Lin-ay sang Don Salvador Benedicto
No one can disagree when this future sea stewardess describes her hometown Don Salvador Benedicto as "awesome and pristine".
Trained in maritime education, Frebejean V. Bartolo has all the hearts and minds of her parents Besberando and Alfreda to sharpen her wits and ability by joining this year's Lin-ay pageant.
Her friends, too, in a largely male school VMA Global College stood steadfastly by her in her vie for the crown.
Frebejean, on the other hand, promotes DSB as a beautiful town on top of Negros island.

Lin-ay sang EB Magalona
LA SALLITE Ma. Corazon A. Bilbao got all what it takes to be "Florence Nightingale" - writer, political inclination, gentle heart and a silent taekwondo player.
Like her icon Florence, Corazon is determined to wage "humanitarian war" against diseases, remembering her late father, Air Force Military Officer Florentino
Bilbao who was survived by a loving mom, Nelia.
Corazon has also the heart on journalism. In fact, she's a former editor-in-chief of their school magazine at St. Joseph Academy in E.B Magalona.
And speaking of a beauty contest, Corazon is no stranger as she was already crowed Ms. Valentine 2002 in St. Joseph Academy and Miss Panaosawon in EB
Magalona, the following year.
A validectorian in high school, Corazon wants to maintain this highest honor when she also graduates in college a year from now.
