Miss Earth 2009 Contestants
The much-anticipated day sparkled as 90 of the most beautiful environment diplomats from all over of the world paraded for the 2009 Miss Earth Beauty Pageant press presentation, held on November 4, 2009, 10:00 a.m. at Mader’s Garden, the residence of style guru Ricky Reyes. Like real gems, the young ladies shared their lustre to illuminate the cause of Mother Nature, a continuous campaign they have been waging as “beauties for a cause.”
This year, the Miss Earth Pageant is seeking to amplify the message of nature brought by the devastation caused by recent typhoon Ondoy in the Philippines, the sand storm in Australia, and the floods in India. “Mother Earth is telling us something. The recent tragic events must affirm us to continue our pro-environment efforts and compel those who haven’t acted yet,” said the reigning Miss Earth 2008 Karla Paula Henry, who was also a leading figure in the relief operations that followed the Ondoy calamity. Carousel Productions, Inc. President Mr. Ramon S. Monzon agreed and shared, “There were warnings in the past which most of us ignored and were complacent about. The recurring abnormal weather pattern around us is a reminder that we can never afford to wait until the worst scenario happens. We must act with urgency.”
Ms. Lorraine Schuck, CPI Executive Vice President, further added, “We can all contribute by simply changing our lifestyle and seriously implement the 4Rs – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Respect. The delegates of Miss Earth this year have been spreading this message by sharing ways on how to live an eco-friendly lifestyle.”
