During the candidates' press presentation, some of the media practitioners were captivated with the charm, sweet smile, and intelligence of Elaine Manangan of Binalonan.
Manangan, 19, is a nursing student at University of Baguio. She stands 5 feet, 5 and a half inches; with vital statistics 34-25-35. She hails from Barangay Vacante, Binalonan.
She said she joined the Limgas na Pangasinan because it is not just a plain beauty pageant like those she had joined before.
She added that her participation in the beauty pageant does not end with the pageant night, as she has a role or responsibility to help the province in her own simple ways.
Manangan said she was convinced to join the beauty pageant by her friends who had joined in the past. Aside from school beauty contests, she said she had joined Miss Teen Baguio and represented the Northern Luzon to Miss Teen Philippines several years ago.
