Limgas na Pangasinan organization launches 2024 pageant

MANILA, Philippines — Pageant chairperson Maan Tuazon-Guico, together with the local chief executives and tourism officers of the local government units (LGUs) represented, formally introduced the 20 candidates for the Limgas na Pangasinan 2024 pageant to members of the media at the ballroom of The Monarch Hotel in Calasiao recently.

"Gov. Ramon Guico III and I have a lot of advocacy here in Pangasinan that will uplift the culture, arts, and tourism sectors of our province, together with the Sangguniang Panlalawigan. Aside from the title of Limgas na Pangasinan World, two other titles are at stake - the Limgas na Pangasinan Mutya and Limgas na Pangasinan Grand. The three title holders will represent the province in the Miss World Philippines, Mutya ng Pilipinas, and Miss Grand Philippines pageants," shared the province's First Lady.

"Limgas na Pangasinan is a pageant that aims to empower women. It is a platform that gives them purpose, teaches them to pursue their respective advocacy, and have the heart to serve the province.

This year, the recipient is the Pototan Elementary School in Binmaley, where students and the school were, finally, given their own source of clean water," she added.
