Lori Ocario, first Ati Lin-ay kang Antique candidate

Si Lori Ocario, 17 from Tina, Hamtic is the first Ati candidate of Lin-ay kang Antique. She was candidate number one of LKA 2009. Lori is a student of Advance Central College. There was a second Ati candidate who represented Igbanos, Tobias Fornier - Michelle Ocario. But Lori was the first to register, so that makes her - technically - the first candidate. Throughout the pageant, Lori was relatively more popular than Michelle, perhaps because of her darker skin, curly hair, and sharper features. During the welcome dinner for the candidates hosted by Alex and Marlene at the Pinnacle Suites on April 19, Lori got the attention of the guests by sharing her thoughts about ladderized education offered by her school and for her candid after-dinner speech. At the talent competition on April 22, Lori was among the judges' top choices for her funny monologue. She was a natural performer. I was expecting Lori to be in the top five, if only for sympathy votes for the judges, but she came in ninth of the ten candidates. You could guess who came in tenth. Is Antique ready for a Lin-ay from the indigenous peoples?
