Ang mga kandidata sa Miss Earth Philippines 2023 kasama si Mary Grace Juliano
ANG astig ni Miss Earth Philippines candidate Joselle Gregorio ma mula sa Mariveles, Bataan. Wala siyang sariling sasakyan kaya naman nag-Angkas na lang siya pauwi sa kanila.
Inakala naming may sasakyan si Joselle dahil naka-crop top, naka-boots hanggang tuhod at sobrang ikli ng shorts, pero nang dumating si rider ay saka lang nagsuot ng jacket para matakpan ang katawan sabay sakay sa motorsiklo with helmet.
Anyway, kasama ni Joselle sina Marie Aduana Yllana ng Siniloan, Laguna, Leahrly Curitana ng Casiguran, Aurora, Kerri Reilly mula sa Mangatarem, Pangasinan, Iris Mabanta of Mabini, Batangas, Shaina Nazario ng Silang, Cavite, Jireh Calacala ng Jones, Isabela at si Nicolle Lagera ng Fil-Com. of California, USA sa ginanap na meet and greet with Ms. Mary Grace Juliano, CEO, owner ng Queen’s Wellness and Beauty Center sa Quezon City.
Sa nasabing meet and greet ng Miss Earth Philippines candidates ay nabanggit nilang hindi sila pabor sa Kaliwa Dam project na nagkakahalaga ng P12.2 billion na itatayo sa Rizal.
Ayon kay Miss Laguna Yllana Aduana ay nagko-conduct siya ng seminars across Laguna para pag-usapan ito.
“As what I have read about it since I always have to share this to people, a lot of indigenous people are really being forced to be displaced from their homes just because of the Kaliwa Dam.
“So I feel like as beauty queens, we always have to ensure that we use this platforms so that the government would that really, when they institute a policy or a law that they do not have adverse effects to anything especially that I am from Laguna and we are very much directly affected because the Kaliwa Dam runs from Quezon, Laguna, Rizal and they are making a lot of roads in those areas,” paliwanag pa ng aspiring beauty queen.
Dagdag pa niya, “I would just like to use this platform to tell the people that we have a voice for a reason and we always have to give voice to the voiceless like the indigenous people, the animals, the endangered species, the lives that we have that are directly affected by it.
“We have to ensure that whatever the government is instituting, even if they have good intentions the positive should always outweigh the negative,” sabi ni Miss Laguna.
Disappointed naman si Miss Pangasinan, “I feel like we can do better and we can work on it. Maybe we can find more ways to getting more clean water for the people in Manila.”
“I feel like we can do better and we can work on it. Maybe we can find more ways to getting more clean water for the people in Manila.
“I think the government will also consider those environmental problem that will cost to our environment. Let us give them the decision to that and I think they will also consider environment problem it will cost,” katwiran naman ni Miss Bataan.
Si Leahrly Curitana ay tubong-Casiguran, Aurora at na-witness niya kung paano pinoprotektahan ng Sierra Madre ang buong Luzon laban sa mga bagyo.
“Personally, I was born and raised in Aurora, I would say that I’m against it not only because I’m part of who are against it. I studied in UP Diliman and I support their advocacies and consciousness in this certain issue.
“Being part of the people of Aurora I witnessed how the Sierra Madre have become a habitat for every species and I know that would not only destroy the habitat of every species living in there,” pahayag ng dalaga.
“It would also destroy livelihood of indigenous people who are surrounded by Sierra Madre. So I would say that I’m against it and kind of sad that it is still being pursued. I want to be able to be part of the groups who stand against it,” say pa ni Miss Aurora.
Ang professional diver na si Miss Mabanta ng Mabini, Batangas ay nagsabing, “Ang mahirap kasi ‘yung nasasagasaan ‘yung mga indigenous people. The thing is we have a lost resource, we definitely have other option that we can explore.
“We are full of smart people we are full of smart scientist in the Philippines and its best we can listen to them because they know what is best and they know where to get these resources from,” dugtong ng kandidata.
Say naman ni Miss Nicole Lagera ng California, USA, “I’m against it. That being said constructional dams can be damage in a natural way how the planet works, that being said, if you put up a dam it blocks natural flow of water the biodiversity the natural life in that area.
“I believe there are other ways to solve the water problems that doesn’t have to be dam necessarily and also there’s a lot of controversy around it especially with the indigenous people, they want to stop the building of the dam.
“I’m advocate for indigenous people so if they believe that it is something it shouldn’t pushed through, I’m all for it.”
Sabi naman ni Miss Cavite, Shaina, “My take on the Kaliwa Dam Project, I think it will not help the problems of the Philippines rather it will affect a lot of people, the livelihood and everyday life. So I think we can find alternative solution which is more sustainable and conservative.”
Samantala, kanya-kanyang pa-gluta drip naman ang mga kandidata para mas gumanda pa ang kanilang mga kutis para sa nalalapit na coronation night ng Ms Earth Philippines.
Sabi nga ng isang kandidata ay, “Their services include gluta drip, diamond facial, warts removal, stemcell, Korean glass skin, fat melter, lipo laser, underarms whitening, botox and noselift are okay.”
“We are genuinely committed to providing exceptional service, real results with a great value for money with our affordable and effective cosmetic injectable and skincare treatments.
