TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, Philippines — Boholanos are also rejoicing over the victory of Gazini Christiana Ganados who was crowned the 2019 Binibining Pilipinas–Universe on Sunday.

Ganados, who represented Talisay City, Cebu during the 2019 Binibining Pilipinas pageant, received praise and support from Boholanos.

The 23-year-old Ganados traces her roots to Loon town in Bohol province as her mother’s family has relatives on Sandingan Island.

She was crowned Mutya ng Central Visayas Regional PRISAA (Private Schools Athletics Association) 2017 and Miss Bohol 2017 first runner-up — representing Loon town — in July 2017.

Miss Tagbilaran 1987 Fiel Angeli Araoarao-Gabin said it was Ganados’ destiny to win the most coveted crown.

“Given the attributes required of and possessed by a beauty pageant candidate, to become a beauty queen also has something to do with perfect timing, rather than destiny,” Gabin said.

Gabin, who was the chairman of the board of judges during the Mutya ng Central Visayas Regional PRISAA 2017, said that she saw the potential of Ganados when she won the title.

Many Boholanos also claimed her as their own because her grandfather was from Sandingan Island in Loon town.

Ganados was born and raised in Dapitan City, Zamboanga del Norte, but she later moved to Talisay City in Cebu when she was in Grade 6.

A tourism associate graduate from the University of San Jose-Recoletos, Ganados was Miss Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. in 2016.

She also joined Miss World Philippines in 2014.

Some netizens said that the setbacks were signs that she was off to something better, a bigger crown.
