CUSTOMS PREGNANT MOTHER CROWNED AS GANDANG BUNTIS 2011

By: Abdullah R. Sirad

Highlight of the recently concluded celebration for the Nutrition Month at the Lyceum of Iligan Foundation, Iligan City was the search for “Gandang Buntis 2011” with real preggy mother as contestants. The contest which portrayed the theme “Isulong ang Breastfeeding: Tama, Sapat at Eksklusibo” was held on July 29, 2011 at the LIF Assessment Office Lobby.  

The crowd were too eager of seeing how a preggy mother looks like as they will walk along the ramp. Yes, here they come... Audience shouts so loudly cheering for their pet as the four mothers walk in a catwalk with a big stomach to the improvised stage. The four pregnant women come out for introduction with their maternity wear. Seemingly conscious about their big belly, mothers still shows confidence as they pose with pride, showing their healthy stomachs and shout out loud for their names and the college they represent.

The second round was the talent showdown. Amazing! Audiences thought these preggy mothers would just recite a poem. Nope, preggy beauties did ala Mariah Carey song number, on-the-spot painting and astoundingly! One of them did a Hawaiian Dance where she had showed steps usually performed by non preggy woman. The questions and answers portion concluded the showdown. 

Luckily, Mrs. Maritess Jumalon, who represented the College of Customs Administration, impressed both the audiences and the judges as she ramp confidently, dance very well and answered questions substantially which finally made her the reigning “Gandang Buntis 2011” of the Lyceum of Iligan Foundation.

All preggy contestants were given unique and wonderful prizes.
