Miss Earth 2017 candidates pose at the press presentation at the poolside of The Diamond Hotel Philippines, October 30, 2017.
The candidates paraded by the pool in white two-piece swimsuits. Beyond their beauties and wit, they shared their slogans calling for everyone to recycle, re-think, reuse, and combat climate change issues.
The theme is "Ecotourism is a key to poverty alleviation," and "re-think," "re-use," "reduce," "recycle," and "respect."
At the International Environmental event hosted by Carousel Productions, Inc., Miss Earth 2017 beauties work together to have all nations unite in our joint efforts to help preserve and protect our one and only home: the Planet Earth.
Ms. Lorraine Schuck, Executive Vice President of Carousel Productions, Inc., shared:
“Everyone looks up to a superhero, especially the young ones. Superheroes have a strong presence in today’s pop culture. So what better way to connect with the new generation than to create a persona that they can easily identify with.”
Each delegate has her own hero alter ego, which will be revealed on the final night.
During the press presentation event, the Darling of the Press gold medal was given to Karen Ibasco of the Philippines, silver medal by Thailand's Paweensuda Drouin, and bronze for Abigail Chama of Zambia.
