Bitu-on han Leyte Kasadyaan 2009 candidates
Fiestas in the Philippines are never complete without a beauty contest or some kind of search or competition along similar lines. And Tacloban Fiesta is not wanting of this.
In fact, there are three… oops …five (gasp! let me count them again…) such competitions: Miss Pintados, Miss Tacloban, Bitu-on han Leyte Kasadyaan, Ginoong Leyte Kasadyaan and, last but not the least, Little Miss Tacloban.
The Search for the Bitu-on han Leyte Kasadyaan, however, is not a beauty contest. Organizers dub it as “The Search for the Best Female Lead Dancer” of the participating contingents in the Leyte Pintados-Kasadyaan Festival set for June 27, 2009.
The pageant for the Bitu-on han Leyte Kasadyaan happens tonight at the Kasadyaan Festival Park at 7PM.
Here are this year’s candidates… watch out for them during the grand parade of the Pintados-Kasadyaan Festival tomorrow, June 27.
Candidate No. 1: Ms. Alyssa Myrr Cursame Bertulfo – Pintados Festival (Leyte Normal University)
Candidate No. 2: Ms. Nicole Alessandra Lopez Restituto – Tribu Manangui (Eastern Visayas State University)

The Municipality of Bato in the Province of Leyte has come a long way from being a lowly 5th class municipality and has grown by leaps and bounds owing largely to the concerted efforts among the community members and its leaders.
Under the leadership of Mayor Luis E. Kuizon, Bato has steadily moved forward towards progress, with the guidance of our patron saint, Sr. Sto. Niño.
The town fiesta, which falls on the 25th of January, highlights the Bato Balani Festival – a dance-ritual festival honoring its patron saint. The festival has grown in popularity luring in tourists both local and foreign.
