Pinyahan Festival Queen 2010

The recently concluded Pinyahan Queen pageant at Polomolok's Bgy. Cannery's Pinyahan Festival earned a lot of praises not only by the local community but by visitors of the event near and far. sigh.. so glad! They started off with a showcase of the beauties in a facebook account which you could checkout here. I wouldn't be surprised that at a short time, they were able to have a number of traffic in the site only for the Miss Surfer's Choice award wherein voting was cast by the number of "likes" in the posted photo of the surfer's candidate of choice. These are modern times indeed. =) Enjoy the photos of the candidates in their pineapple inspired costumes below from the lens of Mr. Omar S Gallinero  for Montage Digital Photography, a sponsor of this event.

Truly creative and one of a kind costumes these ladies had in presenting the pineapple. Love, love their costumes!

Another thing I like about this pageant is the way it presented its candidates and the coronation night with class. The organizers definitely did a very good job. It makes me proud that we could do this kind of event that is at par with big pageants in big cities. =) The candidates all came out not only with impressive pineapple costumes but with the same sports wear and gowns.
 
Hats off to the choreographers: Red Carpet Events (made up of Eunezel Marfito, Rogen Eulatec, Rodgiel Delgado, Reynel Calmerin). They did a very good job. Enjoy some of the photos of the event below.
