• MISS EARTH 2005: STEAMING HOT GLOBAL FIESTA -- Joseph Vitug, 04:28:58 10/27/05 Thu
  The world seemed to have set aside its differences momentarily as 80 ambassadresses of beauty and the environment gathered at the UP Theatre on October 23 for the fifth annual Miss Earth pageant. Countries you never had seen action in other pageants were present for this pageant, like Cambodia, Cameroon, Pakistan, Niue Island, and Tokelau. And for very staunchly Islamic countries like Afghanistan, Indonesia, and Pakistan, there was barely a furor over the fact that these ladies were clad in swimsuits—two-piece bikinis at that. Another wonderful development this year is that pageant powerhouses like Russia, Puerto Rico, South Africa, USA, and Venezuela finally sent top-notch world-class delegates, finally reasserting their reputations in this pageant. On top of all these, the standard of the competition is now at a high level that not only is this pageant approaching the stratified levels of Miss Universe and Miss World, but could conceivably outdo them within the next few years. Sure, there was the absence of some speculated front- runners from Antigua & Barbuda (Shermain Jeremy), Belize (Leila Pandy), Costa Rica (Fabiola Salas), Ethiopia (Atetegeb Tesfaye), Spain (two supposed contenders, one backed out because of a scheduling conflict and the other, a much prettier lady, was disqualified for having vulgar photos with her bare boobs front and center), and Trinidad & Tobago (Jenna-Marie Andre), but there were so many outstanding delegates that helps us forget the non- appearance of the aforementioned ladies.
  
  Fans and relatives of the delegates crowd the UP Theatre to witness how this pageant has finally and decisively placed itself on the firmament of the world’s most important pageants in a short span of five years. They responded in kind by generating the liveliest display of crowd support around. A huge contingent representing Chile and Colombia brought a tribal Ati-Atihan style band to cheer for their bets and to celebrate the near-confirmation of Santiago, Chile as the venue for next year’s Miss Earth pageant. You would think the rest of the crowd supporting for other delegates would attempt to drown out the pulsating drumbeats of the Chilean and Colombian contingent with their own shouts and cheers. Instead, something unusual occurred—the others used the Chilean drumbeats as fuel for them to cheer for their own bets, waving their various flags in tune to the driving rhythm. It made for a global fiesta, how the fans cheered for their own delegates in unison with the others without attempting to one-up each other. If only stadium sports events were like this…
  
  The fiesta spirit was sustained by the show itself, as we were treated to a showcase of our local culture. After an opening video sequence featuring the reigning Miss Earth, Priscilla Meirelles, at the scenic vistas of the Banawe Rice Terraces, and the 80 delegates introducing themselves in a blue-screen ABS-CBN studio while looking resplendent in their national costumes, the Bellestar dancers*1 led the 80 delegates to a splashy opening number covering three different regions, starting with a Muslim Moro dance, followed by a Hispanic Maria Clara dance, and finally an Igorot dance. Though this year’s batch was not as renowned for their terpsichorean passion or skill as last year’s, they delivered their dance with lots of flair. The Filipiniana costumes they sported for this opening sequence was almost as grand and colorful as their national costumes that most forgot that there wouldn’t be a national costume parade on finals night (at least the video introduction almost made up for it).
  
  *1 I thought they would choose a more “prestigious” dance troupe, but we have to note that Bellestar had been recruiting dancers to perform genuine cultural shows abroad for years, so the choice turned out to be a good one.
  
  Hosting the event was veteran TV presenter Ariel Ureta and providing color commentary was the host of the “F” show (a local fashion and lifestyle show) Amanda Griffin. Ariel Ureta stepped up his hosting chops to fit more international standards, though he also brought a few dashes of his swinging bachelor image back during his 1970s heyday as he couldn’t keep his mind out of the swimsuit sequences that swiftly followed the opening number.*2 The only glaring flaw in Ariel’s hosting is that Ariel doesn’t know about Spanish naming conventions—the last name on most of these contestants are really the equivalent of our middle names. So he keeping on calling Miss Paraguay “Tania Vargas” when it should’ve been “Tania Dominiczsky.” Though we miss the supremely gorgeous Sarah Meier who co-hosted last year, Amanda did a top-notch job nevertheless, adding youthful energy to the proceedings.
  
  *2 Actually I wouldn’t blame Ariel for leering like a randy teenage schoolboy. Many of these ladies were in excellent shape, and the bikini showcase helped highlight that great quality.
  
  Speaking of the swimsuit sequences, the producers totally streamlined the show, turning it into a briskly-paced, lean-and-mean program. Because we now live in an FHM / Maxim-fixated world, there seems to be an extra emphasis on the swimsuit portions this year. So after the opening number, the 80 delegates then paraded onstage in colored Accel bikinis—some in yellow, some in red, and some in blue. They would all dance to the driving, pounding, percussion music—if this were about a few years ago, I would make serious objections about these ladies being made to do a “swimsuit dance”, but in this more upfront age, it became surprisingly tolerable. It should be noted that probably to assuage objections by authorities in their countries, Misses Afghanistan and Pakistan wore tiny shawls over their bikini bottoms. Similarly modest were Misses Nepal and Tokelau—Miss Tokelau in particular wore the longest white shawl covering her until slightly below the knee. They would stay in this get-up for over 40 minutes as they handed out the special awards and announce the Top 16.
  
  The Top 16 semifinalists would then change into white Accel bikinis and parade with the Bellestar dancers in Muslim attire as the backdrop, the dancers making moves as the semifinalists pass their post. After that, the ladies would be cut to eight where they would then change into locally designed strapless gowns, and would then be subjected to a Q&A round with questions being asked by famous Filipinos, mostly those who have some international achievement. The eight finalists would then parade again in an evening gown of their own choosing, accompanied by the Hail Mary the Queen children’s choir singing a medley of Filipino love songs—three of them wore different gowns from the ones they wore during the evening gown competition at the Casino Filipino near the airport. Then, eight would be cut into four where they would be asked a final question and then the final decision would be made.
  
  In between the sequences, they would present videoclips of the activities that the Miss Earth delegates did during their three-and-a-half week stay, emphasizing the tree-planting and cleanup activities they performed. The presentation of the prizes for the winners should also be noted and commended for being rather tasteful—no silly gimmicks promoting other ABS-CBN shows, but rather presenting the prizes as Priscilla was interacting with the natives at the Banawe Rice Terraces. It was framed as a dream sequence where Priscilla thought she lost her crown, but a Cordillera kid came over to give the crown to her.
  
  The show was very smoothly run, but there were a couple of glitches that occurred, both involving a Miss Earth delegate. First, in the swimsuit number, Miss Malaysia tripped and fell. Secondly, Miss Samoa fainted during the announcement of the finalists. In both cases, though, they recovered quickly enough to carry on.
  
  Now, let’s go to the delegates themselves. I’ll mention two non-finalists who at least had the consolation of winning special awards:
  
  CANADA – Katherine McClure. She won Miss Friendship. Unlike in years past, ABS-CBN decided to eschew the video gimmick when they gave out this award and simply announced it like they would the other awards. Katherine then demonstrated the very qualities that made her win this award after the announcement of the semifinalists, as she spontaneously ran over to Miss Czech Republic to give her a hug and to congratulate her for making the cut.
  
  UKRAINE – Yevgeniya Rudenko. This stage dynamo was a shocking shut-out. At least she got the consolation of winning Miss Talent with her sizzling hot dance number. Some insiders have mentioned there might be a key reason why Jane was excluded—there reportedly was an incident involving a key sponsor to this pageant (a well regarded name in the local beauty industry) where she rubbed this VIP the wrong way as she didn’t recognize this VIP (who was reportedly even a fan of this contestant) from the way this VIP dresses as he wears not-so-sophisticated fashions and has an unassuming demeanor. She reportedly assumed he was one of the “lowly” staff. Wonder what would’ve happened if that incident didn’t occur—would she have gotten an element? Anyway, after she wasn’t selected she decided to depart with a lot of flair—she stayed behind onstage after everyone had left, shook her booty, walked towards the center stage, then departed through the center steps, with one extra booty shake before she disappeared. But backstage, she was reportedly almost inconsolable at her loss, that some members of the audience saw tracks of her tears when she emerged back (albeit smiling) onstage for the final announcement of winners. Reportedly during the after-pageant celebration at the Hyatt, Miss Canada even gave Jane a heart-to-heart talk and comforted her by telling her not to take the loss too hard as she has so many other sterling qualities. I definitely agree with Katherine on that.
  
  In fact, there were so many other ladies with sterling qualities who failed to make the cut. This is one of those years where you have a wonderful group of semifinalists, yet you also have some truly worthy choices who were shut out. I have cited all of them in my homestretch review, that it would be redundant for me to mention them again.
  
  Next: The 16 Semifinalists...
  
  Natural beauty products, organic ingredients, skincare for sensitive skins. Unique body, skin, hair & cosmetics, certified to organic food standards. Natural Beauty Products, SLS Free, 100% Pure Skin Care.
  Natural Mineral makeup, cosmetics & beauty, makeup beauty brands, rock fossils & minerals, makeup superstore, super cool makeup, glamour fantasy luster & glitz, Colorescience mineral makeup, SPF protection.
  Youthful skin, healthy glowing skin, secrets to youthful skin, how to be forever young. Young, youthful skin. Skin whitening, skin tanning. Skin laser treatment, treat acne. Make your skin super soft, youthful skin. Heal scars and marks, professional blemish removal, remove scars, wipe out your scars.
  
  Before I proceed to write about the 16 semifinalists, I would like to first tell you who the judges at the finals were. They constituted a mix of socialites, sponsors, and the return of the very first Miss Earth, as follows: singer/stage actor Leo Valdez; socialite Baroness Eva Abesamis de Koenigswater; Chilean actress Raquel Arrendonia; Gulf Air CEO James Hogan; Miss Earth 2001 Catharina Svensson; Hyatt Hotel Marketing Director Eugene Tamesis; fashion maverick and Philippine Daily Inquirer columnist Tessa Prieto-Valdez; Unilever Managing Director for Home and Personal Care Noel Lorenzana; educator and social entrepreneur Vivienne Tan; and socialite Rosemarie Baby Arenas. I had to mention them because this combination plays a crucial criteria on how the semifinal swimsuit round was judged. It’s actually a very difficult competition to judge as you have to consider facial beauty, stage presence, and figure. This year’s batch of 16 semifinalists have considerable strengths in at least two of the three criteria, and so you wonder what would the judges prioritize. If we look at the final results, they do like a balance of facial beauty, stage presence, and figure, but with figure having a slightly higher priority. If Oxana Fedorova were to parade in front of these judges, I don’t think she’ll get that stratospheric 9.88 swimsuit score she got at the 2002 Miss Universe pageant—more like a 9.4 or 9.5, I bet. With that in mind, allow me to now showcase the 16 semifinalists of this year’s Miss Earth pageant, starting with:
  
  BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA – Sanja Susnja. She is undeniably very pretty and she does have a good enough figure that she won over the preliminary panel. I was slightly surprised that she made the cut as she tended to be a little low-key in her public appearances that even if I do appreciate her beauty I thought she wasn’t as much in serious contention as the others. Still, at least we know that Carousel doesn’t have that much of a gripe against this country over Dzejla Glavovic the way some speculated the Miss World organization has against Germany over Gabriela Brum, that they would let her make the cut. Sanja wasn’t as vibrant onstage as the others that’s why I mentioned her first on this list, but still for her to hurdle such an extremely competitive group is a major achievement worth celebrating.
  
  TANZANIA – Rehema Sudi. Thanks to her undeniably gorgeous face and beautiful ebony complexion, Rehema brought forth the Tanzanian breakthrough, becoming the first Tanzanian ever to make the finals in any of the four Grand Slam pageants ever. Her figure is very African (a voluptuous middle) and she is also a tad low-key in her catwalk, but her long legs and glowing complexion, not to mention her utterly beautiful face, helped her keep up with the best ones out there.
  
  EL SALVADOR – Irma Dimas. Irma brought forth the El Salvadorian breakthrough in this pageant, impressing everyone with her very pretty face. She is like the replacement of Peru’s Sara Paredes in the “voluptuous” figure department, since she shared a bit of Sara’s stage chops as she exuded a significant amount of “salero” in her swimsuit presentation. I have to say I have underestimated her as even if I know she has a pretty face and a sweet and sympathetic personality, I discounted her for her figure. I suppose with the prejudging panel, they gave such a high score for her pretty face and sweet personality that it was enough for her to make the cut.
  
  PHILIPPINES – Genebelle Raagas. Some pageant wags (oddly enough, mainly Filipino) would say that this lady is unworthy of landing a slot in the finals over many outstanding ladies in this group. Having witnessed her performances in various competitions, I say there is some merit in her semifinalist slot as she kept up with the best of them very well. The same should be said about her swimsuit performance this evening, as she showcased a fighting trim lean figure well proportioned to her statuesque 5’10” frame.
  
  CZECH REPUBLIC – Zuzana Stepanovska. I’m glad that even if Zuzana didn’t garner enough buzz or publicity from the press or from the pre-pageant activities, that the judging panel noticed that virtues I saw in her and gave her a semifinalist slot. In a less competitive year, she could probably even advance further to the Top Eight or even Top Four, but well, this year there were so many gems that landing this far is already achievement enough.
  
  ECUADOR – Cristina Reyes. In the swimsuit round, this lady could not be denied, with her va-va-voom figure (among the Top 16, she earns the BB Sweepstakes award) and very spicy stage presence. I thought that she could even sneak in the Top Eight, where she would then pull off an upset by advancing further with her strong communication skills. But I do know why despite her awesome figure and undeniable stage presence she didn’t advance beyond this round—her face is too strong for this panel’s taste.
  
  KOREA – Yu Hae-Mae. It has been ten years since Korea made the cut in a Grand Slam pageant besides Miss International. This lady is very special as she displayed a lot more personality than most Korean beauty queens before her, and she is reportedly also a great interview. Of course she has the sterling stage presence that made her win the Best in National Costume award (over the extremely elaborate costume of Miss Honduras), plus the beauty and the luminous complexion that made Ponds select her as among their five “Youthful Beauty” awardees. If the panel judging this year’s batch of delegates was the same panel as the Miss Universe 2002 panel, they would’ve made her advance to the Top Eight. But to the actual panel judging this year, her figure most likely fell short that her stage chops and luminous beauty were not enough to allow her to advance further.
  
  RUSSIA – Tatiana Yamova. I was surprised that Tatiana failed to advance further, considering she has an undeniably pretty face and outstanding stage presence. She’s another one who could’ve gone all the way into the Top Four if she was allowed to advance further. But apparently the judges thought her figure fell short of making beyond the Top 16, hence she was left out. Well, at least she could go home with the fact that she made so many fans here in this country and that she was the favorite of many to win it all. Also, she was also the first Russian finalist in this pageant.
  
  The Top Eight shared one thing in common—lean, buffed hourglass figures. It was a slightly surprising group considering that Russia, Korea, and especially Ukraine failed to advance this far, but each lady in this group is actually truly worthy of belonging here. These eight ladies were subjected to two competitions—the interview and the evening gown competitions. Without further ado, let’s start with…
  
  CHILE – Nataly Chilet. Nataly one-upped Nazhla Abad’s showing three years ago by being at least two notches higher than her, making it as far as she did with her body for sin, very attractive mestiza face, and spicy stage presentation skills. She was asked by actor Piolo Pascual about which celebrity she wanted to rule the earth. Nataly answered Mahatma Gandhi because he cares about other people, cited a motto of his about having to be the person to change the world. It’s an okay, but rather cliché answer. In the evening gown round, Nataly changed into a white gown that looked very similar to Natalie Glebova’s winning gown at Miss Universe. She ain’t no Natalie Glebova, but she did worked the gown with aplomb. Nataly’s also a surprise winner for Miss Photogenic.
  
  U S A – Amanda Kimmel. After a string of subpar competitors, Amanda brought the US back into prominence with her striking looks and awesome figure. She was asked by 2004 International Public Speaking champion Patricia Evangelista about what she wants to tell the youth about their future. Amanda answered that it is important to teach environment education to the youth, and she then advised the youth to never give up on their dreams and make it possible. She then closed by addressing the audience with “Mahal ko kayo” (I love you). There were pageant fans who said that her answer was the best of this group. I beg to differ and thought her answer was a tad cliché and she didn’t really answer the question. Some wags also said that she won’t be wearing the same evening gown for the finals—but she ended up wearing the black velvet gown with sequined accents again. It isn’t a bad thing because she looked wonderful in it anyway.
  
  PUERTO RICO – Vanessa de Roide. Thanks to Vanessa’s gorgeous features and polished stage presence, Puerto Rico has finally made the cut in this pageant—and with a major splash. Besides becoming a Top Eight finalist, Vanessa likewise was selected as among the five Ponds “Youthful Beauty” awardees and won best in long gown. 2005 International Performing Arts competition champion Jed Madela asked what issue she would espouse if she wins the crown. Vanessa mentioned about educating the youth and others about conserving our environment, and she closed with a Tagalog message: “Matutong magingat sa ating kalikasan” (“Let’s learn to take care of our environment”). It was an adequate answer, but perhaps not strong enough for her to advance further. She wore the very clean white low-cut dress that made her win the best in evening gown award, and of course she continued to impress in that number.
  
  PARAGUAY – Tania Dominiczsky. Though a friend of mine had quibbles about Tania’s figure, that her legs seemed too short, I thought she was in perfect shape, with a perfect hourglass torso. Her experience in various pageants (including a win at Reina Sudamericana) served her well here, and she makes a very polished presence throughout. In the Q&A round, she was asked by boxing champ Manny Pacquiao about how can one be a true champion in conserving the environment. Tania gave a well-composed answer about how a champion is someone with a strong spirit, who wants things for the goodwill of others, including respecting “animals, plants, and minerals”. If they were judged by Q&A alone, Tania could have conceivably advanced to the final Four. But, even if she looked sexy in her sheer lacy white evening gown (that she wore at Maja Mundial last year, where she competed against Ma- An Bayot and Natalie Glebova and landed a runner-up spot), it was arguably the weakest in the Top Eight, so she might have been prevented from advancing because of the gown. Still, it’s a major achievement that Tania was able to sustain Yanina’s precedent (it should also be noted that Tania was runner-up to Yanina in their national pageant—this country is starting to garner quality delegates lately).
  
  Finally, we go to the Top Four. Though there was a surprise in this group, this is another superb quality, highly deserving, and babelicious bunch. The results are unquestionable. I have to say that the final question—“If you are ton save only one of two elements, water or air, which would you choose and why?” was a slightly touchy and challenging question to answer. It’s hard for Without further ado, let’s proceed…
  
  MISS EARTH-FIRE: SERBIA & MONTENEGRO – Jovana Marjanovic. Though Jovana impresses with her stunning figure, pretty face, and tanned complexion, very few pundits thought she could advance beyond the Top 16. It’s a good thing she won over the panel with her lean curves, and then because she was struggling without an interpreter (though the Spanish interpreter attempted to make the question simpler for her), she charmed the panel with her heroic effort to express herself in English, thus gaining herself a ticket to the Top Four. During the Top Eight round, she was asked by actress and environmental activist Chin-Chin Gutierrez about how can a beautiful woman make a difference in the world. Jovana answered in halting English that beauty has to be respected, and with that respect, it could bring positive things and then bring about change. For the gown round, Jovana wore the same sexy shiny white gown she wore at Casino Filipino—a tad too haute couture for the solemn, romantic mood evoked by the children’s choir, but still good enough for her to remain in the Top Four. For the final question, Miss Macedonia come forward to volunteer as translator. Jovana answered that God made human beings and everything comes from him and from water, so we have to respect and save water. Unlike the two other runners-up who chose both, she at least made a choice—too bad it wasn’t reasoned out as well that she could only garner fourth. Nevertheless, she sustained the awesome track record this country had in this pageant, landing the finals in three of its four appearances.
  
  MISS EARTH-WATER: POLAND – Katarzyna Borowicz. This lady has been constantly among the front-runners from the get-go, and she delivered the goods during the finals—yes, she benefited from the help of the Polish translator who helped unlock some gray matter that was absent during her Miss World stint. She was selected as one of Pond’s five “Youthful Beauty” awardees. Anyway, she was asked by singer Sarah Geronimo about if she were to write a song, what message will it convey. Katarzyna answered that her theme would be never forgetting Mother earth, that living on earth we are not alone, that we should work together to preserve our planet for the sake of our children. During the gown round, Katarzyna emerged in that rainbow- colored gown she wore when she relinquished her Miss Polonia crown. It was too sexy and avant-garde for the mood evoked by the children’s choir—it deserved more like supermodel runway music—but well, she carried it so well anyway. During the final round, she actually gave the worst answer in this group, as she incoherently explained why she has to choose both. But well, her gorgeousness could not be denied, that’s why she outranked Jovana and bring Poland its best showing so far. It’s a three-year winning streak for this country so far—could they sustain it next year? We’ll see…
  
  MISS EARTH-AIR: DOMINICAN REPUBLIC – Amell Santana. I’m glad this lady delivered the goods when it counted, bringing forth not only a Dominican breakthrough to this pageant, but made it a four-peat for this country in terms of Top Three finishes in the Grand Slam pageants (ironically, the lady who beat Amell at her national pageant, Renata Soñe, ranked the lowest at a “mere” 2nd runner-up at Miss Universe). She joined Claudia Cruz and Yadira Geara Cury as 1st runner-up in a span for less than a year. Amell’s statuesque 6’1” stature and pretty face (in some ways, she is like a black Renata Soñe) were just too undeniable. She earned a special award as one of Ponds’ “Youthful Beauty” awardees. She was asked by Miss International 1979 Melanie Marquez about when she wakes up tomorrow, what she would want to disappear. To be honest, I thought she gave a weak answer as she didn’t really answer it, but perhaps the judges took into consideration that Melanie didn’t really ask her question that clearly so that’s why they gave Amell the benefit of the doubt. Amell answered by saying she wants to wake up in the Philippines representing its wonderful people and that she hopes we could all become more conscious about taking care of the Earth. I suppose she made up for her weak answer by wearing a red-and-purple number with bare side panels. She looked elegant in it, and that probably offset her weak Q&A. In the final question, she gave an “incorrect” answer by saying “both, because we cannot have one without the other and we need both elements to live.” But I suppose her simple point and the conviction of her answer made the judges give her another benefit of the doubt that’s why she became 1st runner-up.
  
  MISS EARTH 2005: VENEZUELA – Alexandra Braun. I knew she was a front-runner from the get-go, though I thought there would be a serious challenge from the likes of Mz. Russia, Ukraine, Korea, Poland, etc. But it seems that as the finals wore on, she simply dominated the competition. She won both the Best in Swimsuit award (though I thought she should’ve won Best in Gown, and someone else for swimsuit, but this was still a well-earned award) and the Ponds “Youthful Beauty” award. With her elegantly polished stage skills and well-proportioned figure, she was a shoo-in for the Top Eight in the swimsuit competition. Then, when asked by philanthropist Tony Melobo about why there is so much child abuse, she gave a strong answer that there was not enough tolerance, and with lack of tolerance there is ignorance, and that the best way to solve this problem is to educate people so children would have a better future. Of course in the gown round she wore that red satin ballgown that was truly peerless in its elegance, so she again dominated the Top Eight. Finally, she gave a simple answer to the final question: she chooses air because it is what gives us life and what we breathe, though she also acknowledged that the other elements were also essential. With that, most pageant fans can’t help but scream out “VENEZUELA!!!!!” With the likes of Russia and Korea out of the way, it turned out to be an easy victory for this charming and “cariñosa” lady. Not only has Venezuela finally stamped its presence in this pageant, it made its presence felt in a very big way. Now, will Osmel begin sending winners to this pageant too? This pageant definitely should not be ignored.
  
  It will be exciting to see how Santiago, Chile would be able to sustain the sudden growth this pageant has exhibited this year. It was wonderful for me to witness how Miss Earth developed from its infancy into this major event. I’m not sure if I’ll be physically present next year when it moves to another country, but I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled on how this pageant will unfold next year. Will there be a deal with Univision or Telemundo for the pan-Latin market the way there is a Star World deal for Asia? I hope so…

• Miss Earth 2005 Thoughts -- Alex Sarmiento, 04:20:20 10/27/05 Thu
  A year after Brazil's Priscila Meirelles de Almeida won Miss Earth and thus made her country the first to win all four major crowns at least once, Venezuela matches (nay, exceeds) that achievement.
  
  Alexandra Braun Waldeck, 4th in the Miss Venezuela finals won by Miss Universe-bound Jictzad Vina Carreno, not only placed (a first for Venezuela at Miss Earth) but won the whole thing. This gives her country an unprecedented 14th major crown, to go with the four Miss Universe/five Miss World/ four Miss International triumphs. Though she was sent to Miss Earth by a different organization, Alexandra's triumph will likely prompt Osmel Souza to acquire the franchise in the future. After a disastrous 2004, it is great to see the Venezuela pageant system back in the saddle.
  
  Silver-medalist Amell Santana bested the MU rank of the woman who beat her for the Miss DR Universe crown, Renata de Jesus Sone Savery. This is the first time (correct me if I'm wrong) in some time that a country has placed in the top three in four consecutive majors (Claudia Cruz Rodriguez 2nd at MW 04, Renata 3rd at MU 05, Yadira Geara Cury 2nd at MI 05, and Amell 2nd at MU 05). The pressure is now on Elisa Abreu de los Santos to not only place at Miss World, but to possibly take the crown.
  
  Poland's Katarzyna Borowicz looked much better at Miss Earth than at Miss World last year, where she was the worst of an otherwise illustrious final five. Not since Malgorzata Rozniecka won MI 01 has a Polish woman made top-three in a major. Poland has done well at Miss Earth, and it has three Miss Internationals and a Miss World win from 1989. Now, Poland should try for similar results at Miss Universe.
  
  I didn't expect Serbo-Montenegrin beauty Jovana Marjanovic to be in the hunt, but she proved me wrong. Her fourth place finish is the best in the majors since Sanja Papic took the same spot at Miss Universe 2003.
  
  I thought that there would be a top 20, but instead it was a top 16. I divided the 80 contestants into four groups of 20, and from the elite group my choices made the cut: Venezuela, South Korea, Dominican Republic, Philippines, Poland, USA, Ecuador, and Puerto Rico. From the secondary group: Chile, Russia, Czech Republic, Serbia and Montenegro, and Paraguay. From the tertiary group: Tanzania, El Salvador, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  
  Rehema Sudi's placement is the first ever in the majors for Tanzania. Tanzania is sure to be in the hunt at Miss World, and Miss International yielded a National Costume award for Margareth Wilson Chacha. Miss Universe should be next for the Tanzanians.
  
  Once again, Ukraine comes up with diddly squat. Oleksandra Nikolayenko failed to make the semis at Miss Universe 2004, despite people saying over and over that she was the one to beat. And here, Yevheniya Rudenko falls victim a la Oleksandra.

  • THE NEW MISS EARTH is Alexandra Braun of Venezuela (above photo, second from left) who was crowned in Manila's University of the Philippines Theater last night. Braun defeated over eighty delegates. Her court includes Miss Earth-Air Amell Santana of the Dominican Republic, Miss Earth-Water Katarzyna Borowicz of Poland, and Miss Earth-Fire is Jovana Marjanovic of Serbia & Montenegro. Braun also won the Best in Swimsuit award. The quarter finalists included the delegates from Puerto Rico (Best in Long Gown), Chile (Miss Photogenic) USA and Paraguay. The semi-finalists included the reps from Bosnia & Herzegovina, Czech Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Korea (Best National Costume), Philippines, Russia, and Tanzania. Ukraine won Miss Talent and Canada was elected Miss Friendship. Pond's, one of the major sponsors, chose five delegates with the most beautiful skin: Korea, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Poland and the Dominican Republic. Borowicz was third in last year's Miss World. Braun's victory makes Venezuela as the second country after Brazil to have won all four grand slam pageants, maintaining its supremacy in international pageantry.

• The 2005 Miss Earth pageant was tough — Rehema Sudi, Miss Earth 2005 Semifinalist -- Informer, 00:29:22 11/05/05 Sat
  
  The 2005 Miss Earth pageant was tough — Rehema Sudi, Miss Earth 2005 Semifinalist
  
  Tanzania’s representative in the Miss Earth beauty pageant, Rehema Sudi, says the competition was very tough.
  
  Rehema made the remarks in Dar es Salaam yesterday at Dar es Salaam International Conference Centre (DICC), when briefing the Sunday Observer about the event which took place in Phillipines last Week.
  
  The Tanzanian queen qualified in the top 16 Semifinals in the contest which featured about 80 contestants from various countries in the world.
  
  She said that the event had given her more experience to share with next year’s Tanzania’s representatives in the contest.
  
  ’I never thought I would get this chance. It is the first time for Tanzania to qualify in the top 16 semifinals,’ said Rehema.
  
  She commended the Director of Compass Communication Tanzania Limited, Maria Sarungi for staging the contest which enabled her travel and feature in the Miss Earth beauty pageant.
  
  Apart from Rehema, Maria also sent two Tanzanian queens to feature in the world beauty pageant.
  
  They are Joan Cassian who competed in Miss Intercontinetal pageant held in China and won the talent award.
  
  The other was Magreth Wilson who represented Tanzania in Miss International and won the Miss International Best in National Costume award.
  
  Yet another Tanzanian queen who is enjoying Maria’s support is Tetemaria Mallya who left recently for Hong King to compete in the Miss Model of the World. The event will take place on November 15.

• CHILE'S HIL HERNÁNDEZ, MISS EARTH: “IT WASN’T EASY TO GET TO THIS POINT” -- << >>, 17:40:49 01/13/07 Sat
  
  Interview with Hil Hernández, Miss Earth 2006
  (January 13, 2007) (Ed. Note: Hil Hernández is the 23-year-old woman who, after Cecilia Bolloco, has been the only Chilean woman to obtain the first place in an international beauty pageant. Born in the city of Chiloé, she represents the classical Latin stereotype. In this interview with Ya magazine, Hernández talks about how she became a beauty queen.)
  
  Hil Hernández was born in Castro, she is 1.81 meters tall and she is now enjoying her Miss Earth crown, the world’s third most important beauty pageant after Miss Universe and Miss World. Nonetheless, Hil says that getting there was something that didn’t happen out of the blue and that everything started after her father’s death. In these pages, she tells her story.
  “When I was seven years old and my brothers were still teenagers, my father suffered a brain stroke.” From being a regular person, he was paralyzed from one day to another. He suffered from memory loss during the following two years and he could not recognize his own family. However, with an overwhelming tranquility, Hil says that this wasn’t a traumatic change in her life: “Children adapt easily to new circumstances, and I soon got used to the fact that my father could be okay one day, but we would have to take good care of him the next. My brothers suffered a bigger shock since they were teenagers when everything happened.”
  In the following years her brothers got married and formed their own families while Hil remained at her father’s side until he died. She was then 15 years old and beginning her secondary education. “I took care of my father for eight years, but I felt like it was only one month. I could have done that forever. I never minded taking care of him; it was part of my life. I would go to school in the morning and in the afternoon I would give him tea and feed him while my mother worked. In the meantime I would go out and play.”
  QUESTION: Did you ever feel your father’s condition was a burden?
  HIL HERNANDEZ: No. It was a very normal stage of my life. I think that made me mature much faster. People would say about me: “She is such a mature girl! She can sit down with anyone and talk about any subject and she is only ten years old.” That happened because my parents never hid anything from me. I knew about my father’s strokes, I would go with him to the hospital, I would try to help. It was a very healthy situation and it never felt it like something traumatic, I never felt afraid. I would look at his green eyes, he would look back at me, he wouldn’t move, he wouldn’t talk, but I felt like we could communicate. I believe he was suffering much more than I was.
  Her mother, Yorky Escobar, took charge of the family. “My mother immediately took charge. She said, ´He is my husband, the father of my children, this is complicated but we will get through this.´ We spent money that we didn’t have. We never took vacations because it was risky to take him out. Overall, I feel that what happened to us made us a very loving and close family. My mother is a great woman, she deserves my respect and I’m sure my brothers feel the same way.”
  “When my father died,” Hernández says, “we felt a deep emptiness in our lives. After having a daily routine with him for eight years we went to having nothing and not knowing what to do. As months passed by we would look at each other’s faces at lunchtime and wonder ‘what do we do now?’ Everything changed one day when my mom saw an advertisement on television saying that models were needed. I didn’t realize what she was doing at the moment, but she was trying to make me change my attitude and go out into the world, as a way to get through everything that happened. And since I enjoy new experiences I said, “Okay, let’s see what happens.’”
  She says it wasn’t simple. “There wasn’t such a thing as the exotic girl boom right at the moment, so things were complicated for me. I worked hard but it wasn’t easy; it wasn’t like I could walk into a room and immediately get the job. I wasn’t even thinking about becoming a top model, but I did want to make enough money so I could afford college. I didn’t want my mom to keep working so hard just for me. I had my own legs, my own arms, and I was smart, so why shouldn’t I get a job?”
  At the age of 18, she started to participate in beauty pageants while still modeling. First, she entered the Miss World Chile contest and succeeded in becoming one of four finalists. “I liked that experience so much that I started to push my luck in international competitions. I traveled to China for the Miss Model of the World, and then I went to Bolivia and Costa Rica. Those were less important competitions but they helped me achieve this [Miss Earth] because you can’t be a beauty queen out of the blue. I never felt the pressure to win. To me, participating was a unique opportunity.”
  Hil’s self-confidence is overwhelming and she says that was one of the keys to winning the 2006 Miss Earth competition in Manila, Philippines.
  Proof of her self-confidence is the fact that she didn’t feel insecure when she was still at school, despite the fact that she never had dancing partners because no boys of her age were as tall as she was. “I was never a queen of my school dances because I never had a king as tall as me; it would have been a joke to participate in that kind of thing. So I tried other things like singing in festivals, dancing or acting in plays. There was a moment where I started to slouch, but my mom would tell me to straighten up because it wasn’t my fault if everyone else were short.”
  Q: Do you think you won the competition because of you self-confidence?
  HH: No one told me that, but I think that was the reason. I wasn’t nervous at all. In fact, people ask me: ‘What makes you jump and scream and be nervous,’ and I don’t even have a clue. I am very rational. When I want something I work for it and I get it, but right afterwards I think about my next goals. This triumph at the Miss Earth competition makes me feel really proud, but right now the crowning ceremony is nothing but a good memory. Now I’m concerned about the trips I will have to make, the meetings I will have to attend, and also about my work with the UN and UNICEF. My goal is to build something lasting.”
  Q: You are not intimidated by anything.
  HH: No, because I feel capable of standing in any stage and doing anything. Of course I will always feel a little anxious and the day I don’t feel that way and I don’t get the tickles in my stomach anymore is the day the whole thing will stop being fun. I’m not afraid of anything. How can I be afraid of something that I don’t know? But I am afraid of sickness because it’s something logical, because of my experience with me dad. My father’s illness is the most important thing that has ever happened in my life and I think my real life starts from that point. I had bad experiences after that but nothing compares with losing your own father. Those experiences shape your personality. You build yourself through your experiences with your own family and with the things that happen to you. Those are good or bad. Everything happens for a reason.
  Q: What are your dreams?
  HH: I have to hand my crown after one year but that doesn’t mean that I will be unable to live my own life. This is one year that I have to embrace and take advantage of it. I will no longer participate in any other beauty contests because I have already attained my goal. And I also interrupted my university studies. I would like to do something like acting or hosting a TV show. I have no idea, but I’m only 23 years old.

  Miss Earth Crowns New Queen
  
  After three hectic weeks of preparation, the moment has come for 82 stunning young women from all over the world to shine on center stage and let their environmental advocacies be heard on the grand coronation night of Miss Earth 2006.
  
  Carousel Productions proudly assembled outstanding candidates who do not only possess eye-catching beauty but, more importantly, a genuine dedication to help preserve and protect the environment. As Carousel President Ramon S. Monzon puts it, “It is very satisfying to be able to attract so many young women who want to get involved in Miss Earth’s environmental mission. It proves the youth today want to make a difference.”
  
  From Day 1, the candidates have been busy touring the Philippines to spread awareness on global warming, Miss Earth’s environmental platform for 2006. “The candidates embarked on a promotional campaign against global warming that brought them to various schools and municipalities in Metro Manila and different provinces,” says Carousel Executive Vice-President Lorraine E. Schuck. “They were at the forefront sharing valuable steps one can take right now to cut global warming pollution.”
  
  Aside from bringing worldwide attention to environmental issues, Miss Earth also promotes the Philippines as an ideal tourism destination. Together with the creative production team of ABS-CBN 2, Miss Earth will also highlight the vibrant sights and rich culture of the City of Manila and the picturesque provinces of Batangas, Laguna, Lucena, Palawan, Pampanga, and Quezon.
  
  This interesting twining of the elements of a beauty pageant with a more relevant, cause-oriented thrust has made Miss Earth one of the highly-anticipated and competitive international beauty tilts. Going only into its sixth year, Miss Earth quickly rose to become a major event in the beauty pageant industry with more and more countries expressing their interest to participate each year.
  
  Miss Earth will also have a delayed telecast in more than 70 countries covered by The Filipino Channel (TFC) and Star World, and also in some participating countries. The telecast on Star World is scheduled on December 9 at 9:00 P.M. with repeat airings on December 10 at 1:00 A.M. and 7:00 A.M., and on December 11 at 10:00 A.M.

• Watch for miss Earth at Melody TV in Egypt -- hamid, 20:51:45 11/26/06 Sun
  NEWS Flash:
  
  Our sources of information are: Face To Face, the Miss Egypt and Miss Arab World organization, Cleo Ceid, and David Moa'wad from Lebanon.
  
  Miss Earth 2006 is Miss Chile! The beautiful charmer won the crown few hours ago in Manilla. The runner-Ups were Miss Air won by India, Miss Water won by Philippines, and Miss Fire won by Venezuela. The Top8 finalists were Misses Egypt, Poland, Panama, and Czesh Republic. This is the first time ever an Arab nation lands in the Top8 of Miss Earth. The remaining 8 semi-finalists came from: Slovak Republic, France, St. Lucia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bahamas, USA, Spain, and China.
  
  We are celebrating Meriam's placement, soon we will have an interview with her after she is back to Egypt. Face To Face is to hold a press confrence about her placement.
  
  The pageant is over, with more than 90 beauties from all over the world it will be unfair to judge the girls based only on their beauty! As we do not have an on-sight coverage or contacts in Manilla, we will only be able to judge the girls based on their looks, poise and ellegance.
  
  Also the pageant is expected to be aired on Melody TV.
  Good job, Meriam! You have made us all proud!

• 1 MORE DAY -- BISAYA, 07:55:45 11/25/06 Sat
  HERE'S THE ACTUAL link :
  http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage.aspx?StoryId=57344
  
  The 20 ‘most likely’ Miss Earth bets
  
  FUNFARE
  BY RICARDO F. LO
  
  The new Miss Earth will be chosen at an open-air affair tomorrow night starting at 9 p.m. at the Agrifina Circle in front of the National Museum to be telecast live by ABS-CBN.
  
  Miss Earth is now ranked No. 3 among international beauty pageants – Miss Universe is No. 1, Miss World is No. 2 and Miss International is No. 4 – in number of candidates, at present with 82 competing for one of the two titles (the other being Miss World) not won yet by a Filipina.
  
  Here’s a report by Funfare’s "beauty experts" Felix Manuel, Joey Cezeare, Gery Yumping and Francis Calubaquib:
  The Fontana Leisure Parks, located in a 300-hectare property within the Clark Special Economic Zone at Clark Field, Pampanga, served as the perfect venue for the Swimsuit Competition Finals of the 2006 Miss Earth Beauty Pageant.
  
  The Best in Swimsuit Award which will be announced tomorrow at the finals of the pageant. Fifteen girls were chosen from the field of 85 delegates as preliminary swimsuit winners in three pre-pageant event held in Los Baños, Laguna; Coron, Palawan; and Calatagan, Batangas.
  
  "This is the best place I’ve ever been in my whole life!" enthused Miss Venezuela, Marianne Puglia. Miss Puerto Rico, Camille Collazo, confessed that it was like being in Disneyland with an exotic touch. Hometown bet Catherine Untalan is definitely proud that her fellow delegates enjoyed their stay here in the country.
  
  This year’s batch is the best by far. Even reigning Miss Earth Alexandra Braun Waldeck of Venezuela is having a hard time picking her favorites.
  
  And here are our 20 "most likely" choices to bag the award:
  
  • Venezuela. Marianne Pasqualina Puglia Martinez (21, 5’9", 35-24-35, 121 lbs.), a top model in her country, has already won two minor international beauty titles. Her goal is a back-to-back victory for her country which will surely be welcomed after her compatriot was named Miss International a week ago.
  
  • Poland, Francyz Barraza Sudnicka (26, 5’7", 34-24-35, 119 lbs.) is half-Polish, half-Venezuelan, who has also won two minor international titles for Venezuela. She decided to live and work in Poland when she was asked to compete for the Miss Poland title, that qualified her to compete for this year’s Miss Universe pageant.
  
  • Slovak Republic, Judita Hrubyova (21, 5’8", 35-24-36, 121 lbs.), a top model in her native land, has the prettiest face among this year’s delegates. She was a candidate in this year’s Miss Universe pageant.
  
  • Canada, Riza Raquel Santos (20, 5’8", 35-25-35, 116 lbs.) is a Filipina born in Canada. A reporter, she is considered the top favorite among the local press. She has won two side awards during the course of the pageant including Miss Earth-Fontana.
  
  • USA, Amanda Pennekamp (25, 5’8", 35-26-35, 120 lbs.), a model and professional actress, is based in New York.
  
  • Philippines, Catherine Yu Untalan (21, 6’, 34-25-35, 130 lbs.) graduated cum laude with a BA Psychology degree from the University of the Philippines. She is among the tallest in the batch and the most noticeable. She aims to win the pageant to promote environmental awareness among all nations.
  
  • Bolivia, Jessica Anne Jordan (22, 5’9", 34-24-34, 118 lbs.), a top model in her country, exudes elegance and has an admirable sense of humor.
  
  • Australia, Natalie Maria Newton (20, 5’6", 32-24-32, 114 lbs.) has the sweetest face among the delegates.
  
  • India, Amruta Patki (20, 5’11", 34-24-36, 125 lbs.) comes from another superpower in the pageant industry. She is well trained and has the gift of gab. The statuesque beauty exudes class.
  
  • Curacao, Kristal Sprock (21, 5’7", 35-24-35) has the best curves and stunning blonde locks. She reminds everyone of a former Miss Universe winner who went into politics.
  
  • Brazil, Ana Quinot (24, 5’7", 36-26-36, 129 lbs.), is gymnastic teacher whose presence is instantly felt whenever she enters the room. She is very soft-spoken and elegant.
  
  • Chile, Hil Yesenia Hernandez Escobar (22, 5’11", 35-25-35, 124 lbs.), a dusky and statuesque university student, has the most beautiful eyes among the candidates.
  
  • Thailand, Pathar Rungratanasunthorn (23, 5’8", 36-25-36, 119 lbs.) has a classic oriental beauty. She studied in the US and now works as a designer.
  
  • Martinique, Megane Cindy Martinon (20, 5’7", 33-24-34, 117 lbs.) has an exotic appeal and innate elegance that make her stand out.
  
  • France, Anne Charlotte Triplet (19, 6’, 37-27-37, 136 lbs.), a university student, has the most angelic face and is most sought-after during pictorials.
  
  • Czech Republic, Petra Soukupova (20, 5’6", 34-24-35, 115 lbs.) has an Eastern European look that makes her very noticeable among onlookers.
  
  • Panama, Stefanie De Roux (24, 5’8", 34-24-36, 130 lbs.), works as an administrator and was a semi-finalist in the 2003 Miss Universe pageant.
  
  • Finland, Linnea Aaltonen (18, 5’5", 35-24-34, 107 lbs.) has the classic features and sweet smile that make her an easy choice among pageant aficionados.
  
  • Ethiopia, Dina Fekadu (22, 5’8", 34-26-36, 117 lbs.), a university student and model, was a semi-finalist in this year’s Miss Universe pageant.
  
  • Saint Lucia, Cathy Johnny (19, 5’11", 34-25-37), a Tourism management graduate, plans to promote her country as a tourist destination.

  On a personal note. Aside from Ricky's list, I love Miss Switzerland, Ireland, Bahamas, Nigeria, China,Honduras, Sweden OMG there's a lot more. This year is the most competitive in the history of Miss Earth. It seems that everybody are favorites. GOOD LUCK TO YOU GIRLS...Congratulations to the Filipino people foragain handling a succesful pageant. I heard that the stage is very impressive. Any pics?

• MISS TIBET -- COCO, 20:43:52 11/15/06 Wed
  
  Tsering Chungtak speaking at Trace College in Los Baños, Laguna (outside Manila) where they had an interaction with a student's forum.
  
  Miss Tibet participates in Miss Earth
  misstibet.com[Monday, November 13, 2006 09:58]
  
  Miss Tibet Tsering Chungtak has landed in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, to participate in the Miss Earth pageant.
  
  She is among close to 90 deserving candidates from all over the world vying for the coveted title. The Coronation Night will be on Sunday, 26 November 2006, and will be held at the grounds of the National Museum in Manila.
  
  Miss Earth draws attention towards global environmental issues. This year's pageant will focus on global warming. Each contestant will have a message to save the environment and make a stand against pressing issues concerning the environment.
  
  Ramon S. Monzon, the President of Carousel Productions and organiser of the pageant, feels proud to see that Miss Earth attracts so many young women who want to get involved in the pageant's environmental mission. "It proves the youth today want to make a difference."
  
  Through the candidates' campaign, the pageant, now in the sixth year of its production, hopes to educate people as to the simple steps they can take to cut global warming pollution.
  
  This year, 12 more countries are participating in the pageant for the first time. These are Botswana, Cayman Islands, Curacao, Georgia, Guadeloupe, Ireland, Liberia, Lithuania, Republic of Congo, Sudan, Tibet, and Wales.
  
  Chokhor Tours and Travels and Kalden Dorjee Aukatsang producing Auka designs line of clothing and accessories, both based in Delhi, partly sponsored Tsering Chungtak's trip to Manila.
