Sandra Inez Seifert Wins Miss Philippines Earth 2009: A Sweet Revenge
Sandra Inez Seifert wins the right to represent her country, the
Philippines, at the 9th edition of Miss Earth, the third biggest beauty
pageant in the world, sometime in October this year in Manila.
Seifert was crowned last Sunday night. May 10, as Miss
Philippines-Earth 2009 in the Arena Entertainment and Recreational
Center of the People in San Juan City and aired over ABS-CBN Channel 2.
She represented the province of Negros Occidental.
The beauty queen, 24-year old Filipino-German nurse, bested more than 40 candidates.
This is definitely a big victory for Sandra after she was disqualified
last month from the rival beauty pageant that selects Philippines'
representatives to Misses Universe, International and World.
Just two days before the coronation night of Binibining Pilipinas 2009
(Miss Philippines 2009), Sandra was disqualified after she was
discovered to have posed for a men's magazine. In fact, her pictures
that appeared in Maxim (Philippine edition) are not scandalous. She was
just wearing what beauty contestants definitely wear during swimsuit
competitions. The pictures were just made controversial by the
hypocrites of the Binibining Pilipinas.
Indeed, this victory is a sweet revenge for Sandra who is now aiming the title
of Miss Earth 2009. Another Filipina beauty queen, Karla Paula Henry,
is the current titleholder.
Going back to the result of the pageant, aside from Seifert, Grezilda
Adelantar was named Miss Phillipines Eco Tourism; Miss Philippines Fire
is Patricia Marie Tumulak from Quezon City; Miss Philippines Air is
Michelle Martha Braun of Aklan and Miss Philippines Water is Catherin
Loyola of Sydney, Australia.
Miss Philippines Earth is now claimed by many beauty fans as the
biggest beauty pageant in the Philippines drawing around 40 candidates
every year.
The semi-finalists who made to Top 10 are Alexis Go of Manila, Tessa
Kruger of the Filipino community in Canada, Monique Teruelle Manuel of
Bataan, Vanessa Johnson of Pampanga (She is also a semi-finalist of
Binibining Pilipinas 2009) and Kirstie Joan Babor of Alegria.
Miss Earth-Philippines titleholders dedicate their year to promote
environmental projects and to address issues concerning the
environment. The winners also serve as the spokesperson for the Miss
Earth Foundation, the United Nations Environment Programme and other
environmental organizations.
