The KDCI Main Campus came alive last July 17, 2026 for the highly awaited Mr. and Ms. Panagtagbo 2026. The special event served as a warm welcome bash for new students, bringing faculty and students together in one big celebration. The crowd filled the venue with loud cheers and immense energy as they rooted for their favorite pairs representing different departments.

 

Seven beautiful pairs of candidates represented their departments in this order: Medical Technology, Radiologic Technology, Senior High School, Psychology, Tourism Management, Nursing, and Pharmacy. The excitement grew even more during the attire segments. First, they wore their neat institutional attire, which was quickly followed by creative Wild West outfits that highlighted their personal styles. Later, they proudly wore their daily Institutional Uniforms, and finished the runway segments by showing off their Clinical and OJT uniforms with great grace and elegance.

 

The competition grew even more exciting as the candidates took the stage for the talent portion, where they entertained the crowd with singing, dancing, and acting.

 

Afterwards, they faced the challenging Question and Answer round, where each candidate had to answer the question on the spot, giving them a chance to prove and show how they would speak as good role models for the school and secure a spot in the Top 3.

 

The crowd went wild as the final results were announced. For the female category, Irish Johnzel Ann Hermoso from the Senior High School Department won 2nd runner-up, and Alyssa Mae Imperial from the Nursing Department took home 1st runner-up. The grand champion title and the crown of Ms. Panagtagbo 2026 went to Jessa Marie Casis of the Tourism Management Department.

 

For the male category, Nashsahid Saylon from the Pharmacy Department won 2nd runner-up, while Xenon Kendrick Jaames Banac from the Nursing Department won 1st runner-up. The ultimate crown and title of Mr. Panagtagbo 2026 was awarded to Jassem Enal of the Radiologic Technology Department. With that, the wonderful night came to a close. The crowd cheered one last time as the new Mr. Panagtagbo 2026 from the Radiologic Technology Department and Ms. Panagtagbo 2026 from the Tourism Management Department took their first walk, ready to lead their school with pride.
