CEBU, Philippines - The Talisay City council has commended 17-year-old Keena Mary Anne Sumido for emerging the “Pasigarbo sa Sugbo Festival Queen 2012.”

Vice Mayor Alan Bucao, the council presiding officer, told The Freeman he will sponsor a resolution to congratulate and commend Sumido for besting 18 other candidates in a pageant held August 8 at the Cebu International Convention Center (CICC) in Mandaue City. 

Part of the celebration and highlight of the month-long festivities of the 443rd founding anniversary of the Province of Cebu was the Pasigarbo sa Sugbo Festival Queen 2012. 

“She has shown the Province of Cebu the Talisaynon spirit, exquisiteness, excellence and grace, and made the City of Talisay proud once again. This achievement brings honor and prestige to the city which merits commendation from this august body,” Bucao said in his proposed resolution.

Sumido’s charm, poise, stage presence, and gracefulness in dancing to the City of Talisay Halad Inasal festival jingle gave her the edge. 

“All the long practices, the hard work and the carrying of my (heavy) costume were all worth it,” Sumido said.

Last year, the title was won by Mary Lorens Goyenechea also representing the Halad Inasal Festival.

Kimberly Hanika of the Kagasangan Festival of Moalboal, was first runner-up.

Second runner-up was Jenny-Me Reroma of the Sugat-Kabanhawan Festival of Minglanilla, who also won Miss Friendship.

Sinulog sa Carmen Festival Queen, Pearl Marie Cañeda, grabbed third runner-up honors, and snatched the Best Solo Performer award.

Daisy Rell Lopez of the Panagtagbo Festival of Mandaue City was adjudged fourth runner-up. 

Angie Lee Sanchez of the Kabkaban Festival of Carcar City was voted Miss Photogenic while the Best in Festival Costume honors went to Toledo City’s Hinulawan Festival Queen, garbed in a glittery ball gown accented with lots of gold, rightly representing the mining capital of the province. - THE FREEMAN
