CEBU CITY – The municipality of Dauis emerged as the biggest winner in the fourth edition of Boholana, the premier costume design competition of the province of Bohol.
Jacky Fe Tahakim Melencion stunned in her “Asuncion de Dauis Faithfuls” Boholano costume created by Niño Rey Yugeng on her way to winning the Best Design award.
The competition held on July 5 at the Inabanga Cultural Center featured 14 contestants vying for the Miss Bohol 2025 who showcased ensembles that best represented their town's history, culture, and heritage.
The Asuncion costume, a nod to the town’s patron, also won the Best Photography award, credited to photographer Mac Gaso.
Showcased by candidate Rose Cabando, Talibon’s “Abundayon Talibon” costume placed first runner-up.
The Abundayon costume also won Best Videography conceptualized by Othniel Porsuelo of Pureoffspring Studios.
Presented by Kimberly Giruod, Panglao’s “Hiyas ng Panglao” costume placed second runner-up. The Hiyas costume was designed by Christian Relator.
Participating towns in this year’s Boholana include Mabini, Jagna, Duero, Tagbilaran City, Talibon, Anda, Valencia, Ubay, Buenavista, Getafe, and Guindulman.
The top three winners of the design contest received cash prizes of P50,000, P40,000, and P30,000.
The score obtained from the Boholana competition accounts for 10 percent of the delegate's total score for the pageant's coronation night on July 19 at the Bohol Wisdom School Gymnasium, Tagbilaran City.
The honorary chairwoman of the Miss Bohol pageant, Bohol Rep. Maria Vanessa Aumentado, welcomed guests and congratulated the provincial government and all the committees involved on the event's successful third run.
She thanked all the creatives and significant individuals who participated in the competition and recognized the local government units' efforts for their unwavering support.
Gov. Aris Aumentado, along with provincial board members, local government officials, was on hand to present the certificates to the candidates, winners, and judges.
The Boholana and the upcoming 99th year Miss Bohol pageant are highlights of this year's bigger “Sandugo sa Bohol” celebration.
