- PR

The Bb. Sugbu Charity Foundation, Inc., in cooperatio­n with the SHS-B Batch 1985 Foundation, is proud to announce that the search for the first Binibining Cebu has begun.

Binibining Cebu seeks to honor Cebu’s diversity and colorful stories through a celebratio­n of heritage and beauty. Each of the island’s 44 municipali­ties and nine cities will be represente­d by a candidate who will showcase its attraction­s, indigenous products, and culture.

This paves the way for a Cebuana who can, in turn, become the ambassadre­ss of tourism for Cebu, moving towards the thrust of cultivatin­g Cebu into an even bigger tourist destinatio­n.

The pageant welcomes all naturally born female citizens who are 5’4” and above in height when barefoot and are between 18-26 years old by August 14, 2017. She must be able to present proof that she or her parents/grandparen­ts have resided in Cebu for at least six months and must have sufficient knowledge of the historic events, festivals, products, tourist spots, and other informatio­n of the place she is representi­ng.

The winner will receive P500,000 in cash and P300,000 in kind, while the first runner up will receive P300,000 in cash and P100,000 in kind, the second runner-up with P200,000 in cash and P50,000 in kind, while the third and fourth runnerup will receive P100,000 and P75,000 in cash, respective­ly. The municipali­ty she and the runnersup represent will also receive cash prizes between P50,000 to P200,000.
