On a vast stage with flashing lights and blaring music, 40 beautiful women twirled and pranced in choreographed unison at the Matrix Creation Events Venue. In their gorgeous beach/swim wears, the whole crowd cheered for their bets.
Welcome to yet another beauty pageant, a regular spectacle in the Philippines which often draws crowds by the hundreds.
Just last June 28, Miss Earth Philippines 2019 held its Beach Wear Competition at Diliman, Quezon City. The event was successful, thanks to its partner, the most competitive insurance agency in the Philippines, Connext Holdings. And as another pageant fanatic, I couldn’t miss the opportunity and went there to watch the competition segment live!
Many of us have had the experience of watching bigger competitions like Binibining Pilipinas on television and thought about how much fun it would be to do a pageant. All the girls look so pretty and confident and they get to wear such gorgeous clothes. We fall in love with the fabulous fashion from the adorable opening number outfits to the unbelievably beautiful beach wear. We feel drawn to certain contestants and we become invested in them so much that we want them to win.
Just like how I rooted for Leyte bet, Emily Brumby. She caught my favor when she was constantly smiling despite the obviously straining activities and the pressure from the judges and audience. But I was right with my candidate choice as she won silver place for this round of the pageant. She was behind another Visayan-candidate, gold medalist winner Chelsea Fernandez of Tacloban City.
Now on its 19th year of pageantry, Miss Philippines Earth 2019 will see a new platform of beauty competitions. Spearheaded by the Carousel Productions Inc., the organizationbelieved when it started that beauty queens would be a good and effective advocate of worthy causes.
So to give life to this vision, Carousel Productions Inc. organized and launched in 2001 the MISS PHILIPPINES-EARTH Beauty Pageant, a beauty event whose raison d’etre was to have its candidates and winners actively promote and get involved in the preservation of the environment and the protection of Mother Earth.
Together with the Miss Earth Foundation, Inc., MISS PHILIPPINES-EARTH aims to give a strong emphasis on environmental awareness programs. The five titleholders will serve as the Ambassador to environmental protection campaigns in the country.
MISS PHILIPPINES-EARTH represents the Philippines to one of the biggest international beauty competitions – the MISS EARTH Pageant.
Several sponsors take part to the pageant to make the series of competitions a success. And as mentioned, the competition last Friday night was sponsored by the insurance agency, Connext Holdings.
