Introducing the first member of our judging panel for the Search for Gandang Nanay 2026 — none other than our reigning Miss Sirinadya 2026, Ms. Fritzy Loraine Gilbaliga Sadava!
At the young age of 16, she has already shown remarkable excellence in both academics and pageantry. During her childhood years, she actively joined barangay and school pageants, where she gained early experience and confidence on stage. She also participated and carrying her school in various academic competitions such as quiz bee and math challenge events during her elementary years at Tapaz District School, showcasing her intelligence and competitiveness even at a young age. She also served as a student leader in her elementary years, holding a leadership position as a school president.
Her journey started in 2017 when she joined the Search for Miss Tapaz Elementary School, held at Bag-ong Barrio Elementary School. Despite being the youngest among all the candidates, she still managed to secure the title of 2nd Runner-Up. Following this, she continued to shine in her barangay pageants in Abangay, Tapaz, Capiz, earning 2nd Runner-Up in 2019 and proudly achieving 1st Runner-Up in 2020 — clear signs of her growth, confidence, and potential.
In 2020, she once again proved her grace and intelligence as she joined her school’s pageant and was crowned Ms. Abangay Elementary School 2020. She graduated at Abangay Elementary School as a valedictorian, showing excellence both on stage and in academics.
She then pursued her high school education at Tapaz National High School under the Science, Technology, and Engineering class, where she consistently became an academic achiever and also served as a Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG) officer, continuing her leadership journey.
In February 2025, during her Grade 9 year, she joined a school pageant and was crowned Ms. Literary Stellar 2025. She continued to embrace opportunities to grow and represent her community, and in December 2025, she joined a barangay pageant in Taft, Tapaz, Capiz, where she was crowned Ms. Taft 2025.
Her journey reached even greater heights when she represented her community in the municipal pageant during the Sirinadya Festival in January 2026, where she was crowned as Ms. Sirinadya 2026. This achievement reflects not only her beauty and confidence but also her dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence.
Just last month, she completed her junior high school at Tapaz National High School and graduated with honor, completing her academic journey with consistent excellence every year.
Her story is a true inspiration—a perfect blend of beauty, intelligence, leadership, and perseverance.
