UEP, LNU crown Mr. and Ms. SCUAA VIII '13

MOMENT OF EXCITEMENT. Mr. UEP and Ms. LNU (In behind of First Runners-up from Ms. UP and Mr. EVSU) exchange a smile knowing that they are this year's Mr. and Ms. SCUAA 2013.

       Striking gentleman from the University of Eastern Philippines and stunning lady from the Leyte Normal University are this year’s titlists of the search for Mr. and Ms. SCUAA Region VIII.

      Nine fetching gentlemen and nine gorgeous ladies graced the center stage of the Tacloban City Convention Center to vie for the crown of this year’s Regional Mr. and Ms. SCUAA 2013, yesterday, October 21, 2013 at 8 pm.

      Prior to the coronation night at the Convention Center was the pre- pageant competition held at the Robinsons mall on October 20, where talent, body and bearing and eloquence of the candidates were pre-judged.

      Choosing the top five of each category was based on the candidates total scores in their exposures on stage, which includes, the festival- inspired production number, swimwear, talent, preliminary Q and A, and the filipiniana-barong-inspired formal wear.

      After the top five in each category were chosen, candidates’ scores were all lowered back to zero, in which the overall wit of the candidates and the way they delivered their thoughts and the message they wanted to convey to the audience and the judges were the basis for declaring the winners.

The winners were as follow:
