Finally, another reason for the municipality of Bien Unido to smile and to rejoice!.  Abegail “Abby” Ampong who represented Bien Unido in Bohol’s search for its Miss Philippines Earth 2018 bet shone bright during the grand coronation and earned the right to spotlight her town and the province in the nationwide finals of Miss Philippines Earth 2018.  

The 22 year old licensed teacher who is currently a sub teacher at one of the top educational institutions in the city was also named as Best in Interview and had the Best Eco Video.  

During the screening for official candidates a month ago where Your Roving Eye was one of the judges, Ms. Ampong was clearly one of the top candidates. She was a very polished candidate from the poses, the stance and of course, she clearly aced the Q & A where environmental awareness was an important factor. After all, the Miss Philippines Earth Pageant is dedicated to preserving & protecting Mother Earth.

DURING SCREENING: Your Roving Eye correctly predicted the Top Four

Ms. Ampong’s Elemental Court included Loay’s Rizalee Rose Razo MPE Air & Miss Photogenic, Dauis’ Maria Shella Maestrado MPE Water and Tagbilaran City’s Jean Kathleen Gran MPE Fire, Best in Swimsuit & Best in Evening Gown.
