Finally, the result for Ms. Cebu 2010 is already announced in a televised ceremony which concluded this prestigious beauty and brain contest. Ms. Cebu 2010 winners were crowned last January 12, 2010 at Waterfront Hotel and Casino which was also aired at Studio 23.

I am delighted that my two favorite candidates were among the top 5 contestants; Candidate #8: Carole Monique “Blinky” A. De Leon and Candidate #11: Rogelie “Roj” A. Catacutan. These two lovely and beautiful ladies were my bets, the former being an effervescent and effective host of ABS-CBN Sunday show MagTV and the latter being a student of the University of San Jose-Recoletos where I am part time teaching.

Would this be another Ms. Cebu controversy or would this silenced Ms. Cebu detractors?
