For the Boholana aspirants for the 2015
Miss Philippines Earth title, the journey started yesterday with the screening
of applicants at the Activity Center of
Island City Mall.
There was palpable excitement while waiting for the activity to start. The organizers showed a looped video of the winning performance of reigning Miss Philippines 2014 Jaime Herell in the international finals of Miss Earth 2014.
Your Blogger was invited as one of the
three judges that were given the arduous task of trimming or winnowing the hopefuls to ten
ladies who will be the official candidates for the inaugural search of Bohol’s
first official candidate in the Miss Philippines- Earth Pageant.
Joining me in
the judging panel were Mark Cepe, a GMA 7 talent/ businessman & talented
Boholano director/ mentor Michael Tago.
Here’s the criteria used to guide the
judges in coming up with the final list:
Beauty of the face & legs 50%
Intelligence (Environmental knowledge)
50%
After each of the girls had their individual
appearance onstage in a smart casual wear, we proceeded with our questions for
the girls. After the interview, the girls had their final appearance and this
time, in swimsuits of their choice.
This is not the first time that a
Boholana will be competing in Miss Philippines Earth. There have been other
girls who were appointed as candidates to represent their towns like Dr. Aileen
Dango who represented Loboc and Soraya Hasani who represented Loay. There was
Zanaida Bulalaque of Batuan who competed in the national finals in 2012. Amanda
Arbitrario also competed in Miss Philippines 2014 but she represented Caloocan
City.
Right now, I’m not in the liberty to divulge the names of the qualifiers so we will leave the official announcement from the organizers. Ritchell Mutia, Marketing Officer from ICM, bared that the chosen candidates will have a series of fun activities that will focus on the environment & on the girls' advocacy projects. The provincial finals will be on March 29 at the ICM Activity Center.
