KAREN IBASCO MISS EARTH 2017 FULL PERFORMANCE

MISS EARTH 2017 : She is the epitome of being resilient. She may have been bashed the most, she ignored it all just to perform her function as Miss Earth and to do it well. Which is very admirable and impeccable. Regardless of how the world reacted on her win, she went on and do what she knew what's best and right for the organization. Karen, is such a strong woman whose main intention is to spread environmental awareness to every country she visited. Before joining Miss Earth, she was a candidate of Binibini. Not originally part of the top 40, but she got the call back due to some initially announced candidates did not meet the height requirement. She became candidate number 8. Though armed with heavy credentials, Karen did not make the top 25 of the said pageant. Karen did not stop pursuing her dream. She went on to join the Miss Philippines Earth. She represented the city of Manila. She was part of the top 15 in the poise category, intelligence and beauty of face category. She moved further into the competition by making it to the top ten finalist. Then they were evaluated again. The evaluation started with the swimsuit competition. It was followed by the hashtag round. Her hashtag was fake news. Her answer to that hashtag was on point and very direct. After the hashtag round, the evening gown followed. Her answer to the final question made it easier for the judges to proclaim her as Miss Philippines Earth. Moving to the Miss Earth 2017, Karen was never a favorite. Many had their eyes on other candidates like Miss Thailand, Venezuela, Netherlands, Ecuador and the likes. During the press presentation, the Gold medal went to Karen Ibasco. Miss Earth has pre-pageant activities that awards delegates Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals. The delegates are also divided into three groups. The pre-pageant activities does not affect the selection of the top 16 finalists. During the pre-pageant activities, Karen got 5 medals (3 golds and 2 silvers). On the competition pr

NELLYS PIMENTEL MISS EARTH 2019 FULL PERFORMANCE

MISS EARTH 2019 : The PR Queen that completed the Big 4 pageant crown for Puerto Rico. This stunning earth advocate is the first Boricua to win the Miss Earth crown. For me she is one of the most beautiful ME queens. I was not a solid follower of ME so I have no idea who were the frontrunners during the pageant. All I knew Ghana was making the rounds due to her being so charismatic to her pinoy followers. But on the coronation night, the moment I saw Nellys, I got smitten by her beauty. She was really that beautiful that my eyes got glued on her. During the pre-pageant activities, she got 2 silver medals. One for evening gown competition and the other is for the swimsuit competition under the WATER GROUP. So it was not a surprised that she would make the top 20 cut. She was called the 15th to be called. The flower on hear added a little cuteness on her swimsuit presentation. While on the evening gown, she was so divine and elegant that as early as that round, I wanted her to be crowned already. The next cut was for top 10 and this is the hashtag round. She was the second to be called on top 10 and her hashtag was : Respect. Her response to this was : “Magandang hapon, Pilipinas. This hashtag touches a lot in my heart, because it is the base of my advocacy. It is love and respect I stand for, in the family and in our Earth. By respecting one another and respecting the environment we live in, we can create a better envirionment for ourselves and for the future generations. It’s the most wonderful thing we can do for others.” After the hashtag round, only 4 would make the cut and she was the last to be called. The final question was : “There are many people including some notable international leaders who still do not believe in climate change. How would you convince them about the seriousness of this problem?”; and the beauties kept their various opinions with utmost fluency and grace. Her answer was : “Addressing this issue of people not knowing o

KATHERINE ESPIN MISS EARTH 2016 FULL PERFORMANCE

MISS EARTH 2016 : With her win, she became the second from Ecuador to have won the Miss Earth crown. This very kind queen did not bother to mind the negative things thrown at her after she won. The two issues thrown at her was her supposed surgery and her gown. She nicely addressed these issues and left no hard feelings. The answer that made her win the Miss Earth crown in 2016 was : “If you were selected as Miss Earth 2016, what would be your program to protect Mother Earth from climate change?" ANSWER : “I truly believe in the 5 R's, which is re-think, reduce, re-use, recycle and respect. Because I believe that as human beings, if we apply that to our everyday lives, we can make a change and we will reduce the problem that we have just mentioned. If we apply that to our everyday lives, I believe that we as humans can save the place we live in, which is our Mother Earth.”

ANGELIA ONG MISS EARTH 2015 FULL PERFORMANCE

MISS EARTH 2015 : Angelia Ong's first venture in national beauty pageant was in Binibini. She was an official candidate of Binibining Pilipinas 2011.

She was candidate number 7. Though her journey in Binibini did not turn out well as she was not called as part of the semifinalists, she did not go home empty handed.

JAMIE HERRELL MISS EARTH 2014 FULL PERFORMANCE

The question and answer followed and Jamie was asked by former Akbayan lawmaker Risa Hontiveroz : "Do you think that we, human beings, have been good children to Mother Earth?"

In fact, I believe that we are the number one cause of her problems, we are the reason why we're having climate change, and we are the reason why we're having floods. But in return, if we can only help her and salvage her, she will help us back and take care of us too, thanks." With that answer, she rightfully earned the title of Miss Philippines Earth 2014.

KAREN GALLMAN MISS INTERCONTINENTAL 2018 FULL PERFORMANCE

KAREN GALLMAN : Before she won the Bb Pilipinas Intercontinental 2018, she first joined way back in 2012. The same year when Janine Tugonon won the MUP and MJ Lastimosa was a semi finalist. Being young and against the pageant veterans, she took the journey as experience for a better future. On that year, she won the Miss Photogenic award and was part of the semi finalist. 6 years later, her face resurfaced the Binibining Pilipinas office and filed her application. This Kendal Jenner look a like drew attentions from the pageant fans. She became a front runner from the get go. Along with Catriona and Ahtisa. 2018 Batch was really strong and it was difficult to stand out against Catriona Gray. Karen maintained her momentum as one of the front runners. On the official numbering, she was candidate number 38. So after the rigorous pre-pageant activities, here came the coronation night. Every one has their own bets. The special awards were dominated by Catriona ensuring and cementing her status as the one to beat and as the MUP. Other girls did not give up and gave Catriona a run for her money. One of them was Karen Gallman. She fought a good fight until the end. Her answer to the question and answer was very controversial. She was asked, “Do you agree that a third restroom should be built for transgenders? Why or why not? She answerred , “I definitely agree there should be a third restroom for transgender because as women, we would like privacy, and also with men. We have a separate room for the transgenders to serve as equality and privatization." With this answer, she was awarded with Binibining Pilipinas Intercontinental 2018. The 47th Miss Intercontinental pageant was hosted by Japan, but held in the Philippines. This is one pageant that Philippines always ended up as the bridesmaid.

ANN COLIS : When she won Bb Tourism, she accepted the fact the she didn't have a pageant to join. Her predecessor, Parul Shah, was not able to compete in International Pageant as the one she was supposed to compete did not push through. So when BPCI acquired the license of MGI, Parul Shah was sent. I remember Ann was crying when Madam Stella gave her a good news. So when BPCI conducted a press conference for a special announcement, it was then revealed that Parul will be sent to MGI and Ann to MG. This young beautiful lady easily conquered the Globe as she was hailed Miss Globe 2015. The first crown for the PH under BPCI. Her journey to The Miss Globe was a very exciting one. Being the appointed representative of the Philippines to the Miss Globe, it was a delight to watch her journey. Simply because we have sent a Miss Universe PH caliber delegate to this pageant. When I saw the photos of her competition, I was immediate to say she had no competition when it comes to the face value. She was the first to compete among the 2015 Batch. Miss Globe is a new pageant to the Pinoy pageant fans though we have won in the past courtesy of Maricar Balagtas (though I am not sure if it is the same pageant as Ann Colis). Many pinoys watched the online show and was really supportive. On the coronation night, Ann walked with beautifully hand painted national costume. It perfectly suited her beautiful face. Next round was the swimsuit competition wherein she donned a one side hairstyle with her well improved pasarela. The evening gown followed. Her gown was okay and some pinoy fans noticed that it was kind of not fit to her body which for me didn’t matter. She delivered a good performance. So on the announcement of top 15, she was called the 7th. The top 15 semifinalists then walked on a white gown. Ann was immaculate on her white gown. She was called the last on the top 5 finalists. Her question and answer was : What qualities do women possess that make them great leaders?

LEREN MAE BAUTISTA 2ND RU THE MISS GLOBE 2019 FULL PERFORMANCE

LEREN MAE BAUTISTA : This beauty queen has already experienced to be an international title holder. Prior to her stint in Binibining Pilipinas, she already won a national title which is Mutya ng Pilipinas Tourism Queen of the Year International. She represented the Philippines in Malaysia on New Year's eve where she won the Miss Tourism Queen of the Year International 2015/2016. In Mutya ng Pilipinas 2015, it was very obvious that Leren was among the contenders. Having to bag 2 special awards such as Best in Swimsuit, Evening Gown, and Mutya ng Sheridon Resort & Spa and Mutya ng Hana during the pre-pageant and coronation night. It was the the question and answer who would be the top winner between Leren and Janela Joy. During the final round of questions, Bautista was asked Which tourist spot best describe your personality and why. The best tourist spot that would describe my personality would be my province, province of Laguna, because in my province I want to share the values I’ve gained from my province of LAGUNA which is being responsible, responsible for myself, responsible for my family and responsible that will benefit others as well,” she replied. With this answer she edged out another front runner Janela Joy. On her journey to her international assignment, she bested 50 other candidates to claim the top crown. The pageant was held in Malaysia on New Year's eve. So after she finished her reign in Mutya and Miss Tourism Queen, it took her two years to finally decide to join another national pageant. She decided to join the 2019 Binibining Pilipinas edition representing Laguna. Leren was off the radar during the start of the pre-pageant activities. This did not let her just give up the fight. Slowly but surely she started to peak where it really mattered. So on the coronation night, she was included on the top 15 because of her superb performances during the swimsuit and evening gown portion. Leren was the last to be called on the Q&A because of

EVOLUTION OF MISS UNIVERSE CROWN

EVOLUTION OF MISS UNIVERSE CROWN : The crown of Miss Universe has changed twelve times over the course of its 70-year history. 1. Romanov Imperial Nuptial Crown (1952) as the first crown, was previously owned by the now-defunct Russian monarchy. It was used by Armi Kuusela in 1952. 2. Romanov Diadem Crown or Metal Bronze Crown (1953) — When Christiane Martel of France became Miss Universe 1953, the nuptial crown was replaced by a metallic bronze crown. She was the only Miss Universe titleholder to wear this crown. 3. Star of The Universe (1954–60) — This crown was used from 1954 to 1960. It was named as such due to the star shape at the top of the crown. It is made up of approximately 1,000 Oriental cultured and black pearls set in solid gold and platinum and only weighed 1.25 pounds. It was insured for US$500,000. 4. Lady Rhinestone Crown (1961–1962) — This crown was purely made from rhinestones, debuting in 1961 as part of the 10th anniversary of the Miss Universe pageant. Only Marlene Schmidt from Germany and Norma Nolan from Argentina wore this crown. 5. Coventry Crown (1963 - 1972) — In 1963, renowned jeweler Sarah Coventry reinvented the rhinestone crown which featured a female figure (holding a scepter) as its main centerpiece. The cheaper cost of its rhinestone design made it possible to create exact replicas of the crown to be given to outgoing titleholders. 6. Chandelier Crown (1973 - 2001) — The design was slightly modified in 1973 for the wearer's convenience, and was dubbed as The Lady Crown. This was used until 2002, when Denise Quinones became its last crown holder before relinquishing her role as Miss Universe, and the Mikimoto Pearl company accepted the offer to sponsor a commemorative crown for the Miss Universe Organization during the same year's 50th overall edition for the pageant. 7. Mikimoto Crown (2002–2007; 2017–2018) — used from 2002 to 2007 for the 50th commemorative anniversary of the Miss Universe organization
