Twenty young hopefuls vying for the beauty titles at stake in Limgas Na Pangasinan 2024 were presented to the media last Sunday (March 17) at the stately Monarch Hotel in the town of Calasiao. The pageant aims to showcase the most talented, beautiful and intelligent ladies the province has to offer. Three of them will be crowned queens on April 26 as a highlight of the annual Pista'ý Dayat or Sea Festival celebrations.

The ladies exhibited poise, confidence and charm as they paraded on stage in pristine white cocktail dresses. They were also sashed by their respective local executives. In the question and answer portion with members of the media, they shared the causes they stand for and articulated their insights on issues affecting their respective hometowns and beyond.

Three of them will embark on an exciting journey if they are chosen for the top titles, namely Limgas Na Pangasinan World, Limgas na Pangasinan Mutya and Limgas na Pangasinan Grand. The three title holders will represent the province in national pageants which are Miss World, Mutya ng Pilipinas, and Miss Grand International.

Aside from being crowned, the winners will also be entitled to hefty cash prizes and get the chance to work with three well-known designers. Their local governments will also receive financial grants to support their chosen projects.

"We aim that this pageant will have purpose, will have a heart, and will teach the ladies to have their own purpose through their advocacies. And of course, a heart to serve the province of Pangasinan. We hope that our pageant will show the Philippines, show everyone what Pangasinan is all about," noted the pageant's chairperson and Pangasinan First Lady Maan Tuazon-Guico.

She pointed out that she is closely working with her husband, Gov. Ramon Guico,  on a number of  projects that will "uplift the culture, arts, and tourism of the province. With Limgas na Pangasinan, we have enlisted the help of Aces and Queens, a beauty camp that provides training and coaching to pageant candidates."
