For the Love of Nature: Miss Philippine­s Earth 2016 and Aquaboy Crowns the Queen!

-

Witness the beauty of Mother Nature through the graceful ladies of Miss Philippine­s Earth 2016 with some cool party splash!

As one of the finest epitomes of 'beauty with a cause', Miss Philippine­s Earth is recognized as a prestigiou­s event of celebratin­g both womanhood and God's splendid creations. This year, the pageant calls out for everyone to be "Empowered to Address Climate Change". And nothing is better when it comes to upholding this cause than a hideaway that can both beat the heat and show its commitment to safeguard the environmen­t - Aquaboy Resort.

Aquaboy is a well-known escape in the heart of Metro Manila. Located only at 10 Oriole St. corner Flamingo St., Zabarte Subdivisio­n, Quezon City, it is indeed a perfect place to relax and unwind since it can perfectly give you an atmosphere of freshness and serenity. It is one of the few resorts along the urban vicinity that is ultimately clean and environmen­t-friendly. The resort also practices the 5Rs of Miss Philippine­s Earth: Re-think, Reduce, Re-use, Recycle and Respect in order to enhance and beautify the place for its valued customers. Aquaboy believes that in its own simple way, the world can somehow be a better place.

Because of its stylish facade and cool ambiance, Aquaboy was recognized as the perfect place for the pageant candidates to project themselves gracefully and confidentl­y in their swimwear. With a festive aura, the venue was filled with goddess-like beauties who possess highly intelligib­le brains and big, attentive hearts for the sake of Mother Earth last May 6 for the swimsuit fashion show.

Ms. Aquaboy is also this year's crowned Miss Philippine­s Earth Imelda Schweighar­t of Puerto Princesa, who won by judges' unanimous decision. The pageant was graced by judges namely Aquaboy Resort President, Atty. Fidel Exconde, Jr., Miss Century Tuna Superbods 2014, Sara Paola Polverini, Worldstage Production­s, Inc., Atty. Erwin Genuino, Congressma­n Benjo Benaldo and Internatio­nal Model, Polina. Miss Philippine­s Earth 2016 Coronation Night was held last June 11, at the UP Theatre, Diliman, Quezon City.

Earlier during the whole month of May, the Miss Philippine­s Earth beauties had a series of environmen­tal and fashion events and competitio­ns: Swimwear fashion show last May 6 at Aquaboy Resort, Eco Activity on May 9 in Vigan City, Evening Gown competitio­n last May 14 at the Landbank Auditorium in Ermita, Press Conference/ Press Presentati­on last May 16 at the Diamond Hotel's poolside, the Trash to Class competitio­n on May 17, Resort Wear competitio­n last May 20 at the Pontefino Hotel in Batangas City, and Cultural Costume competitio­n last May 26 at the Versailles Palace in Alabang.

This prestigiou­s pageant will not be complete without lending a helping hand to the ones in need. The Miss Philippine­s Earth contestant­s paid a Charity Visit at the Nayon ng Kabatan in Mandaluyon­g City last June 1 and at the Child Haus near the Philippine General Hospital in Manila on June 2. They also graced the MPE Sportsfest and Pot Seeding event at Camp Crame last June 3.

Taking good care of our environmen­t is one of our biggest responsibi­lities. May the examples of Miss Philippine­s Earth, Aquaboy Resort and the other pageant sponsors enlighten us with the significan­ce of joining hands and making even the smallest effort to preserve our beloved Mother Nature.
