Miss Philippines Earth to espouse a 'Fauna' themed pageant this year

By Earl D.C. Bracamonte

The Miss Philippines Earth and Carousel Productions announced, through its social media pages, the national search for the next batch of earth warriors by opening its 2022 pageant season. After two years of holding virtual competitions, the Miss Philippines Earth pageant is finally gunning for an on-site coronation for its 22nd edition.

The online screening of prospective candidates will start on March 1. Aside from local regions, the Miss Philippines Earth will also screen global applicants, notably from Filipino communities in Dubai, the Middle East, and the United States. Some pre-pageant competitions will also be judged online before the Top 20 official candidates are chosen.

For this year's edition, Miss Philippines Earth takes on the theme "ME Loves Fauna" to emphasize the importance of animal existence. The theme also gives awareness on how animals - both wildlife and domestic - as integral members of the biosphere that must be given spaces to live in and an ecosystem to thrive upon.

Local and overseas aspirants can download the entry forms via http://www.missphilippines-earth.com/. Accomplish and email the filled-out forms to secretariat.missphilippines@gmail.com.

Outgoing queen Miss Philippines Earth 2021 Naelah Alshorbaji, together with her court of elemental queens - Miss Philippines Air 2021 Ameera Almamari, Miss Philippines Water 2021 Rocel Angelah Songano, Miss Philippines Fire 2021 Roni Meneses, and Miss Philippines Eco-Tourism 2021 Sofiia Lopez Galve - will be relinquishing their crowns to a new set of earth warriors. The 2021 edition saw 66 aspirants competing for the national crowns. That number has dwindled this year for health and safety reasons - like transporting a lesser number of people to and from venues of the competition.

The pageant community is excited that the 2022 national selection will be held live and not virtually like the past two years. And where will the venue of the live pageant be? In a few weeks time, we will know. Stay tuned!
