Ms. Sual is Limgas 2014 “Darling of the Press”
LINGAYEN– “Innovative.”
This was the answer of Jacqueline Macatiag when asked to describe herself, which won the hearts of the members of the media during the presentation of the 25 Limgas na Pangasinan 2014 candidates to the press on March 24.
Macatiag, a 22-year-old lass from Sual, impressed the local journalists as she put across her ‘innovative’ self side by side with what she considers the innovations and changes in her hometown.
“Sual is a thriving town…and I’m a very proud Sualinian,” she said.
Macatiag, who was previously crowned Miss Sual in 2011, grew up in London, United Kingdom but comes home to Pangasinan every two years.
“Although I was born in UK, I trace my roots in Bacquioen, Sual. I regularly come home to the Philippines and I love spending vacations in Sual,” she said.
