Miss Cebu, the pageant, became not only an event Cebuanos looked forward to, but also an effective vehicle to establish good relations with countries like Japan, Australia and Korea among others.

Miss Cebu is unique and special. She is goal-oriented, direct and ambitious. She is accomplished in many areas. Furthermore, she is confident, commanding in presence and truly a potential leader by virtue of experience in competition. She is an achiever.

Miss Cebu is a model for other woman. She cares about a woman’s role in society. Moreover, she is a woman sensitive to her environment and caring about the “ challenging issues” facing the world. She works in a defined way toward possible solutions and uses her crown and its accompanying responsibilities to make a difference in the community that has chosen her to be its role model.

Miss Cebu is a leader by virtue of her experiences, is independent and an eloquent communicator.


Miss Cebu is Talented, intelligent and blessed with energy, charisma, expression and health, Miss Cebu is also physically attractive both in face and figure.

Miss Cebu displays all these characteristics in her everyday life both as an individual, with hope of advancing her career, her personal and humanitarian goals, and as a woman, seeking to improve the lives of others in her community.

Started in 1983 by a small group of Cebuanos blessed with foresight, Miss Cebu took on the task of promoting Cebu as a viable alternative tourist destination. This came at a time when the tourism in the Asia Pacific region was at a jumpstart and was an imperative tool for countries to woo inventors to their shores. Cebu’s leaders then understood that this Queen City of the South needed to join the bandowagon and position herself as an island blessed by mother nature with splendid resources that beckoned and nurtured tourism and trade.
