Dacel Leah L. Aumentado, Gr.-10 Perseverance, won the title of the first Talisay City Ms. Nutrition last August 29, 2014.

                  Aumentado, who also received the following minor awards: Ms. Save and Smile, Texters’ Choice, Best in Funwear and Best in Talent, won amongst 14 girls.

                  She answered her question confidently, “I shall propose a bill stating that junk foods shall not be allowed in schools. For schools which will not follow shall be liable for complaints of kidney related  diseases. This is to ensure that generation Z, our generation is a healthy generation.”

The crowd went from wild to quiet when she started  to answer then the crowd went wild again after her answer.

                  She said she was nervous but it didn't stop her from pulling off her walk, fun wear, evening gown and most of all her talent and answers.

She, together with Mr. Rommel Alvarez, PE Instructor and talent coach, presented a contemporary dance which was greatly applauded. Aumentado said that one of the coaches of her fellow contenders said, “That’s talent.” “The coaches even started asking my name and from what school I’m from.” she added.

                Alvarez said that she is very much trainable. He also explained that Aumentado’s flexibility and determination are plus factors.

The dance was about a physically abused woman who amidst the beating and insult still went on to love the same man.

         During the casual interview, Aumentado was asked what a picture is since she is a photojournalist. She said (in summary) a picture tells different stories. She also concluded, “This is why they say a picture paints a thousand words.” A loud applause was heard after that.

             Aumentado worked hard during her trainings be it the talent, walk, or the question and answer. “The good thing about Dacel is, she has a goal and she stays in that road focused.” Mrs. Jeanille Cogtas, Adviser and Public Speaking coach, commented.

             The Asianistas, composed of High School students together with some of the High School Faculty and Dr. Francisca T. Kilag (ACT-ISD Principal) stayed on until the end of the competition.

It was a night of the Asianistas as most schools observably have only few supporters left based on the noise they make when the contestants name was called.

               Dr. Kilag expressed how happy  and    proud  she was of      Aumentado during her speeches in school programs. She was also thankful for the support of the students and the faculty (Ms. Floramae Arain, Sir Rommel Alvarez, Ms. Jacqueline Sampaga, Ms. Jeanille B. Cogtas, and Ms. Sheila Ramirez) for being there to support that night.

              Aumentado studied dancing with Sir Rommel Alvarez Summer Class of 2014 at ACT-ISD.
