LCC Essentials organized the first-ever Miss Rodeo Teen Essentials 2026, featuring 15 candidates who showcased beauty and tradition onstage at the Magallanes Coliseum on April 17, 2026, in celebration of the 30th Rodeo Festival.

Kyla Albao, an alumna of Masbate National Comprehensive High School, representing Barangay Usab, Masbate City, was crowned as the first Miss Rodeo LCC Teen Essentials 2026, also bagging the titles Ms. Penshoppe and Ms. Sassy Colors.

“I believe, as a candidate and a Masbateña, beauty is not seen in physical appearance; it lies from within,” Albao said during the question-and-answer portion.

Aaliyah Nathalie Layman followed as the 1st runner-up, and Riley Christine Tumblod received the title of 2nd runner-up.

Completing the Top 8 finalists were Sweet Ayanna Lim, Charis Celo, Marie Emmiloise Espinosa, Xaime Adelina Serra, and Alyssa Heart Lim.

Furthermore, dominating the pageant roster, 14 of the 15 candidates are alumni or current students of Masbate National Comprehensive High School.

Looking ahead, Albao affirmed that she will continue joining pageants while steadfastly upholding her role and responsibilities as Miss Rodeo Teen Essentials 2026.
