With still days before the Jan. 15 deadline for candidates, the United Filipino Organization\u2019s staging of the Little Miss Pusong Pinoy 2014 already looks promising.<\/p>\n
UFO president Annamae Adaza said that, as of Jan. 7, a total of 12 candidates have already signified their intention of joining the beauty and talent pageant for girls 6-9 years old.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs of now we have 12 candidates but with a lot of inquiries we are expecting more will join. We might also change the venue because we need a bigger place but it still under negotiation, but the date and time is still Feb. 16. It\u2019s a Sunday and good thing the next day Monday is a holiday, President\u2019s Day.\u201d <\/p>\n
The original venue for the event was the Pedro P. Tenorio Multi-Purpose Center in Susupe.<\/p>\n
Adaza reminded those who want to join not to wait for the Jan. 15 deadline. She said UFO will be holding a general meeting and orientation for the Little Miss Pusong Pinoy 2014 today, Jan. 9, 5:30pm at the Saipan Music & Dance Studio in Garapan.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust be there for the general meeting and they can fill up the application on the spot. They just need to bring a copy of their daughter\u2019s birth certificate. Once we have enough candidates then we will stop accepting applications,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Contestants for the Little Miss Pusong Pinoy 2014 will be competing for Best in Talent, Best in Evening Gown, question-and-answer portion, along with some special categories like Darling of the Crowd, Star of the Night, Miss Friendship, and Miss Photogenic.<\/p>\n
