THE HEAT IS ON – SEARCH FOR THE MUTYA NG COTABATO 2012



The first and final screening for the Mutya ng Cotabato held last May 18, 2012, 2:00pm at the Social Hall of People’s Palace.

From 19 wannabies, it was trimmed down to 8 finalists who are going to vie the crown for the next Mutya ng Cotabato 2012 this coming June 19 at Cotabato Chinese Institute, a night before the Araw ng Cotabato.

This year Mutya ng Cotabato committee would be handed back by the City Government, so expect it to be more exciting and full of surprises.

Below are the list of the 8 finalists of the Mutya ng Cotabato 2012 and photos taken during the screening session with a brief profile from my own source.
