LINGAYEN, PANGASINAN—Twenty-one (21) equally lovely and witty candidates representing different towns and cities in the province will vie for the prestigious crown of 2024 Limgas na Pangasinan.
For the first time, the 21 official candidates were presented by the Provincial Tourism and Cultural Affairs Office (PTCAO) during the flag-raising ceremony at the Capitol grounds on March 11, followed by a meet and greet with provincial officials at the Urduja House.
Pangasinan First Lady Maan Tuazon-Guico, who is the pageant chairperson, vowed to transform Limgas na Pangasinan to become the mother of all beauty pageants in the province with the help of Aces and Queens, a beauty camp that provides training and coaching to pageant candidates.
“We, Governor Ramon V. Guico III, and I have a lot of advocacies here in Pangasinan that will uplift the culture, arts, and tourism of our province together with the Sangguniang Panlalawigan,” she said.
Aside from the title of Limgas na Pangasinan World, two other titles are at stake: Limgas na Pangasinan Mutya and Limgas na Pangasinan Grand. The three title holders will represent the province in the national pageants: Miss World, Mutya ng Pilipinas, and Miss Grand International.
