when you are a goddess of beauty everyone else is enchanted, wherever you go and whoever you meet,gets bedazzled.that is what is happening now with the newly crowned miss earth philippines 2018 celeste cortesi and her court. left and right front and center everyone wants to have celeste as their guest, their model, featured in their magazine, casting agencies are literally scrambling to sign her. she has been very busy the activities are even divided among her elemental queens because celeste cannot be in two places at the same time. that is what you get when you have a winner that is globally beautiful and whose beauty will be appreciated by any audience not just a small section of society. miss earth philippines and her elemental court are the only national winners in the philippines who have activities almost on a daily basis, especially this year they are the most wanted queens ever. i do hope carousel this time sees the potential of having a facially beautiful winner take over the miss earth crown.
the miss earth philippines 2018 queens were special guests at the celebration of the independence day of the philippines which was graced by highest position of the republic, president rodrigo duterte.they are the only queens invited at this very important event with the most distinguished personalities held in kawit cavite where the independence of the philippines was first declared over spanish colonization in 1898.
during this significant event, the miss earth queens had a chance to meet and speak with the president of the philippines rodrigo duterte, the president was very impressed with celeste and the queens they were personally invited by the president to vist davao where he is from to promote tourism.thats what you get when you are beautiful and naturally charming, even presidents are captivated.
one thing that celeste brings to the table is her natural beauty that does not need tons of make up, a full team of stylists and photoshop abuse just to look decent. celeste is naturally gorgeous and she has a very charismatic aura and personality that one can easily relate to because she is spontaneous and very real. she is not like some robotic beauty queen that speaks like she is memorizing a line or reading a script. celeste is opening up new avenues for the miss earth philippines brand that the previous winners were unable to tap and that is commercial viability in media,modelling and entertainment.
this is celeste's recent full page feature on philippine star by ricky lo. celeste also was recently in tacloban city with miss air philippines zarah bianca saldua invited by the gorgeous mayor cristina gonzales romuladez to be judges at miss tacloban 2018. they also got to see some lovely spots around tacloban which tourists can also visit and enjoy.
since celeste was in tacloban, her elemental court miss water berjayneth hee and miss fire jean de jesus together with karen ibasco were assigned to grace the diamond hotel one of the major partners of miss earth during their filipino food festival.
this plus all the environemtnal activities they have to do have been a whirlwind of activities for celeste and her court. they participated in making eco bricks for building eco houses and were guests of honor too at the national coastguard authority that helps in protecting our seas from illegal activities and poachers that fish awaya endangered marine life.
as an avid miss earth supporter, i really do hope carousel will see the benefit of having a different type of winner for 2018 from previous, because it does give you a different take on spreading the message. environmenatl advocacy is miss earth's main core, before fame, before money or fortune, but as what celeste has shown, having a facially beautiful winner has its benefits and it opens new avenues that the pageant can explore , that previous winners cannot penetrate. this will be a win for the brand as well as the environment because it widens the network and possibilites the pageant can have, and that is always a good thing. getting the advocacy to people that previous winners cannot crack into are now open and the prospects are ever more positive and endless.
this is the no make up round for beauty of face last 2017, hopefully the winner for 2018 will be someone that tops or places in this criteria and also the other two prejudging areas, for her to be truly well rounded queen.
after almost 5 months of activities and pageantry guyana has crowned its earth goddess, and she is xamiera kippins. congratulations to the team from guyana who successfully launched its first exclusive pageant for miss earth with lots of meaningful environmental programs and very well supported by its governmnet. very well done and this signals the further growth of miss earth in guyana.

the most prestigious pageant in the netherlands sends its main winner to miss earth. get to know the lovesome candiates in this video.
another pageant exclusive for miss earth is miss earth indonesia , the pageant has started and will crown theie new queen soon.
miss earth slovenia pageant has been on for about 2 months now with the candidates doing lots of environmental activeites as well as the glamorous stuff pageants that makes pageants exciting. the winner receives a brand new car among other prizes as well. they have a specialized miss earth logo that distinguishes slovenia from the rest of the franchises and the new winner will wear a new crown patterned after the miss earth crown.
now let us go for some tidbits of information, pardon me for being blunt but what is all the fuss about bolivia? have they won a big 4 crown in the last 20 years or placed in the top 5 of any of the big 4 pageants? please they are insignificant and will remain thank you countries in pageantry. whatever they do wont matter to miss earth as they dont really matter in pageantry. for 2019 there is already a new applicant for bolivia and paraguay franchise and will create an exclusive pageant for miss earth. so good riddance to the current franchise holder , i cannot wait for miss earth to be out of their hands.i have info on their reasoning onthe debacle and request to accept their overaged delegate, what a lame excuse, who are you fooling. miss earth deserves a better director that honors the hardwork and advocacy of the pageant which ultimately benefits all mankind.miss earth never grew in their hands , im glad that there is another company that will grow it and make it the number one priority in those two countries, then maybe these two countries will start to matter.enough of those irrelevant clapper countries, i have given them enough space they dont even deserve , let us focus on good things, st kitts and nevis will debut in miss earth 2018 via TNA promotions, miss grenada pageant will send their main winner to miss earth 2018.the franhise from hungary for the last few years does not have the franchise for 2018, armenia will return to miss earth 2018 via the miss armenia pageant,kazakhstan will aso be returning for 2018 via the miss kazakhstan pageant , belarus is gauranteed to return as well.
cooperation between franchises continue as cesar anel rodriguez the franchise holder for panama will be a special guest at the miss earth colombia pageant. juliana franco miss water 2017 will be invited and help crown miss earth ecuador 2018 with katherine espin.
let us hold together earthlings as forces of evil both international and local are hand in hand trying their best to bring down miss earth. that means one thing though "trying to bring down" , which means miss earth is way above them . miss earth is stronger than ever and it will fight back not by playing dirty tactics and underground maneouvers but by staying true to its core values of integrity, honesty , fairness and genuine love to improve in its own way, the earth that we live in.
miss earth philippines chose a goddess of beauty for 2018, does this mean a facially beautiful winner is going to win miss earth 2018? will the greek goddess of beauty aphrodite triumph over the greek goddess of knowledge minerva? or will the roman goddess of knowledge athena once again annihilate the facets and charactresitics of venus the roman godddess of beauty ? the last few years the powers of athena has been invincible and ruled over the miss earth kingdom, the daughters of venus were no match for the strength of athena's offsprings. will 2018 herald the charm, allure and persuasion of venus take over and mesmerize the whole earth? miss earth is a beauty pageant,so isnt it fitting and about time the goddess of beauty attributes also is given the chance to make its mark on the miss earth platform?
miss earth philippines made the right choice crowning a facially beautiful and commercially viable winner for 2018. celeste was born in pasay city ,philippines and moved to italy where she eventually grew up. this is a sort of homecoming for her and rediscovering her roots as it is the first time she has come back to her birthplace and a sweet victory by winning the crown so deservingly.celeste is very different from previous miss earth philippines winners , goddess of beauty venus worked her extra magic perfectly on her, as she is blessed with one of the most beautiful and captivating face a filipina delegate ever possessed in pageantry.she has the face ,body, aura and overall appeal that can go from runway, to print, to commercial modelling, to high fashion, to showbusiness.hers is a versatile beauty and carousel has a good ambassadress in her as her market is different from the previous winners. she is the one that has the kind of beauty that appeals to majority of the population not just in the philippines but the whole earth in general. her beauty is one that is globally aprreciated and not something that only caters to a certain group which sometimes can be very divisive and questionable. she speaks italian as her main language and even if she struggles in english , she delivered an honest matter of fact answer during the final question. she was the only one that gave concrete solutions and did not rely on memorized cliche answers like" we have to protect mother earth".she answered the question and did not resort on adding flowery words that are often memorized and mistaken as being inteligent when in fact it was just something they already prepared during training. that is what sets her apart too, she is obviously not pageant patty , which makes her even more beautiful as she is not contrived and robotic.
celeste has a very fun, innocent , positive personality that is very lovable and something new. she doesnt have the stiff ,cookie cutter " world peace" "save mother earth" overly trained beauty queen image and to me that is very refreshing.
karen ibasco missearth 2017 winner was in the beautiful resort city of manzanillo ,colima in mexico getting the royal treatment and enjoying the beautiful sights, sounds as well as the cuisine of this rich cultural mosaic that is mexico. she is accompanied by miss earth-water 2017 juliana franco from colombia and they have immersed themselves in all the wonderful activities organized by national director paul marsell.miss earth mexico supported by the tourism department of colima has really made a special pageant for 2018. the ladies are treated like royalty with various activities that will be considered priceless experiences in their lives.
miss earth mexico had a very successful pageant which ran for almost three weeks. it had a very festive and celebratory atmosphere showcasing the culture and beauty of manzanillo. the activities mirror the international pageant and even their prejudging had the no make up interview.mexico is one of the countries ripe to win their first crown, unfortunately they always struggle in finding the right winner. jalisco would have been an amazing winner and i can totally see winning the international crown, she was beautiful, tall, had a great body ,excellent stage presence, engaging personality and has superstar charisma.sadly she settled for second place, the winner though has the raw goods, she has potential but she needs major training in stage presence, public speaking to have more winning personality ,and she has some physical transformation that needs to be done to be really ready, i hope she does develop into a stalwart competitor.
for the first time costa rica has produced a pageant exclusive for miss earth, after their impressive come back last year with fernanda rodriguez , the national director has establised its first ever miss earth costa rica pageant and it was an excellent start with multiple activites and well supported by sponsors. this pageant will enhance the further growth of the miss earth name in costa rica as well as introduce the wonderful nature of costa rica to the world.the new winner is the beautiful linda avila with one of the hottest and toned body i have seen. she will be costa rica's prime earth warrior who will promote the cause of the miss earth pageant in her country.
a lot of miss earth fans have asked me about a recent pageant that treated the miss earth title very bad , well i know what happened behind the scenes but i would rather not waste anytime on a pageant that does not honor the miss earth title and would easily get swayed by free trips,dirty money and under the table dealings to just to maneouver the rankings in favor of a sham pageant.miss earth does not resort to blackmail tactics just to get ahead, they are secure with their position and would rather focus on working for their advocacies than going around national pageants to do this and do that. these national pageants that honor these kinds of tactics have no integrity are a waste of time and i would rather focus on the franchises that honor the miss earth title with respect, dignity and integrity.prime example is the miss korea pageant, the owner of miss korea pageant was recently at the carousel productions office to renew the franchise for miss earth 2018 and it was discussed that the main winner of miss korea pageant , the biggest and most established pageant in korea will be sent to miss earth 2018. miss earth korea 2017 hannah lee was also present during the meeting between carousel productions and miss korea organization.
the biggest and most established pageant in the netherlands also sends it major winner to miss earth, they have already started their prepageant activities and the whole team will travel to france for training and group bonding. last year they placed in the top 8 and this year is another impressive line up of beauties who can continue their placementstreak at the international pageant.
miss earth netherlands chooses its candidates from regional pageants , so it is the only national pageant in the netherlands where every region is represented and candidates have to win several heats before they can even compete for the national title. environmental work is also very well entrenched in all their activities and the candidates do their own initiatives to make a good environmental project. the netherlands is one of the most environmnetally conscious country and they have really made their nature sustainable with good balance of development and protection, so they are a perfect country to win the miss earth title.
man of the world winner mustafa elezali will be the youngest national director for miss earth, let us all welcome him as the new national director for miss earth in egypt.
karen ibasco will be a special guest for the coronation night of miss earth singapore 2018 from august 2-4, there are some good line up at this years competition and nice to see karen having lots of travel itinerary internationally. other scheduled trips are colombia august 19-26 and belgium in september.
miss earth is one big family, the pageant promotes good camarederie and cooperation with all the candidates ,the sponsors, the fans and everyone involved. its a good thing to see even the national directors are helping each other and have developed a bond within the miss earth organization. during the wedding of miss earth venezuela national director prince julio cesar and his husband rafael ingganamonte, the national directors of mexico paul marsell and colombia elias tobon were present to support.for the miss earth mexico finals prince julio was a judge during preliminaries as well as finals night.
miss earth 2013 alyz henrich did a collaboartion with the national director of vietnam to do high fashion shoot in new york and alyz was a cover girl of two fashion magazines as a result of this collaboration between two miss earth national directors.
miss earth 2015 angelia ong was recently an invited speciall guest to a media launch in vietnam where she graced the occasion with current international male pageant winners, mister international 2017, mister global 2017 and manhunt international 2017.
now for some tidbits of info, is it true that because of the theme goddesses for 2018 there will be a change in criteria for judging? will a facially beautiful winner finally get the crown for 2018? well judging from the winner of the miss earth philippines 2018 , it will hopefully carry on to miss earth as well. so directors should be careful in choosing their candidates, it seems from the recent selections, their criteria was based on last years victory.will they regret choosing a candidate based on the warrior theme of 2017? when miss earth 2018 is looking for a goddess of beauty? regarding the host country, as far as i know , philippines is still the host country although there is one bidder , this month will be ocular inspection on country bidding. carousel has upped the requirements to host the pageant so it is tougher to get hosting rights, so as not to repeat what happened in 2015.for me no other country can beat philippines as host , so i will be very happy if the filipinos get to welcome the miss earth 2018 delegates again.
