Miss Heritage delegates to ‘parlay palang in Vincy twang’

The theme of the Scotiabank National Secondary Schools’ Miss Heritage Pageant 2015 is: “Our Colloquial Legacy – Parlay Palang in Vincy Twang.”

A release from the organizers said that the nine chosen delegates will make Ambassadorial and Cultural Wear presentations based on this theme, which focuses on the idiomatic sayings of our forefathers.{{more}}

These local ‘sayings’, which were often times employed by our forefathers, were used as a means of issuing warnings, imparting knowledge or emphasizing valuable life lessons.

According to the release, the Miss Heritage Organization has this year decided to bring these ‘sayings’ to life through their delegates.

At the preliminaries held on June 6, each girl selected the colloquial saying which they will creatively enliven on the night of the National Secondary Schools’ Miss Heritage Pageant 2015.
