Today,
Miss Philippines- Earth is the leading and highly participated beauty pageant
here in the Philippines with 48 official candidates. The heat is on as the 48
gorgeous ladies proved their competiveness by outdoing each other with various
semi-events such as talent competitions, swim wear, evening gown and fashion
shows. Our pageant contestants being dubbed as “Beauties for a Cause” have a
lot to prove that they are indeed stewards of mother earth.
Miss Philippines- Earth celebrating its 13th year
of pure Filipina beauty, this year the pageant focuses on water cooperation and
conservation which is in line with United Nations General Assembly’s declaration
of 2013 as International Year of Water Cooperation.
CPI President Ramon Monzon explained, “We have seen the ill
effects of water shortage in other countries and we don’t want that to happen
to the Philippines. For 2013, the Miss Philippines-Earth candidates will
focus their campaign on promoting ways to make clean water accessible to
more people and on how we can preserve our water resources for sustainable
living."
