The stage is set for one of the most anticipated highlights of the first Ka'aNiYogan Festival and 60th Araw ng Tarragona, as the grand coronation night of Bobay ng Ka'aNiYogan 2026 is scheduled on June 17 at the Plaza de Tarragona, Tarragona, Davao Oriental.
Event organizers emphasized that this beauty pageant goes beyond elegance and tradition, placing purpose, empowerment, and representation of women of Tarragona at its core. This sentiment was echoed by Tarragona Mayor Art Benjie "Kaka" Bulaong, who stated that Bobay ng Ka'aNiYogan is more than a showcase of beauty; it redefines the spotlight by honoring women who embody strength, confidence, and meaningful advocacy for their communities.
The competition brings together 10 candidates, each representing their respective barangay, ready to display not only poise and grace but also character, intelligence, and a deep sense of pride for Tarragona. Candidates come from barangays Cabagayan, Central (Poblacion), Dadong, Jovellar, Limot, Lucatan, Maganda, Ompao, Tomoaong, and Tubaon, who will compete for the coveted crown.
The Local Government of Tarragona released the pageant's coronation night video teaser on Tuesday, June 9, outlining what to expect on June 17. "Beauty becomes more than elegance—representation becomes purpose. The spotlight turns toward these empowered women," the organizers shared, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening.
The mayor invites the public to witness a celebration of empowered womanhood, local culture, and community pride as the stage is prepared, the lights are set, and the municipality honors its modern-day muses. Meanwhile, the presentation and sashing of candidates is scheduled for June 12, featuring festival costume and glam casual wear competitions. Bulaong invites everyone to witness this milestone event of Tarragona.
