Tagasling (Red Raven) and Dave Mark Sumagaysay (Blue Eagle) were also declared Mister and Miss Tolentine Missosology. SEE TOLENTINE MISSOSOLOGY MISTER AND MISS READS 2013 FINAL LEADERBOARD HERE.
Jeanery believed that “a READS scholar should be someone who is a well maintained and a disciplined student, someone who is empowered and helps empowering fellow students for their betterment, someone who does not always lead because sometimes leaders may become bossy but rather someone who sets as a good example to everyone, And above all someone who is God-fearing and sets God as the center of his life.”
As part of her advocacy as the reigning Miss READS 2013, she would like to promote peace and unity among students. “I would help develop camaraderie among the studentry since we could not deny the fact that faction within classes or groups are always present. We should always bear in mind that we are within one institution, that we maybe in different courses and colleges, but still we are UNO-Rians and we should be one.”
As a short message to her fellow UNO-R READS scholars, she has this to inspire them… “Life is a battlefield. We may encounter lots of problems in our lives. Just persevere. I know that we are born to be brave, to persist in spite of discouragements, hindrances, and impossibilities in life. Just stay strong because God will never let us fall.” More on Jeanery here: http://recoletosdebacolodhistory.blogspot.com/2013/11/mister-and-miss-reads-2013-team-red.html
For him, his most challenging
experience as a READS scholar was when he went through his training in the BIOCHEM
Department. He described, “I need to memorize all the apparatus and equipment,
and other stuffs inside the Lab and of course I need to be skillful on how to
mix chemicals and media for the experiments. It is very challenging on my part
because I am an Accountancy student and dreaming of being a businessman not a
scientist.”
Now that he won as Mister READS 2013, he
would like to advocate helping those who are less fortunate children. He said, “Because
like us, they are experiencing starvation and poverty, so if all of us will
lend a hand to help them, maybe even in just a while we can put a smile on
their face and let them feel that they are loved.”
As a short message to his fellow UNO-R
READS scholars, Dave encourages them not stop dreaming. “Let’s strive hard for
our future and we should always bear in mind that no matter how big the
adversities and obstacles that may hinder on our way, we will never give up. If
we stumble, get up and be counted. We should always believe in ourselves and in
God.” More on Dave here: http://recoletosdebacolodhistory.blogspot.com/2013/11/mister-and-miss-reads-2013-team-blue.html

Tolentine
Missosology Review of Mister and Miss READS 2013 Pageant.
Overall,
the Mister and Miss READS 2013 Pageant was a success with some few things to
learn more and improve.
Pageant
Schedule. The
show was delayed for over an hour. It was supposed to start at 4:00 PM as
scheduled but the show had to begin late because many of the required attendees
(READS scholars) were not yet around. It was later found out that the small
turn-out of READS attendees who were all supposed to be present to support that
activity was at the scheduled NOPSSCEA basketball tournament held at UNO-R gym on
that same day and schedule. Another cause of the delayed was due to technical
problems which the production team had to resolve before starting the show. The
members of the panel of judges, parents, invited guests, pageant fans and your
Tolentine Missosology correspondent had to wait this long in order to see the
gorgeous and handsome candidates competing for the title. We hope to see
improvement on this aspect in the next Mister and Miss READS pageant.

Program. The whole show was very dragging. There
were a lot of lull moments which made the whole show boring, except for the
awarding and crowning moments where everyone looked excited and surprised to see
the winners of minor and major awards. Thanks to the hosts of the show who
really exerted much effort in entertaining the audience with their impromptu
jokes and funny adlibs. We almost forgot that it was almost 9:00 in the evening
when the show ended. The long wait for every segment of the show to start was
really annoying. It seemed that the organizer did not realize that there were
segments (casual, jersey and formal wears) which required more time to prepare.
The worst part of the show was the preliminary interview which was cut short
after the first candidate because the organizer provided one questions for all
the candidates. It would indeed be
unfair to the first candidate to answer first the questions while the others
already had prepared answers when their turns come. Well, after minutes of
fuss, the show went on with new set of questions for each candidates, however,
this time the questions were not that well-constructed which turned out
confusion and difficulty on the candidates. The questions were phrased like an
examination question. The best part of the show was the final question for the
Top 3 male and female candidates wherein the three judges were the ones asking
sensible questions to determine the winner.

Pageant
Segments. All
segments of the show did go well, except for the preliminary interview as
mentioned above. The production number was fantastic, except for some
contestants who did not memorize well their dance steps. The way the costumes
were presented in the final show was better compared to the pre-pageant costume
presentation. The candidates in their elemental costumes were better
appreciated because they were allowed to present themselves on stage with good
lighting effects. The candidates in casual, jersey and formal wears were amazing.
Despite of the meager resources, each team was able to provide good wardrobes
for their respective candidates.

Stage. The stage was a bit crowded.
Tolentine Missosology always insists that the stage must not interfere or get
the limelight from the candidates since they are the most important part of the
show. In a pageant where facial beauty, catwalk and confident personality are
judged, the stage is very critical. It must be simple enough and must not
occupy so much space which can block or limit the movements of the candidates. Simplicity
is beauty.
The
lighting effects were not properly coordinated in every segment of the show. In
fact, there was a part where lights were dimmed that you could not see clearly
the faces of the candidates.
Tolentine
Missosology Rating: 7/10
The
following are some unsolicited recommendations from Tolentine Missosology for the future pageant:
a. Start the pageant punctually as
scheduled.
b. Improve choreography of every segment
to manage stage traffic.
c. Prepare and edit well the interview
questions.
d. Simplify the decorations on stage,
allow more spaces for movement.
e. Plan and coordinate well the program.
f. Synchronize music and lights for every
segment of the show.
g. Prepare good intermission numbers.
h. Don’t hesitate to ask pageant
enthusiast people for help and suggestions.
Tolentine
