Who says CITE could only produce geeks? You might have to think twice. Welgin Borres just proved that a CITE student doesn’t just only have the brains but also the looks.

This stunner is a second year student taking up Information Technology. In the recently concluded search for Mr. Cebu City Scholar, Welgin bested other candidates as he bagged 1^st runner up in the event.

Among the contestants from 11 participating colleges, Welgin was the only representative without a partner to walk with on the ramp during the pageant night.

Though Welgin was intimidated that the other contestants have pairs, he did not lose hope of winning the title. In the end, he even won two special awards – Best in Production and Best in Formal Attire.

“… We have different roles in the society, And as a scholar, I could pay them back by working hard on my studies…” he said during the Q and A portion which earned him the nod of the judges.

The event showcased the talents and abilities of Cebu City Scholars during the presentation.

CebuCity mayor Mike Rama  and  other CebuCity officials were present during the event to promote friendship among the scholars.

Welgin is now a trainee in Opiniology and goes to the gym every week to stay in shape.
