INDANG, Cavite: With the right blend of smartness and personality, Bicolana morena beauty Angel Brahms Malavega Bernarldez beat other entries to emerge as the Miss Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) Luzon champion in the pageant held Saturday night at the Cavite State University International Convention Center.

A native of the fishing town of Rapu-Rapu, Albay and an ROTC Army cadet, Bernarldez, like the rest of the other contestants, was asked to parade in both regular and parade uniforms, execute military movements like hand salutes, and vie in the usual question-and-answer segment.
