HOST 2: For us from the tropics, nothing shouts comfort and style like shirt
and shoes in Pastel. To prove my point, let us proceed to the second
competition of the night - the Casual Wear Competition. Together, let us
watch as each of our male contestants try to embody the ease and
confidence of the modern male Catbaloganon. Let us start with Contestant
no.1

Casual Wear Competition

HOST 1: Did you see how fun that was, Host 2? It served as a welcome
interlude before we take a turn towards the more serious segment which is
the Preliminary Interview.
HOST 2: While the two previous competitions have established that our
contestants possess the looks, the build and the bearing of a true Mister
Manaragat, it is during this portion where we are reminded that it takes more
than that to be worthy of this title.
HOST 1: Indeed! The title of Mister Manaragat comes with the responsibility
of taking the lead in protecting, promoting and preserving Catbalogans
environment and culture. And it is through this portion where we ascertain
whether he has the awareness and intellect to take up that task. Therefore,
let us not delay this any further, may we now call on Contestant no. 1

our judges will choose the one who will be given the Eloquence Award and in
