FAITH Añover believes that Binibining Cebu is a pageant that promotes women empowerment.
As one of the 54 candidates, Añover wants to be an emblem of change.
“I have been serious about joining this event not because I am after the crown but rather I see it as an opportunity to change the mentality of
people towards women,” she said.
Añover represents the town of Daanbantayan.
This is the home of Malapascua Island, one of the popular diving sites in Cebu because of the presence of thresher sharks.
For a quick escape from the city, travelers can explore Carnaza Island known for its white sand beach and crystal clear waters. The town also has a world-class resort named Kandaya Resort.
“It is known for its panoramic view and
mesmerizing seascapes. Their people have warm and welcoming smiles for the guests,” she said.
