I am a City Lawyer but one night I was once “surprisingly” assigned as a Judge. Yes, one night I presided over an exhibition of talents and heated debate of aesthetic finnese among 14 towering beauties slugging it out for the Best in Talent in the search for Miss Lapu-Lapu 2011.
The Lapu-Lapu City Auditorium located adjacent to the city park was filled with ecstasized audience and supporters. The heat was on as each lovely candidates took turns to present their respective evidence to prove that they have what it takes to win the coveted crown. All the drama, dancing and the singing perfomed at their best by the beautiful candidates were pleasurable indulgence that captivated the audience to their loudest cheer for their favorites.
Burdened with the grueling task to be on the lookout for the “uhmmmm” and “wooooooww” factor of each presentations, us judges were as pressured as the contestants. It was never a walk in the park. Picking a winner for a talent show is no fun but serious business. Although the talent is a major part of the overall score, but other factors also come into play such as originality, poise, mannerisms, creativity and others.
