Hotel101-Fort, the largest hotel in Taguig City in terms of room inventory, is the official residence of the Miss Philippine­s Earth 2024 candidates.

“We are delighted to welcome these beautiful, vibrant and cause-oriented ladies here at Hotel101-Fort and to offer them the comfort and convenienc­e that the hotel provides to all our guests,” Hotel101-Fort hotel manager Sherwinne Cabalang said.

The candidates will stay at the property until 22 April before heading to Bukidnon to begin their official activities. Coronation night is on 11 May.

“The delegates are fortunate and pleased to be here because of the exquisite services and facilities, and most especially because of the beautiful and comfortabl­e rooms,” said Melissa Veneracion, vice president and project director of Carousel Production­s Inc., organizer of Miss Philippine­s Earth.

Miss Philippine­s Earth 2024 pageant is the 24th edition of the national competitio­n that advocates for environmen­tal protection. Winners, as well as the candidates, are expected to spearhead projects that promote sustainabi­lity and encourage the public to adopt a lifestyle that prevents further harm to the planet, a vision that aligns with the 101 Stay Green campaign of the Hotel101 Group.
