Mr. and Ms. Nursing 2011— held at the Epifania Mendoza Velez Memorial Hall on the 19th of August was another highlight of the College of Nursing SBO Exede’s activities.

The program started at 6:00 in the evening; as the venue was already packed with several spectators all set to support their candidates. Thirteen pairs wowed the audience as each one took their catwalks to the stage during the parade of contestants. A closer glimpse of each candidate was offered as they introduced themselves in their sports-inspired outfits, the year and the section they represented with great pride and conviction. The competition heated up when each candidate impressed the crowd as they showcased their “Moves like Jagger” during the very well-rehearsed production number, certainly satisfying our expectations. Indeed, this gave the judges an even more difficult task of narrowing them down to their top 5 favorite pairs.

After the question and answer portion of the Top 5 pairs, the results were announced as Monica Bolofer and Kim Tiu took home the awards for Best Sportswear Male and Female. So close to winning were Adam Canonigo and Michelle Milano as they were awarded 1st runner ups and claiming the title of Mr. Nursing 2011 was Edward Daniel Mortallaof BSN 3. While Ms. Nursing 2011 was awarded to Stacey King of BSN 2.

The champions and 1st runner ups will be representing the College of Nursing during the Mr. and Ms. Intramurals pageant.
