Every 5th of June, we celebrate World Environment Day. Countries all over the world are mobilized for environmental action. Indeed, a collective effort such as this is worth celebrating. Here in the Philippines, we look forward to this event and more...
Tonight is the culmination of the surprising, not to mention shocking twist that shook pageant history.
This year, the Miss Philippines-Earth hopefuls faced weekly eliminations, which kept them, as well as pageant followers, on their toes, in eager anticipation of who among the ladies will survive and land a spot in the 'tough' 10.
During the media presentation of the 50 candidates last April 26, it was announced that, in celebration of the International Year of the Forests, forest conservation and preservation is the theme of this year's pageant. Following this, the ladies took on the role of Amazon guardians to help conserve and preserve the country's deteriorating forests. Interestingly enough, when the twist was revealed, the official delegates of cities and municipalities had to be strong and tough like Amazons if they wanted to stay in the battlefield of beauty and environmental know-how.

THE "EARTH" COUNTS DOWN TO THE "HOUR"
In the recently held Earth Hour celebration at the Bonifacio High Street, the Miss Philippines-Earth 2011 candidates have taken the lead towards encouraging the people to unite for something that is important to us all- the planet.
A quarter before 8:30pm, the lovely and eloquent delegates let their voices heard as they shared their environmental advocacies to the listening public. Vivienne Gulla and Athena Imperial, two candidates of Miss Philippines-Earth 2011, hosted this eventful global movement which aims to challenge the recurring environmental problems.
Last year, the Miss Earth Foundation also joined the Earth Hour at the same venue by not only joining the countdown but also by conducting an eco-fashion show and a public showing of the environmental drama, "Project Noel". "Joining Earth Hour is our statement of support to all the efforts done by various groups to act upon climate change. Earth Hour is not just about turning off the lights but it also about pushing our legislators to make laws to address this global concern. This year, the theme encourages us to go beyond the hour by making smarter, more eco-friendly choices," said Miss Earth Executive Director Catherine Untalan.
Fifteen seconds before the clock strikes half past eight, the Miss Philippines-Earth candidates started the count down as the public joined in high anticipation of this much-awaited hour. At exactly 8:30pm, the Bonifacio High Street establishments turned off their lights- one with the world in making a stand for environmental conservation and preservation.
