STI students bested Ginoong Balayan

     The seven days event to honor the feast of the Immaculate Concepcion and to celebrate the Balayan town fiesta was highlighted by the 16^th Search for Ginoong Balayan last December 7, 2011. Eighteen barangays cheered and hoped that their representative will be given the title. 

     “Ako po ay nagpapasalamat sa lahat ng sumuporta sa akin, kay God, sa aking pamilya, mga kaibigan, sa aking mga ka-barangay...sa GBAI na nagbigay ng opportunity sa akin na maipakita ang aking talent at personality sa mga tao at maging inspirasyon sa mga   kabataan. Salamat po”, Ven Enrico Elross R. Perey, Ginoong Balayan 2011 said.

     It was indeed a great pride for STI that several candidates for Ginoong Balayan were STI College Balayan students and to top that, Ven Enrico Elross R. Perey, a first year BSBM was awarded Mr. Talent 1^st Runner-Up and Ginoong Balayan 2011. 

     Others also won awards like Clyde Daniel Tan (2^nd yr. DIT) Most Appealing; Jose Rico D. Imbang (4^th yr. BSCoE) bagged 3 awards-Mr. Photogenic, Mr. New Nemar and Best in Swimwear; Adonis Carlo D. Driz (4^th yr. BSCS) Best in Smile and Ginoong Poblacion 2011. The pageant was organized by the Ginoong Balayan Association Inc. (GBAI) headed by its president Ms. Rowena Esguerra and was held at the municipality covered court.
