CLEAR VICTORY CSSH’s bet walks away Miss MSU 2025 crown via unanimous decision thru eloquence, grace, personality

by Lynxter Gybriel Leaño

Bringing her purpose, articulacy, and grace onto the stage, the College of Social Sciences and Humanities’ bet Mika Hamajo walked away the 2025 Miss MSU crown through a unanimous decision by the board of judges held at the University Gymnasium, October 11.

Contested by eight representatives including the College of Nursing, Mx. Edgar “Direk Egai” Cadiente, chairman of the board of judges, directly stressed that there was no other winner except Miss CSSH.

“She was always consistent from the very beginning. She has the confluence of grace, personality, purpose and my God, was she eloquent,” Mx. Cardiente said.

Meanwhile, Hamajo stated that winning the MSU crown was a fulfillment for her as this was her eight-year-old dream.

However, winning the crown was not easy as she heavily doubted herself during the preparations.

“Actually, two nights before the pageant, I actually cried my heart out because I really had a lot of doubts. And that if Miss MSU was really for me, those were the challenges,” the political science student stated.

But because of her amazing team she had, she was able to translate towards the constituents—the true heart of an MSU won.

“Because that was always my goal as I joined here, to be able to showcase the experiences and the lived realities of the narratives of MSU. So maybe that's what made the crown on top of my head right now,” Hamajo uttered.

Strengthening VAWC advocacy

The current Miss MSU advocates for anti-violence against women and their children in which she experienced personally how harsh it can be.

“I was once a child, I saw my stepfather beat up my mother and that was something personal that I intended to really put into the stage of Miss MSU,” Hamajo revealed.

In addition, bringing forth her advocacy heals her from what she experienced as a child and that other people can see the safe space that Miss MSU upholds.

“So actually, the main point of our advocacy is with our project VAWC which is Voices in Action for Women and Their Children. It is meant that in order for us to partner up with elementary pupils for them to be able to know what VAWC looks like in the form of an animated video,” she explained.

Furthermore, she hopes that with the help of Miss MSU organization and the administration, her advocacy will turn into reality.

It can be recalled that CSSH claimed their last Miss MSU crown way back in

2019, before the pandemic.
