North B Ms. GK Mabuhay Pageant

September 12, 2008 was a red letter day for the Gawad Kalinga (GK) sites of North B Sector of the Couples for Chriast (CFC). This was the day for the pre-pageant Ms. GK Mabuhay contest where the representative for North B will be chosen. The members of the organizing committee were afraid that the contest will not be successful. They feared that there will be few contestants; participation of the Kapitbahayan will be less and the venue for the contest will not be available, affordable and accessible. But all their fears were unfounded. Tickets sales were brisk and demands for more tickets had to be turned down.

On the day itself, the whole place was nearly full and the contest proceeded smoothly, thanks to the great emcee job done by Bro. Terence Grana and Sis. Babsi Cabuquit. The surprise of the night was the talents of the contestants. They came well prepared for the occasion. The evening gown section was the most revealing for the night. If an uninformed spectator saw them, he would not believe that the contestants came from GK sites.

Eventually, as in all contests, someone has to be declared the winner and be the representative of the sector in the Ms. Mabuhay contest. The representative for North B to the Ms. GK Mabuhay pageant is Ms. Cynthia de la Cruz from GK Talanay. But everybody went home all winners that night – for everybody enjoyed the contest, the good fellowship with brothers and sisters and the presence of our Lord in that event that glorified His presence in all our GK sites.
