Nature, Miss Earth beauties take center stage at Nuvali
November 9, 2009, 4:01pm
Miss Earth candidates are set to visit Nuvali, Ayala Land’s largest master-eco-community spanning the cities of Sta. Rosa and Calamba in Laguna, for activities that highlight harmony of modern living with nature.
On Tuesday, November 10, the beauties for the Miss Earth pageant will experience that Nuvali has laid out for its residents and visitors within its 1,750-hectare expanse. With an “evoliving” concept, an integrated approach to sustainability, Nuvali provides the international pageant a youthful, fun, yet certainly responsible backdrop – the pageant’s advocacy for the environment which the eco-community shares.
The ladies will take part in a tree-planting activity which is part of Nuvali’s overall tree-planting program that further adds to the community’s ecology. Nuvali is already home to 55 flora species and 76 fauna species.
With a story entitled “The Last Tree,” Miss Cuba will lead a story-telling session to a group of children who are from communities surrounding Nuvali. The children will later receive school supplies and shoes from the Miss Earth pageant through Nuvali’s integrated social responsibility program.
In partnership with National Bookstore, the activity supports and encourages the Grade 1 students and the rest of the community on the virtues of pursuing education.
Other groups sponsoring the activities are Manila Water, Italianni’s restaurant which has a branch at the Solenad retail center and Globe. The latter donated directories which are recycled by Nuvali’s adopted communities to make baskets and which will be presented to the visiting beauties and guests as gifts.
Dr. Myrna Pamplona, school district superintendent, will be among those present to witness the activities. Meann Dy, Ayala Land Senior Vice President, and Jun Bisnar, Ayala Land Vice President and Nuvali General Manager, will present Ayala Land’s experiences on promoting sustainability.
A site tour takes them to the picturesque lake which also serves to harvest rainwater to prevent flooding. Here, they will ride taxi-boats to bring them to Solenad. At the dock, koi-feeding and pleasurable photo opportunities are part of the activities.
At Nuvali, all of Ayala Land’s business units and subsidiaries take active part in shaping the eco-community that helps realize a sustainable future through life modes that have lower carbon footprints. Nuvali hosts the largest double piping system that allows use of recycled water where the use of potable water is not required. It has extensive road networks featuring dedicated bike and pedestrian lanes.

Flying Without Wings
November 9, 2009 · No Comments
If there’s a trend for this trip, it’s them putting us in death-defying situations. We’re usually above ground with no solid landing directly beneath us.
This morning, we went on a tree top adventure and got to experience free-fall rapelling ala Mission Impossible style, sending screams through the tree top canopies. It was scary at first because it truly felt like you were falling with no parachute, but at least for me, nearing the ground it became a lot better and the fear subsided. I really enjoyed it. Then there was the Superman ride which saw 2 girls zip thru the air forwards and backwards. Now, that was super fun. Hahaha. I caught Miss Switzerlands’s and my expressions on video. Haha.
The adrenalin rush was amazing but short-lived. We had to quickly leave for our preliminary swimsuit competition at Lakeshore.
We had no time to spare. The girls from Group 3 rushed to do their own hair and makeup before going on stage. But as is expected, the actual show always seems to pass in the blink of an eye. The judges picked 5 girls and they will be competing with the other 10 girls from Group 1 and 2 to land the title Best in Swimsuit. These girls are: Miss Mexico, Miss Switzerland, Miss Brazil, Miss France and Miss Paraguay.
Most of us are just really glad that the swimsuit competition is finally over because we’ve been so worried that we’d be eating ourselves fat. The hospitality of the people of Iloco Norte has been absolutely amazing. They feed us non-stop! I think we get at least 5 meals a day: breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, snack, dinner.
But we’re back in Manila now and leaving in a couple of hours for another province. I think our group has the best itinerary because we get to explore the lesser seen side of the Philippines. Despite the fatigue, viewing the untouched civilisation and serene beauty of nature is mind-blowing. But let’s not forget the competitions.
Haha. I think it’s funny how we switch from being all road-trippy/girls day out to competition mode in an instant when the time calls for it. But that’s probably the mark of true beauty queens.

A Night to Remember
By Ara Gonzales
A night full of beauty, elegance, glitter, and prestige- that’s how I can describe the pre-pageant long gown competition of Miss Erath 2009 last night November 7, 2009 held at Subic Bay Yacht Club.
There were 26 goddesses of the earth that took the runway by storm as they ramp gracefully wearing their long gown. Here are the complete pictures of the 26 lovely girls.
Miss Brazil is very sweet, she gives me her personal leaflet that promotes her country. She is very tall, beautiful, and her personality is very vibrant.
Miss Paraguay and Guatemala accidentally exchanged their sash but both girls are very polite. Miss Paraguay is beautiful. Her beauty is very prominent.
Picture number one is Miss El Salvador. I actually look for her to take her picture personally for my friend who made her national costume. But when I approach her she is all smiles and she even asks me if I saw her sash. This girl is very friendly and also beautiful up close.
Puerto Rico is also friendly and very beautiful also Tanzania and Nigeria. All in all the girls are friendly and beautiful. So for those who are under estimating these girls, please stop it because they are all beautiful in their own way.
The top 5 placer for this segment are Brazil, Guam, Mexico, Paraguay, and Thailand. Here are more pics. Enjoy and sorry for the grammar lapses.
Beauty sleep apparently isn’t the order of the day in a beauty pageant.
Like Miss Northern Ireland said, “How are we supposed to be beautiful if we’re not gettin’ beauty sleep?!”
Especially if we were gonna be meeting our fans today. Haha. Not that we KNEW about the welcome reception that awaited us. We were told to dress comfortably in jeans and a red Miss Earth top for our flight to Laoag. Emblazoned on the front our mini tops were the words “I am Miss Earth”. As if the green sashes proudly declaring our the pageant and our countries weren’t statement enough. Haha.
Naturally, a bunch of already tall girls pottering about with luggages on tall heels attracts attention. But with the eye-catching red tops and green sashes, we were suddenly celebrities in the local airport.
I cannot even begin to describe the attention we got. We thought the picture taking was crazy at the Manila airport, what with people trying to sneak shots of us as we were eating, but we had only just gotten the least of it.
Laoag took us by storm. Upon touch down at the Laoag International Airport we were so mesmerized by the blue skies and vast lands that the welcome reception for us was ignored. People were waiting for us and there even was a band playing, but truth be told, we did not expect any of it. When our attention was finally drawn to it, we were overwhelmed. Officials came to meet us and we were given traditional sunhats alongside ribbons. Hey, there even was a brochure with our faces printed on it! Haha.
Welcome ribbons donned, the following awesome motorcade was particularly memorable. Riding in the brilliant sun atop open top jeeps and seeing the cheering crowds lining the streets waiting to catch a glimpse of us made it seem as though we were Hollywood celebrities. Not something we were used to. With their mobile phone cameras pointed at us, trying to snap whatever picture they could, it was a reception to remember.
We were whisked away in a blink of an eye to the almost complete convention center for important business: tree planting. It’s not all fun and games boys and girls. We girls are here with a mission and tree planting is one small step we took today in helping to promote our green cause.
But once we got the serious business out of the way, we got to enjoy the native lands. After touring our first destination, Saint Augustine’s church, we exited to a massive crowd of cheering, screaming and delirious “fans” - a stark contrast to the quiet and serene interior of the church. The school going kids wanted pictures. We gave them that and more. Handshakes set them screaming wildly and brought them to the brink of tears. It was like we were Beyonce. With an important and strong environmental message that is.
We also visited the Marcos Mausoleum of the late President Ferdinand R. Marcos, watched how local food Empanada was prepared and toured another church. Wherever we went, the entourage followed. Even when we had some delish local food, the crowd was never too far behind. They peered in through whatever available windows there were, never giving their trigger happy fingers any rest. They waved, grinned and watched every move we made. Even as we were shoving the famous Pinakbet pizza and fried corn kernels down our throats, they were there watching us like a hawk. Haha.
The Ilocos Norte hospitality was amazing; they fed us with too much food. We ate non-stop and ate too much because it’s a waste to let scrumptious food go wasted.
Again I’m typing in the dark as the other girls nod off on the way back to our beautiful resort. We’re staying here in Laoag for 2 days before setting off to another province.
It’s been an amazing and exhilarating day. Wow. We’re so thankful that the beautiful people here are giving us great memories to bring home to our respective countries. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.
