The Miss Earth Philippines, originally called Miss Philippines, is a beauty pageant held annually in search of the most beautiful and environmental-friendly woman in the Philippines.[1] Miss Philippines Earth is the largest and most widely participated beauty pageant in the Philippines with 50 official candidates participated in 2009.[2][3][4]
The reigning titleholders dedicate their year to promote environmental projects and to address issues concerning the environment.[5] They also serve as spokesperson for the Miss Earth Foundation, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and other environmental organizations.[6]
The grand winner will represent Philippines in Miss Earth pageant. The pageant's current titleholder is Sandra Inez Seifert of Negros Occidental.[3][4]
History
In the first quarter of 2001, Carousel Productions relinquished the franchise in both Mutya ng Pilipinas (Beauty of the Philippines) and Miss Asia Pacific International beauty contests and decided to establish a beauty pageant whose cause is to have its candidates and winners actively promote and get involved in the preservation of the environment and the protection of Mother Earth. As a result, Miss Philippines (currently called Miss Philippines Earth) and Miss Earth pageants were established.[2]
Miss Philippines beauty pageant was formally launched in a press conference on April 3, 2001 with the search of a delegate to represent Philippines in the international Miss Earth competition.[7] The pageant tied up with the Philippine government agencies such as the Philippine Department of Tourism (DoT), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), and at least two international environmental groups such as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the American Global Release to further its environmental advocacy.[8][9]
The pageant contestants are called "Beauties for a Cause." The competition includes swimsuit competition, long gown parade, talent competition, but more weight is given to personality and also to ecological and environmental intelligence in the interview portion.[10]
In 2006, Carousel Productions opened the contest to Filipina women of foreign ancestry, or from those living abroad such as Australia, France, Germany, United Arab Emirates and the United States of America.[2][11]
In 2008, Miss Philippines-Earth broadened its coverage to various provinces, cities, and municipalities to send in their respective candidate. The decision to transform Miss Philippines Earth in a larger-scale was made to further the cause of Miss Philippines Earth and with more participants involved, Carousel Productions would be able to reach more people and communities involved in its environmental advocacy.[2][11]
