What will you do if your inside a ship stuck for almost a day with 29 and more beautiful ladies? I think I know what you are thinking … But in my case, I was working on that moment so I can’t really think of any answer to that question. (corny!)
With Miss Earth 2014 Candidates, Ms. US Virgin Islands, Ms. Spain, Ms. Philippines, Ms. Tanzania, Ms. South Africa, Rodel Flordeliz, Ms. Tahiti, Ms. Slovak Republic, Ms. Zimbabwe & Ms. Puerto Rico
I was asked to do a BTS (behind the scene) shoot for 2Go Travel, (Will post the edited BTS of our adventure here soon) as they bring the candidates of Miss Earth Pageant 2014 to Cebu City. The 29 (partial) candidates rode with me in the ship along with some staff and team leaders from Carousel Productions (The team who organizes Ms. Earth Beauty Pageant).
Headed by Executive Director Princess Manzon, as Director of Campaigns and Advocacy, MISS EARTH FOUNDATION, INC. works with the local and international groups and non-governmental organizations that are also actively involved in worthwhile environmental causes.
It was a nice choice that I made I guess, first because It’s work, I get paid. Second, I got to travel for free. Third, it’s an opportunity to meet different races inside one ship!
It was a tiring yet fun 22 hours of travel, work and play with the ladies of Miss Earth 2014. We dine together, had photo-shoots with them and even party till midnight.
I can say this batch really got some potentials. I could predict that one of the girls here could probably bagged the crown which will be revealed at the coronation night to be held on the 29th of November.
Here are some of my Miss Earth 2014 early favorites in no particular order:
- India – Ms. Alankrita Sahai
- Japan – Ms. Reina Nagata
- Northern Ireland – Ms. Justine McEleney
- Peru – Ms. Elba Fahsbender
- Philippines – Ms. Jamie Herrell
- Ms. Puerto Rico – Ms. Franceska Toro
- Slovak Republic – Ms. Daria Frabici
- South Africa – Ms. Ilze Saunders
- Spain – Ms. Zaira Bas
- US Virgin Island – Ms. Esonica Veira
