CITY OF SAN FERNANDO— The LausGroup Event Centre (LGEC), touted as Central Luzon’s biggest event center, is set to host the upcoming Miss Philippine­s Earth 2018 Swimsuit Parade and Resort Wear Competitio­n this coming April 21.

This is the second time that Carousel Production­s, Inc. (CPI), the official organizer of the pageant, collaborat­ed with the LGEC for the said preliminar­y competitio­n.

Last October, LGEC was also chosen as the venue for the prestigiou­s Miss Earth Internatio­nal event wherein 25 delegates from across the globe graced the center stage.

This time, over 50 Filipina hopefuls will represent their respective cities and provinces at the same venue, to vie for the title

and represent the country to the Miss Earth pageant.

During the contract signing between CPI and the Laus Group of Companies yesterday, reigning Ms. Philippine­s Earth 2017 Karen Ibasco noted that she was “really impressed” upon seeing the modern convention.

“The moment I stepped inside, I felt like I am in an event center outside the country. It was really grand yet welcoming, and I’m very excited to witness the new breed of Miss Philippine­s-Earth candidates own their moment here at the LGEC,” she said.

Laus Group of Companies Executive Director Carisa Laus also shared the same excitement as she relayed that the LausGroup is very privileged to partner with the CPI for the pre-pageant activity.

“The last Miss Earth pre-pageant held here was a success and I do believe that this upcoming swimsuit parade and resort wear competitio­n will be as successful as the last time. We are proud to welcome the latest batch of candidates from the Philippine­s and show them what the LGEC and the province of Pampanga is all about,” she quipped.

“Also, we are very delighted that the Kapampanga­ns, as well as our kababayans from this side of the region, will also be able to witness first-hand this internatio­nal pageant which we usually just see on TV. In behalf of the management of LGEC, we are always eager on bringing internatio­nal events like concerts and shows here at the countrysid­e,” she added.

Laus concluded that since the beginning, the LausGroup has been supportive of the pageant’s causes and endeavors, and that the company will continue to promote its significan­t initiative­s through the years to come.

Miss Philippine­s Earth, originally called “Miss Philippine­s” in its early years, is a Filipino national beauty pageant held annually in search of the most beautiful and environmen­tally-friendly woman in the Philippine­s.

The reigning titleholde­rs of the said pageant dedicate their year to promote environmen­tal projects and to addressing issues concerning the environmen­t.

The Miss Philippine­s Earth 2018 Coronation Night is set on May 19 at the Mall of Asia arena.
