I Am The New “Mr. PICE”

I won! I won!!! Yeah! Last Saturday night, February 21, 2009, the coronation night of “Mr. & Ms. PICE (Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers) was held in Bulacan State University Gym. The pageant started with thrills when me and my fellow candidates had our Production Number.

That's me while introducing myself.

Then, we had our “Theme Attire” (Survivor Safari is our theme). After walking on the stage with our theme attire, we voted someone from the candidates for Mr. & Ms. Congeniality and the concept was originally came from “Survivor” TV Series but we didn’t vote out someone.

Then, the first set of special awards were given. The first batch of special awards were: Mr. & Ms. Close-up Smile, Mr. & Ms. Pond’s and Mr. & Ms. Photogenic. That night, I think, I’m so lucky because all these three special awards for man’s category were awarded to me!

I got all the awards from the first batch of special awards.

After the “Theme Attire”, we dressed up for the formal wear. The formal attire that we wore was sponsored by Mr. Robert Zamora.

Of course, there’s an award for the best candidate for wearing the formal attire nicely. And me with my partner Rhea got this award. O-yeah.

After the formal wear, we had the Question and Answer portion which was the most intense part of the pageant. Hopefully, me and Rhea answered the question, hmm, nicely (for me… )

And when the scores from the ten judges were tabulated, the results were announced. We were blessed that night that’s why we won the pageant. Thanks for the support!!!

Me and my partner won the pageant, Mr. & Ms. PICE 2009!
