Miss Cebu, has not only been an event Cebuanos look forward to, but has also been an effective vehicle to establish good international relations especially with countries like Japan, Australia and Korea among others.

 

After 29 years since its inception, the quality of the women has been consistent. Brains come first before beauty because Cebuano is known for being more than just a pretty face. Consistently Miss Cebu has produced national and international beauty queens, world class models and individuals who excel  and stand out in different fields.

Miss Cebu displays all these characteristics in her everyday life both as an individual, with the hope of advancing her career, her personal humanitarian goals, and a woman, seeking to improve the lives of others in her community.
