Idy Cagas says goodbye to crown

"All in all my reign was superb," says Miss Bohol Sandugo 2012 Idy Caseñas Cagas.

 Idy Cagas' reign ends last night.

A Libra (Oct. 21), Idy stands 5’3”, weighs 101 lbs., measures 34-25-35, and wears small-size shirt and size-5 shoes. She also won Miss CVIRAA 2006, Miss Jagna 2008 and Miss USJR - Caritas 2011 first runner-up).

"I had a wonderful year.. after being crowned, I know that there was more in store," shares Idy. "But what happened during entire reign exceeded my expectations."

Idy was the fifth Jagnaanon to win the Miss Bohol Sandugo title. Other Jagna beauties who brought home the crown were Tiffany Yap (1990), Ma. Recelle Adlaon (1991), Celevel Ranoco (1992) and Fatima Liora Lloren Rana (2003). 

 Idy is revved up for being Miss Bohol Sandugo. She considers 2012 as her most memorable year. 

"I get to meet a lot of people including Senators Escudero and Angara, as well as our very own Governor Edgar Chatto and his beautiful wife Vice-Mayor Pureza Chatto. I was invited to many events. My reign made me felt that i am one of the most favored women in Bohol," says Idy.

After winning Miss Jagna in 2008, she represented her town in Miss Bohol International in 2009 but she didn't make it to the semi-final. Her grandma told her to join Miss Bohol Sandugo but it took years by her friend to convince her to join the pageant.

“I always dreamed to bea beauty queen eversince I was a child, a dream I share with my grandmother. Inever expected my dreams would come to reality,” she says.

As one of Bohol's finest ladies, she becomes an inspiration to those who like the limelight. 

"But the best parts would be being able to draw lessons that has enriched my personhood and the overwhelming feeling some of the young ladies I've met and little girls telling me that they want to be like me and asking for advices. It feels good that you are their inspiration," says Idy.

Idy, a true Boholano beauty queen, always tells it like it is because she’s been there and she’s here to stay.

On a lighter note, a lot of people are asking if Idy has a boyfriend now. In my interview with her last year, Idy admitted that she had no boyfriend. “I don't have a boyfriend.  It's not in my list of priorities as of this time.” As time goes by, her close friends revealed, Idy has found her man. 

"Her posts on Facebook are very clear she has the one. She can't deny it," says by the intrigued VRS.

"Her reign has ended. Idy has no hard time choosing between a boyfriend and Miss Bohol Sandugo crown. She deserves a colorful lovelife," says the socialite VRS, who is likewise excited over the news.
