CEBU, Philippines - The red carpet is all set this Saturday, November 15, as the country’s premier five-star water park resort, Jpark Island Resort & Waterpark, Cebu (JPI), presents the Miss Earth 2014 Talent Night.
Thirty candidates from around the globe will compete for Best in Talent to prove they are more than beautiful – but validated with talent too. The scores that the contestants garner on this night will, subsequently, impact their final score in the Grand Coronation Night on November 29.
Miss Earth is an annual international beauty pageant promoting environmental awareness. Along with Miss Universe and Miss World contests, it is one of the three largest beauty pageants in the world in terms of the number of national-level competitions to participate in the world finals and one of the most publicized beauty contests in the world.
The reigning titleholders dedicate their year to promote specific projects and often address issues concerning the environment and other global issues through school tours, tree planting activities, street campaigns, coastal clean ups, speaking engagements, shopping mall tours, media guestings, environmental fairs, storytelling programs, eco-fashion shows, and other environmental activities.
The Miss Earth winner is the spokesperson for the Miss Earth Foundation, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and other environmental organizations. The Miss Earth Foundation also works with the environmental departments and ministries of participating countries, various private sectors and corporations, as well as Greenpeace and the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF).
The current Miss Earth titleholder is Alyz Henrich from Venezuela who was crowned December 7, 2013 in Muntinlupa City, Philippines. (PR) (FREEMAN)
