The Bacolod Yuhum Foundation (BYF) is preparing for the sashing ceremony, one of the most anticipated pre-pageant events leading to the Miss Bacolod MassKara 2024 on October 19, a press release from the organization said.
The sashing ceremony will be at 4 p.m. on September 29, at SM City Bacolod. All 15 candidates will be officially presented and sashed, marking the beginning of their journey towards the pageant’s coronation night.
As part of the tradition, the media will play an important role in selecting the candidate who best exemplifies grace, charm, and media savviness. Journalists and other members of the press will take part in a question-and-answer session with the candidates where they will discuss their advocacies.
The media will then evaluate each candidate’s ability to communicate effectively, connect with the public and embody the values of Bacolod City and the MassKara Festival.
Following the Q&A, they will cast their votes to decide who will be awarded the prestigious ‘Darling of the Press’ title.
With strong contenders for this year’s title, the Miss Bacolod MassKara Pageant stands as one of the most anticipated highlights of the world-famous festival. The pageant aims to secure a prominent national crown. It celebrates not only the beauty and intellect of Bacolod’s young women, but also their dedication to social causes and community leadership.
The pageant serves as a platform for the candidates to advocate for meaningful changes and promote the vibrant culture of Bacolod City, the press release concluded.*
