ZABAL November 21, 2009, 6:36pm BORACAY â This island paradise, noted for its white sand beaches and clear azure seas, further boosts its fame as the countryâs premier beach destination with the staging of the prestigious Miss Earth 2009 beauty pageant. Beamed across the world by ABS-CBN Channel 2 (TFC) and The Filipino Channel, beauties from 80 countries will vie for the titles Miss Earth, Miss Earth-Air, Miss Earth-Water and Miss Earth-Fire on November 22 at the Boracay Ecovillage Resort and Convention Center in Barangay Yapak. Off the northern tip of Aklan province, the island of Boracay offers unparalleled fine white sand beaches for the Miss Earth delegates but also to millions of tourists from all over the world. In the preliminaries, Evelyne Almasi from Tanzania bagged the Best in National Costume during the Miss Earth 2009 National Costume Competition at the Amazing Philippines Theater in Pasig City on November 4. Miss Puerto Rico Dignelis Jimenez was Miss Psamlstre New Placenta while Miss Guam Maria Luisa Santos received the Pasigandahan Award. On two separate occasions earlier this month, Miss Earth Philippines Sandra Seifert won both the Best in Swimsuit at the Fontana Leisure Park and Casino in Pampanga and the Best in Evening Gown at the PAGCOR Grand Theater in Parañaque. Organizer Carousel Productions, Inc. Executive Vice President Lorraine Schuck said the Miss Earth delegates this year have been spreading the message to live an eco-friendly lifestyle by seriously implementing the 4Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Respect.

| Subject: MR. VITUG'S HOMESTRETCH | |
Author: B [Edit] |
Date Posted: Fri, Nov 20 2009, 22:21:32 AT THE HOMESTRETCH (GROUP 1) by Joseph Vitug Hate to admit that attrition has occurred again in this yearâs Miss Earth pageant, as the number of delegates declined from 85 last year to 80. Despite earlier confirmations, perennial participants Bolivia and Bosnia & Herzegovina failed to show up along with Croatia, Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, Malawi, and Romania. Botswana was disqualified for being too short at 1.51m. Nicaragua had to back out because its candidate encountered visa issues. Vietnamâs representative encountered an injury before competition was about to begin. Other perennials like Finland and Germany didnât even bother to field a representative. However, as the weeks progressed it turns out that the quality of this yearâs delegates prove to be of a highly competitive caliberâthere are a whole slew of worthy contenders vying for the 18 slots in the finals, so a satisfying mix of finalists is going to be extremely likely this year, even as some might lament on a few possible shut-outs. I am optimistic that the attrition will likely be stemmed next year. This time I will organize my homestretch review instead of a straightforward alphabetical manner into alphabetically according to their groupings during the various pre-pageant activities. So without further ado, let us begin with⊠GROUP ONE This group was loaded with major powerhouse contenders. Though the five chosen for the shortlist in the Best in Swimsuit and Best in Evening Gown competitions were worthy choices, I felt there were several others who deserved to be shortlisted alsoâtoo bad they had to limit to five in each competition, and three of those slots were filled by the same favorites. Three of the Cocoa Babes and two of the CrĂšme Confections were among those that were overshadowed by the favorites. Anyway, without further ado, here are the ladies in Group 1: ALBANIA â Suada Saliu. Her gawky pre-arrival photos and then that fright of wildly shocking curls early in her stay may have made fans, wags, and pundits shudder at her being, but as the days wore on, those curls were tamed and she started looking more attractiveâmore akin to, say, âFriendsâ star Lisa Kudrow. She turned out to be surprisingly a worthwhile delegate. AUSTRALIA â Melinda Heffernan. Normally, if you are searching for the best delegate from Oceania, typically fingers would be pointing toward this country. Well, in the real world she would qualify as attractive, but in a stratified milieu like this pageant, she was easily overshadowed by the embarrassment of riches out there. BAHAMAS â Krystal Brown. She may not be one of the Cocoa Babes, but she was among those who placed the Caribbean region at a stratified level in this yearâs pageant. She was a complete package of intelligence, fitness, and attractiveness. CHINA â Yan Xu. There might be a few who might find her cute, but to my eyes, she was probably one of the weakest fielded by this rising pageant powerhouse in any Grand Slam pageant. Her winning a sponsorâs prize (because of the heritage of the owners of the resort) should be consolation enough. COLOMBIA â Alejandra Castillo. Prior to her arrival, pageant pundits barely paid attention to her as some felt that maybe her studio photos were heavily photoshopped as she may not be as impressive as portrayed. But when she finally arrived, it turned out she was a driven, polished, and competitive contender who clearly knew how to make the right impression and was a complete package at a stratified level. She is on line to sustain her countryâs finalist showing in this pageant. CUBA â Jamilette Gaxiola. Her pre-arrival photos may seem that sheâs a classic beauty. But in person, her features were actually a tad more exotic, but she was still undeniably drop-dead gorgeous and beautifulâI saw minor traces of Miss Earth 2003 Dania Prince in her features. Another key standout quality she possessed were her ample bosom, which she often showcased with great aplomb in swimsuit and national costumeâshe is my BB Sweepstakes winner for this yearâs pageant. Her voluptuousness eventually won me over, and her features grew on me that I do foresee she could conceivably land in the Top 8. CZECH REPUBLIC â Tereza Budkova. Because this group was laden with top-tier contenders and the Filipinos were fixated with the Latinas, this drop-dead-gorgeous lass had some difficulty generating much needed buzz within this countryâshe was not short-listed in the swimsuit and gown rounds. But her beauty couldnât be denied, and she does have some passionate support that resulted in her earning the much-deserved Miss Photogenic award. If justice would prevail, she should also sustain the four-years-and-counting semifinals streak this country enjoyed in this pageant. DENMARK â Patricia TjĂžrnelund. Her appearance vis-Ă -vis her name made me recall about some preconceived notions one might have when one hears a very Scandinavian name. For instance, I could recall regarding famous Swedish chef Marcus Samuelsson, chef and co-owner of the New York restaurant Aquavitâone might think he would be tall, Caucasian and blonde, not short, black, and African (heâs Ethiopian adopted by Swedish parents). The same notion may apply to this lady, as instead of blonde and Caucasian, she turned out to be dusky and biracial. She has a gorgeous face, and photos may seem to show she has a trim torso. Unfortunately, she has one glaring flawâher legs were wide and stumpily short in proportion to her upper body. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC â Mariel Garcia. Here is the first member of the Cocoa Babes. Some pundits and fans may have thought that she sometimes projected like a drag queen, but I thought her features still remained undeniably feminine and pretty, and her lean and trim supermodelâs figure deserved to be reckoned with. I had compared her to Miss Universe 2002 contestant Ruth Ocumarez, and I meant it as a compliment, though it may have also raised concerns that even if she was more gorgeous than 2007 semifinalist Themys Febriel, she might end up missing the final cut similar to the highly regarded Ruth. Still keeping my fingers crossed, though. GABON â Marlyne Lea Ayenne. She is an attractive contender from Africa, but this year the Africans were clearly overshadowed by the Caribbean Cocoa Babes. Her memorably moment was her African booty shaking dance during her costume presentation. GEORGIA â Nona Diakonidze. Though there were some pageant pundits who initially found her features a bit too vampish (Cruella de Vil was the usual term employed), I always thought she was gorgeous from the get-go. Besides, those very features tend to be highly favored during pre-judgingâthis was how Bosnia & Herzegovina made the cut in 2004 and 2006âI had been describing the look as âBosnian Vampâ for the past few years now. Because of those features alone, it is highly conceivable that sheâll earn herself a slot in the Top 18. GUADELOUPE â Mary-Ange Seymour. Sheâs trim and attractive and also another one who made the Caribbean region the region to reckon with in this yearâs pageant. HONG KONG â Wang Shan Shan. Well, this lady was better-looking than Miss China, though she seemed to be in the same boat as Miss China in terms of level of sponsor support and preparednessâbut they did seem to be sporting more-than-decent gowns during the Evening Gown Finals event at Casino Filipino. HUNGARY- Korinna Kocsis. I could see how she was able to edge out the two CrĂšme Confections and the three Cocoa Babes in her group to be shortlisted in the Swimsuit Competitionâshe exuded a laid-back beach beauty vibe (sorry, Miss World) with her mass of wavy brunette tresses, trim physique, and tanned complexion. If we based it on looks alone she has the inside track into the Top 18. But I have a major issue with her communication skillsâduring the Press Presentation and National Costume Competition, she spoke as if there was a muffler in her mouthâI donât know if Hungarians who attempt to speak English really sounded like that. If her sash said Bosnia & Herzegovina she wouldâve probably gotten away with it, though she doesnât have the âBosnian Vampâ look the way Miss Georgia has. But letâs give her credit that sheâs the best delegate ever fielded by this country to this pageant. INDONESIA â Nadine Zamira Syarief. Onstage and whenever she opened her mouth, I thought she was a possible upset choice who could conceivably land in the Top 18. She was a polished presence onstage, with an elegantly dignified bearing that was exhibited during the National Costume Competition. But her main asset was her superb communication skillsâher English was not 100% impeccable as I observed a few minor grammatical lapses in her speeches, but it was way stronger than what you would have expected from a typical Indonesian, and she could communicate her commitment to the cause very clearly and effectively. However, in a more casual setting, her looks turned out to be rather ordinary. Could she parlay her stage skills, intelligence, and gab to overcome her disadvantages and make the final cut? ISRAEL â Noy Michaelov. Her facial features were not my cup of tea, but I have to concede she was a polished, worthwhile contender who deserved some credit. JAMAICA â Jenaae Jackson. She actually has all the qualities to make the final cut, as she was the best delegate fielded by this country so far, but amongst the Cocoa Babes, she was the one who didnât seem to know how to capitalize on her bountiful assets (not necessarily physical like Miss Cuba) to its fullest as she tended to be not as assertive as she couldâve been. JAPAN â Tomomi Takada. Itâs coincidental that two ladies who resembled standout non-finalist contenders at the legendary 2002 Miss Universe pageant were pitted in the same group. I had mentioned about Miss Dominican Republicâs resemblance to her countrywoman, Ruth Ocumarez. Now, meet Karen Loren Agustin, but wearing the sash of Japan. Her looks may not be for conventional tastes, but she does strike a fierce presence onstage. For her stage skills, competitive drive, and her lean-and-trim figure, she is arguably the strongest fielded by this country in this pageant. LATVIA â Diana Kubasova. I had mentioned in my âCocoa Babes and CrĂšme Confectionsâ article how I thought she was the blonde who could break the long âBlonde-less Droughtâ in the finals. She has the gorgeousness and the figure to pull it off. Unfortunately, that mantle seemed to have been taken away from her as Miss France just blossomed during the later stages of the competition; no-showing during the Evening Gown Competition finals also doesnât seem to be a good sign. Iâm still keeping the faith as she was simply that beautiful. MARTINIQUE â Pascale Nelide. No special awards nor sponsor prizes that I know of. Iâm baffled why she wasnât getting a lionâs share of attention that she deserved, because she oozed so much charm when she appeared, and her features were simply so stunning in my eyes. Just because she couldnât speak English that well? Well, that didnât stop Murielle Celimene from becoming first runner-up five years ago, right? Of all the underrated gems I have cited in my previous article, this lady would be the one I would be rooting fervently for to succeed. PAKISTAN â Ayesha Gilani. She was the most polished Pakistani representative ever sent to this pageantâI simply adored her splendidly shimmering national costume. And sheâs also great-looking and trim enough to hold her own amidst this formidable field. POLAND â Izabella Wilczek. Most pundits underrated this lady prior to her arrival, but things changed when she landed on our shores as she exuded charisma. She also turned out to be a polished complete package with fierce stage chops that she is turning into one of the Europeans-most-likely in such a cutthroat group. Her dramatic gown presentation at Casino Filipino was one that Iâll remember for a long time. SOUTH AFRICA â Chanel Grantham. Sheâs a tad plainer that what we typically expect from a South African representative, but she does have the gab and personality that was the usual trademark of a South African beauty queen. SPAIN â Alejandra Echevarria. There were pundits who are not into her features, but examining them up closely, she reminded me of a legendary Filipina beauty queenâMiss World 1973 1st runner-up (and shoulda-been winner especially since the winner was dethroned) Evangeline Pascual. She was likewise a stratified complete package of beauty, brains, figure, stage presence, and even environmental commitment. So itâs not surprising how she was shortlisted in both swimsuit and evening gown. I also observed how she (or her handlers) integrated the environmental message in a subtly symbolic way, with the green color of her national costume and evening gown. She is poised to garner an element in this pageant. TONGA â Mary Greatz. First, a welcome debut for this country in this pageant. And considering that the little that I know of this country made me think that they would probably send someone overweight or out-of-shape, here came this trim and attractive lady whose unique feature was that one of her teeth was capped in gold. Sheâs a surprisingly worthwhile contender who clearly was no cellar-dweller. UKRAINE â Karina Golovata. Her facial features may be a tad subtle, but they were undeniably pretty. It was like a refreshing, down-to-earth face. I wouldnât be that surprised if she would bring forth the long-awaited Ukrainian breakthrough in this pageant, though I would wonder on whose expense amongst the Europeans would she garner that slot. VENEZUELA â Jessica Barboza. From her Sambil pictures I sensed that she would be someone to reckon with, and despite the objection of some pundits, I firmly believed she delivered on the expectations in spades. She physically resembled Miss World 2002 finalist and Miss International 2003 winner Goizeder Azua, and despite the lack of an Osmel Souza training background, she managed to be as polished as we expected from representatives from her country. Now, let me trot out my leaderboard and show you how I thought the Group 1 delegates stood. TOP CONTENDERS: SPAIN, VENEZUELA LIKELIEST: COLOMBIA, CUBA, CZECH REPUBLIC, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, GEORGIA, HUNGARY, JAMAICA, LATVIA, MARTINIQUE, POLAND, UKRAINE EXCELLENT: BAHAMAS, PAKISTAN INTELLIGENCE FACTOR: INDONESIA VERY STRONG: GABON, GUADELOUPE, JAPAN STRONG: ALBANIA, AUSTRALIA, DENMARK, ISRAEL, SOUTH AFRICA, TONGA VERY GOOD: HONG KONG GOOD: CHINA AT THE HOMESTRETCH (GROUP 2) by Joseph Vitug GROUP TWO The ladies in Group 2 featured among others one mocha-colored Cocoa Babe, a slew of Asian contenders including one prohibitive front-runner for the crown, a sleeper Mediterranean favorite, the entire Benelux contingent, a super-statuesque African, and two fierce lovelies from North America. The three ladies who arrived too late to make it to the November 4 Press Presentation (and National Costume Competition) likewise were placed in this group. So, let us examine them all, shall we? ARGENTINA â Gisela Menossi. She was a surprisingly stronger-than-expected contender from this country, as her modeling experience helped her make the right impression onstage, and sheâs attractive and trim enough to deservingly keep up with the best. Still a far cry from Miss Earth-Fire 2001 Daniela Stucan eight years ago, though. BELGIUM â Isabel Van Hoof. Well, sheâs attractive, though a bit raw. Considering she kept on sporting wardrobe with low necklines and no cleavage to show for it, I think I should award her the âFlapper Awardâ (this is like the opposite of the âBB Sweepstakes Awardâ). CANADA â Lateesha Ector. Sheâs the first dark-complexioned representative from her country to this pageant. In my opinion, she is arguably even better than Miss Earth 2007 Jessica Trisko, as sheâs great looking, sheâs buffed (sheâs shortlisted in the Swimsuit Competition from her group, remember), sheâs polished, and yes, sheâs an excellent communicator. Efforts on her part to speak our native language even as there was nothing Filipino flowing in her veins would only help her earn extra brownie points. COSTA RICA â Malena Orozco. Besides being one of the late arrivals, one prominent feature about this attractive fair-complexioned lady was her statuesque 6â0â height. Too bad, she couldnât seem to capitalize on her strengths to the max as she could have. ECUADOR â Diana Delgado. She was also another late arrival. She was an attractive dusky Latina who sported a red gown with a humongous train during the Group 2 Evening Gown Competition at Greenbelt 5 in Makati. But she does pale in comparison with the bevy of Latina stunners out there. ENGLAND â Kirsty Nichol. It was a good thing when she arrived that she grew out her bangs and combed it out, as she was more attractive than expected. Still, I found her other colleagues from the British Isles stronger in the face department. Anyway, letâs just hand it to her for being a worthwhile contender. GHANA â Mariam Abdul Rauf. Her figure was not as trim and toned as the majority of the contenders out there, though maybe we should attribute it to African tastes that we may not readily appreciate. Still, sheâs attractive and worthwhile. INDIA â Shriya Kishore. As long as sheâs allowed to strut onstage, she would exude a charismatically glamorous presence. Of course she also has the superb communication skills we expect from representatives of her country, and her figure was trim enough to keep up with the best of them. I did find her very attractive, but admittedly there were prettier faces out thereâMiss Pakistan was prettier. She is still on track of making the final cut but with the quality of this yearâs batch, nothing is for certain though we do need to salute her for being a top-notch contender. ITALY â Luna Isabella Voce. She may not be as slickly polished as other ladies, and her evening gown catwalk was just a tad too simple amidst the luminous standouts out there, but she turned out on the road to becoming one of the possible usurpers to Sandra Seifertâs assumed path to victory. She has a passing resemblance to the official Miss Universe 2002 from Panama, Justine Pasek, crossed with movie star Eva Mendes, and her communication skills were way stronger than most representatives sent by her country to this pageantâand she was savvy enough to convey relevant points in her speeches, as she referred to the calamities of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng (internationally known as Ketsana and Parma respectively) in her environmental messages. An Italian breakthrough seems to be almost assured this time. KENYA â Catherine Muturi. What I remembered most about her was her white costume with feathered headdress as it was memorably un-Kenyan-looking and more Native Americanâin fact I thought it resembled a Walmart/Target/K-Mart version of Cherâs famous âHalf-Breedâ costume. She was an attractive contender, but I donât really foresee her making serious inroads into the finals. KOREA â Yeju Park. Iâve seen prettier Korean contestants, but she possessed several standout edges that she would probably end up being more successful than those Korean beauty queens who were renowned for simply being pretty. First, of course, was her chic bob. Then, there was her savvy and sophisticated catwalk style, and the willingness to be daring unlike your typical conservative Korean girlâjust as exhibited in the Evening Gown Competition finals. Finally, she was also a stronger communicator with a stronger command of English than your typical Korean contestant. LEBANON â Nicole Lichaa Khoury. Letâs just diplomatically say she made me flashback to five years ago, of a girl representing a country that won a special award this year and had fielded much improved and way more successful delegates since then. Her best strategy was clearly to simply enjoy her stay to the fullest. LUXEMBOURG â Theodora Banica. At first glance her pale features in contrast to her dark tresses were viewed as a jarring combination by several pageant fans and pundits. But she turned out to actually be more attractive than expected, though not in serious contention for the finals. MALAYSIA â Madeline Nandu. She was definitely the strongest representative ever fielded by this country to this pageant, as she has a nice pretty face, a trim figure, a polished stage presence, and strong communication skills. She was worthily shortlisted into the Swimsuit Competition finals in her group. I have a feeling that she would need to battle out a Top 18 slot with Mz. India and Korea, and it would not be totally surprising if she ended up edging them out. NETHERLANDS â Sabrina Anijs. During her speeches during the Press Presentation and National Costume Competition, she expressed passion for the cause as her speeches were like urgent calls to take action. Her exotic Dutch/Asian features were likewise very striking, she possessed a lovely trim figure that she showcased with aplomb in her risquĂ© national costume, and she had solid stage skills. Itâs not surprising if she would end up bringing forth a long-awaited Dutch breakthrough, but then again, she has so many other Europeans to contend with. NEW ZEALAND â Catherine Irving. Sheâs simply too plain and raw to be in serious contention for the finals. We have seen much better contenders fielded by this country before. PANAMA â Geraldine Higuera. I found her features a tad too angular and exotic, though I do need to give her credit for having a trim figure, polished presence, and solid stage chopsâshe was grandiosely impressive in her Incan beaded costume during the National Costume Competition. PHILIPPINES â Sandra Inez Seifert. Ever since the back-to-back Venezuelan victory at Miss Universe this year, pageant pundits have been buzzing there might be a similar scenario at this yearâs pageant, with Karla Henry crowning her own countrywoman as her successor. But unlike the polarizing-to-negative reaction several pundits had towards Stefania Fernandez, they would actually welcome this ladyâs victory. She did deliver the goods, and was competing at an expectedly stratified level; so far her performances would indicate that the forecast would be fulfilled, as she ended winning two very important looks-oriented special awards, Best in Swimsuit and Best in Evening Gown. Then, the hubbub over the release of unflattering photos of the crucial pre-judging round (where all delegates were mandated to appear sans makeup) made me recall Stefaniaâs recent visit to Indonesia, where there was a similar flap about one of her appearances sans makeup (she belatedly taped a video addressing that issue recently). And of course, this yearâs pageant would be held in an island resort in Boracay, like the way Miss Universe held it this year at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. Now, I personally wouldnât mind that scenario, but I have a hunch that victory would not be that assured. I would probably guarantee that Sandra would be assured of an elementâitâs just a matter of which one. But to win it all? There were so many awesome ones out there who could conceivably pull off an upset. And there were precedents that just simply because one currently had the edge over the rest, that she could win it all. I could recall 2006 when it was perceived (including myself) that Marianne Puglia got what it took to win it all and make it back-to-back for Venezuelaâshe ended up as Miss Earth-Fire, instead. Then, a year later, her countrywoman, Silvana Santaella won both the swimsuit and evening gown special awards, but she was Miss Earth-Water, not the overall winner. In other words, it is indeed very conceivable Sandra would deservingly win it all, but prospects of that scenario are not as certain as perceived. One final note about the sans-makeup hoopla: remember that she was also subjected to the same process during the local search for Miss Philippines-Earth, and of course she ended up winning it all (and there were some lovely exotic lookers in her batch). So I wouldnât think the prejudging panel would dock her significant points (if any) for her sans-makeup appearance. RUSSIA â Ksenia Podsevatkina. This third latecomer exuded an Eastern European supermodel vibe, like Melania Knauss before she met the Donald and became the 3rd Mrs. Trump. Iâm not certain if the prejudging panel would appreciate such features, though her making the final cut is indeed a conceivable possibility. SERBIA â Dijana Milojkovic. She was a solid and polished contender but I found her facial features a tad too angular for my tastesâbut then again, typical Slavs (including Serbs) shared such features. Wouldâve probably made more serious inroads in a less competitive batch. SLOVAK REPUBLIC â Lea Sindlerova. Facewise, she was among the prettiest, and I originally believed she could conceivably join her Czech colleague into the finals. But then I examined her figure a little more closely and her stage presentations, and I thought her belly was a tad too concave for comfort, though she remained on the trim side (unlike, say, this yearâs Miss Lebanon). Still, I should give her credit for being among the stronger Slovaks fielded in this pageant. SOUTH SUDAN â Mary Aheu Deng Kudum. Of course what everyone noticed about her was her height of 6â5â. Pre-arrival photos made her seem that she resembled supermodel Iman, though it turned out she didnât really possess that supermodelâs bearing and sophistication. Still, sheâs the second strongest African in this yearâs batch, so if they decided to implement a continental representation for this yearâs Top 18, she could conceivably take the 2nd African slot. SWEDEN â Giulia Simone Olsson. Some fans might appreciate her unvarnished girl-next-door features, but to my eyes, she was simply plain and unpolished and definitely not in serious contention for the finals. TURKEY â Gözde Zay. She did have a slender frame of a supermodel, and she was well known for her bangs, but she unfortunately was guilty of being unable to capitalize on her strengths to best effect. For instance, during the Group 2 Evening Gown competition, she sported a simple peach gown that was impeccably designedâunfortunately she walked like an anorexic hunchback in it, and hence could not make any kind of great impression. TURKS & CAICOS â Alison Capron. Let me repeat my sentiments from my Cocoa Babes and CrĂšme Confetions article: this lady was simply the best representative from this country since Miss Universe 1987 semifinalist, Carmelita Ariza. She is a complete package of beauty, brains, and gab. She may not have the sleek wardrobe of her rivals, but she knew how to make the most of what she had. U S A â Amy Diaz. She is arguably the best representative from this country since Miss Earth 2005 finalist (and eventual legendary Survivor contestant) Amanda Kimmel. And Amy has some crucial edges over Amanda, like polished communication skills and competitive drive. She was such a stratified complete package that my Miss Venezuela-loving friend made a bold predictionâhe actually foresaw her winning Miss Earth in lieu of Sandra. He had made several pronouncements that actually came true. Do we have another possible usurper in our midst? Iâm inclined to agree with him on this one WALES â Dominique Dyer. Well, sheâs a pretty and a worthwhile contestant with an inconsistent sparkle that I donât really foresee her landing in the finals. Now that Group 2 is all accounted for, let us see how my leaderboard adds up including Group 1 and 2: TOP CONTENDERS: PHILIPPINES, SPAIN, VENEZUELA POSSIBLE USURPERS: ITALY, U S A LIKELIEST: CANADA, COLOMBIA, CUBA, CZECH REPUBLIC, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, GEORGIA, HUNGARY, INDIA, ITALY, JAMAICA, KOREA, LATVIA, MALAYSIA, MARTINIQUE, NETHERLANDS, POLAND, RUSSIA, SOUTH SUDAN, TURKS & CAICOS, UKRAINE EXCELLENT: BAHAMAS, PAKISTAN, SERBIA, SLOVAK REPUBLIC, WALES INTELLIGENCE FACTOR: INDONESIA VERY STRONG: ARGENTINA, COSTA RICA, ECUADOR, GABON, GUADELOUPE, JAPAN, KENYA, PANAMA STRONG: ALBANIA, AUSTRALIA, DENMARK, ENGLAND, GHANA, ISRAEL, SOUTH AFRICA, TONGA VERY GOOD: BELGIUM, HONG KONG, LUXEMBOURG, NEW ZEALAND, SWEDEN, TURKEY GOOD: CHINA FAIR: LEBANON Check out GLOBALBEAUTIES for Group 3 and Mr. Vitug's forecast ~ http://www.globalbeauties.com/earth/2009/ [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: Fri, Nov 20 2009, 12:53:03 Alison turns heads at Miss Earth pageant TCIâs own Alison Capron has already wowed the judges during the first few rounds of the international Miss Earth pageant. The beaming beauty secured a top 15 position in the swimsuit competition against 80 other svelte lovelies and is confident that she will go on to do her country proud. Twenty-three-year-old Alison is currently in the Philippines as part of a three-week long tour. During her visit she has taken part in numerous charity events, eco drives and fashion shows, not to mention hundreds of photo opportunities. Earlier this week she told the Weekly News that the Philippines is a âbeautiful place with beautiful people.â She added: âI feel honoured to be competing against such beautiful and intelligent girls who are all working for their environmental cause.â While in the picturesque east Asian country Alison has been busy starring in a Robinsonâs Mall fashion tour with the other âbeauties for a causeâ and presenting herself in numerous preliminary rounds of the competition. This week Alison stepped up on stage in Pampanga, Paranaque and Palawan for the finals of the swimsuit, evening gown and talent competitions â results of which are yet to be announced. On Sunday the winner of the pageant will be declared and crowned at the luxurious beach-front Boracay eco village and resort. The exciting show will be televised locally by ABS-CBN Channel 2 and internationally by The Filipino Channel. WIV4 news anchor Alison Capron won the Miss Earth TCI crown at Williams Auditorium in August this year after competing with four other local ladies. âIt felt amazing, like I was in a movie or a dream,â she said, âand it felt really rewarding because we worked so hard.â During her reign as Miss Earth Alison hopes to take part in at least two hands-on environmental projects a month. âI do a lot of environmental reporting with WIV but I donât want to just report, I really want to get involved,â she said.

Date Posted: Thu, Nov 19 2009, 10:50:08 ![]() "Breakfast overlooking a sea so blue." Photo Credit: Miss Earth Singapore 2009 Breath-taking Boracay Valerie Lim, Miss Earth Singapore 2009 November 19, 2009 Weâre in paradise! We arrived last night when the sun was setting and its magnificent rays painted the sky with streaks of pink, orange and red. It was hard not to gawk at such a sight. Whisked away to the Shangri-La Resort for some drinks, we were then stunned by the beauty of the pristine white sand and calm blue sea. Definitely a perfect location for a romantic getaway with that someone special. The architecture and layout of the Shangri-La is spectacular. Newly opened in March, I wanna go back there again soon for a proper holiday! Dinner at Kasbah was one of the best weâve had. Not only did we savour fantastic mutton stew, pita bread with hummus and loads of other goodies, we for once, dined in peace without so much as a fly bugging us. The soft sand beneath our feet coupled with the gentle crashing of waves barely 10m away from our dining area made for a romantic and relaxed place for us girls to hang out after a long day of travelling. Naturally with such a serene scene, we took pictures both in and out of the water. This morning, breakfast overlooked a sea so blue it was as though someone had poured paint into it. Soon we headed out to the amazing greens in our resort Fairways and Bluewater for a photoshoot. Zooming by in our golf buggy, flashes of brilliant red from the hibiscus flower peppered the sidewalks. In the blazing yellow sunlight, we posed for pictures and had a blast getting an uneven tan. Now sitting in the lounge with the wind gently caressing my cheek and playfully messing my hair up, I listen to the soothing sound of the waves while staring out into a black canvas. I am truly awe struck by having experienced the spectrum of colours of our world in a day. But it would be such a pity if we did not take care of our planet Earth now. The beauty that weâve come to know and love so well will not be around for future generations to appreciate and love like we do if we dont start right this moment.
