Crista Pulo is Ms. Balon Dagupan 2017
TWENTY-two year-old Crista Marie M. Pulo, a registered medical technologist at the City Health Office, was declared the city’s Ms. Balon Dagupan 2017 during the pageant night on December 14 at the city plaza where she bested 14 other candidates.
Pulo, a graduate of Phinma University of Pangasinan, said she was overwhelmed when her name was announced as the Ms. Balon Dagupan 2017.
Ms. Balon Dagupan pageant was the first beauty pageant she joined.
During the Q-and-A portion, Pulo said winning the crown would give her the opportunity to talk to people and share her advocacies and ideas specifically on HIV awareness. “As a practicing medical technologist, I actually test blood to detect if a person has HIV and it is such frustrating that HIV cases here in Pangasinan are arising, she said. “A campaign for HIV awareness would be great,” she added.
Pulo will be formally crowned on December 26 during the Balon Dagupan Gala Night at the city plaza.
She will be crowned along with her royal court, 1st Runner-Up Dorothy Mei P. Pagal and 2nd Runner-Up Lorena Guardiana. Ms. Balon Dagupan 2016 April Ann Ramos Melecio will turn over her crown and scepter to the Pulo.
Pulo also won several minor awards including two major awards, the Ms. Photogenic and Best in Evening Wear while Guardiana clinched the Best in Swimwear award.
Ms. Balon Dagupan 2017 will also receive P40,000 cash prize while the 1st Runner-Up and the 2nd Runner-Up will receive P20,000 and P10,000, respectively. (CIO/JCB)
