Kuyamis Festival was launched less than a year after Governor Bambi Emano was assumed as governor in Misamis Oriental. As one of the major highlights of the festivity, he created the Miss Kuyamis pageant as a platform through which the promotion of Misamis Oriental is maximized especially on a national scale.

The winner of the pageant serves as the tourism ambassadress, and with that, she gets the opportunity to represent and bring the name of Misamis Oriental. This year, we are delighted that Miss Kuyamis 2018, Ana Monica Tan and Miss Kuyamis 2019, Chella Grace Falconer did great in the national pageants where they represented Misamis Oriental in Miss Philippines Earth and Miss Millennial Philippines.

The trust of Governor Bambi Emano for tourism in Misamis Oriental is partly realized because of the Miss Kuyamis pageant – is most significant pageant of the province has opened doors of opportunities of our young women to reach of becoming beauty queens, and at the same time, contribute to the promotion of Misamis Oriental.
