REIGNING Miss Lanao del Norte Angel Lou Pates was declared fourth runner-up in the recently concluded Search for Sinulog Festival Queen 2012. The well-attended competition was held at the Abellana National School on Friday. The 20-year-old lead dancer from the capital town of Tubod impressed the judges with her graceful dance moves and poise under pressure, despite being a first-timer in the festival pageant. Pates, a student of MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology taking up B.S. Biology, performed flawlessly with dancers from the Land of Beauty and Bounty during a three minute Sinulog dance routine.
The Festival Queen candidates were also required to do a one-minute solo performance during the competition donning on her festival costume. "I was really overwhelmed with the kind of support that I got from the other members of the contingent and from the officials of our province, especially Gov. Khalid Dimaporo. I will never forget this experience," Pates said.
The Search for Festival Queen 2012 is one of the highlights of the annual celebration of Cebu's Sinulog Festival. A pre-pageant activity was held earlier at SM City North Wing, which included a fashion show of the 14 contestants from Visayas and Mindanao in their ornate festival costumes.
Crowned as this year's Festival Queen is Apriel Smith while her court include Nerissa Modesto from Tanauan, Leyte as fi rst runner- up, Conchitina Cleofe Yu from Alang-alang, Leyte as second runner-up and Shekina Rose Lasola of Dumaguete City as third runner-up. PIA
