AN INTERVIEW WITH MISS DWCT 1976
1976 was the year I was involved with the selection for MS. DWC-T. I was called by the Dean of the College of Commerce Mrs. Praxedes Lopena and was told that I was chosen to represent our college in the annual search for Miss DWCT. When I told my parents about it, they did not like the idea especially my father, Atty. Sulpicio A. Tinampay. So, I told our Dean that I cannot join. Then, when I came home one night from school, I was surprised to see our Dean Ma'am Lopena ,together with the rest of the faculty members of the College of Commerce, at our house to see my parents and to try convincing them to allow me to join. Consequently, Pa and Ma couldn't say no to them, but with some restrictions on my participation to the contest. I was not allowed to wear tube without strap. So, you will notice I was the only one among the candidates wearing tube with straps.
The school shouldered the cost of of our attire for the final night of the selection of MS. DWC-T Personality. The candidates' gowns, shorts and tube and another set of attire for the night of the final selection of MS. DWC-T Personality.
The Miss DWCT Pageant was held at the time when Martial Law was at its peak after Marcos' declaration.
My question coming from the chairman of Judges:
Q: Are you in favor of lifting up Martial Law NOW. If you are in favor give your reason WHY and if not in favor WHY NOT?
My Answer with no Ahh.ss.. and no OHh.hs. Answer straight to the point was:
NO, I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF LIFTING UP MARTIAL LAW NOW SINCE THE PEOPLE ARE STILL ADJUSTING FROM THE OLD SOCIETY TO THE NEW SOCIETY. WE HAVE TO GIVE TIME FOR THINGS TO SETTLE DOWN. THANK YOU.
