Contestant #4

I recently had an opportunity to watch a pageant held by an elementary school in a mall located in one of the northern provinces in the Philippines.

Out of the 35 contestants, one girl clad in an “immaculate” costume caught my attention… And she was also holding a religious icon. The color of her dress, which is gold with trimmings of yellow and orange, was amazingly eye-catching among the crowd of contestants.

I went back to my car to get my camera gear and went back hoping that the event was still ongoing… And fortunately, it was. And not losing a second, I took a shot of this stunning “immaculate” girl dressed in gold!
