase ng hirap na proud sila dahil may maipagmamalaki talaga ang kariktang-miss gensan. pinili ang mga judges dahil may “K” sila. integrity-wise, bow kami sa kanila. pansinin nyo… yang tatlong winners, lahat ipinanganak sa gensan. kaya talagang happy kaming lahat sa resulta. see you next year uli!!!
@wyvernx0103 - ang masasabi ko lang, HEARSAY ang scoop mo. come out in the open. challenge ko yan sayo. as far as judging is concerned, we have covered our bases. hindi pwedeng magmaganda ang judge at i-down ang isang candidate by putting a “zero” score. the “lowest” score is such that it cannot bring a candidate down. magaling ang ACLC. the program that they did for the show really saved us time. yun lang.
helo po! its me again, wyvernx0103, well, thanx po sa mga comments ninyo. yung akin lang po, observation lang yun at napatunayan ko na I AM VERY HANDSOME, dahil sa pagpansin n’yo sa comment ko!!!
hahaha…….
C H O W! mga generals!!
@ orman:
di ko po kailangan na magpakita pa sa public! kayo narin po ang nagsabi na hearsay lang ang scoop ko! diba?? so bakit po ba kayo nagagalit sakin? sinabi ko lang naman po yung saloobin ko and this is a free country, di po ba? and yung tungkol sa sinabi ko, well, ang pagkakaalam ko po ay freedom of speech po yun!! at kung may nasaktan man ako o tinamaan, I’M SORRY PO!
@archmykel:
well, all i can say to your comment is that i dont care about this contest and wala po akong bet! kasi tama nman po yung sinabi ninyo na diserving yung top3 winners! eh, ang akin lang po sana sa sunod ay “fair” po sana magbigay ng SCORE yung kukunin nilang mga JUDGES!
@ping cambarijan- waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! ping im sorry to tell this truth!!!! ‘wag ka ng mangarap pa na magsali sa mga beauty contest, kay basi mudagan ang mga tawo, kay nakakita og DAKONG BALYENA! haha…..
@ping cambarijan- tama ka talaga ping sa pagsabi mo na magaganda ang mga nagsali sa miss gensan 2008 pageant. pero parang may mali ka friend…. kasi may nakita akong isang PANGIT sa mga contestant eh! yung naka green gud!!!! hahaha….
JOKE LANG PO!
@kitel- sowi pamangkin…. laglagan na ‘to!
peace tyo ha!!!! pero dapat ‘tel kaw ang miss gensan at di c romarie. di naman sa wala ko bilib kay romarie, pero para sakin ay c kitel dapat ang nanalong miss gensan!
@biboygwapo -
ganyan ka!sympre papaboran mo talaga ako noh..relative gud..pabor2 ka!
hehehehe
@kitel - kitel, you left your crown and sash sa aub.
ormans last blog post..I love…
proud ako sa top three winners natin. they were part of the official delegation ng gensan sa 9th ATOP convention in iloilo. gensan kasi submitted a bid to host the 10th ATOP convention next year. the presence of the ladies helped us win votes from the luzon delegates. feeling artista talaga ang tatlo kasi andaming gustong magpapicture with them. their grace, wit and charm won the day for the generals. we won the bid 110 votes vs. davao’s 58 votes. nung pumasyal kami sa sm iloilo, may mga batang nagpapirma ng autograph sa kanila! mukhang mga artista daw. way to go, ladies! you’ve made gensan proud! keep it up. stay humble. smile!
ormans last blog post..I love…
i hope the 2008 misss gensan is single, haha!
