| Brgy. Milibili is Mutya sang Roxas City ‘25

ROXAS CITY, Capiz — Barangay Milibili representative Francesca Joy Bellosillo graces the stage as the new Mutya sang Roxas City 2025, besting candidates across the city.

Bellosillo, a 22 year-old pageant stunner, brought her A-game to the stage, cementing her winning moment as the new title-holder.

In her final Q&A, she believes that the important change the youth of the next generation should do is to listen to their parents as humanity is ‘the best work of life’.

“[...]. I want the youth to understand that listening to their parents is the best thing [that] they can do. Because, at the end of the day, our parents are the very people who want us to succeed, and they want us not only to be better for ourselves, but for our family, for our community. I want them to believe in humanity, because that is the best work of life,” said Bellosillo in her final Q&A.

She became a frontrunner of the pageant, securing the Miss JCI Roxas Makawiwili, Miss Popularity, and Miss Personality awards.

Behind her success, Bellosillo was inspired to join the prestigious pageant because of her cousins’ support throughout the competition.

“What pushed me, really, is ang cousins ko. Although, I don’t have my parents here, physically with me, it’s hard. But, with the support of my cousins, nainspire guid ko mag-join and thankful guid ko sa ila because they really believed in me and they pushed me to join here,” she expressed.

With her hard work, Bellosillo finished her final Q&A with ease, which secured her the title of Mutya sang Roxas City, besting 15 candidates across the whole city.

“It actually feels surreal, pero at the same time, I know that I worked hard for it,” said Bellosillo.

Moreover, Filamerian beauties Charlotte Christine Valgomera and Mariel Raizza Herrera secured a spot in the top 5, winning as Mutya sang Roxas City-Sinadya Festival Incorporated and 2nd Runner-up, respectively.

Joining them in the top 5 were Geraldine Cartujano, Mutya sang Roxas City-Tourism; and Andrea Mae Tengco, Mutya sang Roxas City-1st Runner-Up.

ARAW NI SUPREMO

Sa paggunita sa Araw ni Bonifacio ngayong ika-30 araw ng Nobyembre, inaalala natin si Andres Bonifacio, ang Supremo ng Katipunan, na naglatag ng pundasyon ng kalayaan ng Pilipinas. Siya ang nag-organisa at nagtatag ng Kataastaasan, Kagalanggalangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan (K*K) noong 1892, na siyang nagkaisa sa mga Pilipino sa layuning makamit ang kalayaan sa pamamagitan ng armadong rebolusyon.

Ang kaniyang diwa ng pakikibaka ay patuloy na nagbibigay inspirasyon upang ipaglaban ang karapatan at dignidad ng sambayanan.

Ang diwang ito ay nag-uugnay ngayong araw sa tinaguriang Trillion-Peso Rally sa Capiz, kung saan muling sumisiklab ang kolektibong tinig ng mamamayan—isang paalala na ang lakas ng bayan ay nagmumula sa pagkakaisa at paninindigan.
