BALANGA CITY – This component city on Monday midnight crowned the fairest and most talented from among 10 lovely ladies in the closing of the yearly “Mutya ng Balanga” pageant held at the Plaza Mayor de Balanga.
Candidate No. 6, Ann Barbara Lohfink of Barangay Cupang Proper, was crowned “Mutya ng Balanga 2010”. She is 16 years old and just graduated from high school. She answered brilliantly a question about the environment that she said should be protected and cared for.
The candidates coming from different barangays in the city were in stunning costumes as they joined a production number and introduced themselves to the big audience. In swimsuits and later in long gowns, they presented themselves on the beautifully-adorned stage.
It was not only a night of fashion display but of songs and dances. Physical appearance was not only judged but the following segment was a test of wit for the mostly teenaged girls.
After the elimination round, the remaining five were subjected to different questions. “Kahit isa lang ang boto ko sa milyong-milyong boto mahalaga ito, every vote counts,” a candidate answered when asked what her vote in the coming elections means to her.
Balanga City Mayor Joet Garcia with wife Isabel crowned the new “Mutya”. “May all of you experience what it means to be Mutya ng Balanga,” the mayor told the candidates at the start of the program.
