BACOLOR, Pampanga — Twenty-two representations of Kapampangan pulchritude were unveiled in a sashing ceremony and press presentation at the Nuan Farm & Resort here on Nov. 12, officially starting the Mutya Ning Kapampangan 2025 pageant of beauty, intellect, and heritage.
“We celebrate beauty with purpose — the strength, grace, and pride of every Kapampangan woman. This event marks the beginning of their journey to represent the culture, talent, and heritage of our beloved Pampanga,” said board member Fritzie David-Dizon, chairperson of MNK 2025, underscoring the shared vision of Gov. Lilia “Nanay” Pineda and Vice Gov. Dennis “Delta” Pineda to celebrate empowered Kapampangan women and youth who embody beauty, intelligence, and purpose.
Dizon expressed her appreciation to all sponsors, partners, and supporters for making the event possible.
Each candidate graced the stage with elegance and poise, personifying the timeless charm and modern confidence of the Kapampangan woman.
Joining Dizon in the official sashing ceremony were board members Atty. Claire David-Lim, Sajid Eusoof, and Cherry Manalo, provincial tourism officer Mike Castaneda and reigning Mutya Ning Kapampangan Natalya Margarette Lindsay.
During the press presentation, members of the media engaged with the candidates through a question-and-answer segment, offering a glimpse into their advocacies, aspirations, and passion for community service.
