Gearing Up for Ms. Philippines Earth 2012: An Analysis

To understand Miss Earth Philippines, you have to understand the force behind it – Carousel Productions.

The thing is, this team isn’t like other pageant organizers. If you look at the past winners of both Miss Earth Philippines and Miss Earth, you’d notice that most of the work the winners have is actually after the pageant itself. Basically, the point is, Carousel Prod., actually sticks to its advocacies and does use its queens as much as they could to forward their vision. Take Miss Earth 2011, Olga of Ecuador. She’s considered the “Busiest Queen” of 2011. So were Larissa and Nicole before her.

This adherence to their advocacy has a multitude of implications to the pageant itself. And so many goddesses were dropped because of this.

Criteria (based on past competitions and winners)

1.       Smart/Witty – compare Ms. Tanzania 2008 to eventual winner, Karla Henry. Consider also, Jennifer Pazmino to Nicole Faria of 2010. There is also the inclusion of Bokang Montjane in 2007. And Athena Imperial’s triumph in the national pageant in 2011. Since of course, they need a functional ambassador, they’d really need someone who has something between their ears. Other examples: Jessika Trisko, Dania Mendez and Winfred Omakwe

2.       Sweet and Pleasant – This is a major result of how Carousel works. Of course they’d want a queen who is easier to deal with, than a crazy primadonna.  This is considered to be why a lot of Goddesses lose out in the completion. The organizers always weed out the bitches. Take Sarka, Ms Czech Rep. 2011, the heavy favorite for the crown. And the inclusion of the plain Ms. Taiwan. The thing with this is it’s not about being nice to get in, but about not being a bitch so you can stay in. Other Examples: Alexandra Braun, Pricilla Mereiles, Karla Henry, Nicole Faria, Olga Alava.

3.       Presentation over Body – Take how Sandra Seifert won most major awards even though Misses Brazil and Venezuela were superior physically. It’s not about the machine, it’s how it’s driven. Jessica Trisko wasn’t even beautiful, but her ramp was. Hill Hernandez of Chile was only “okay” compared to the Ms. India that time. But the way they presented themselves won over their lack in the body department.

These considered, you go on look and read about the MPE candidates for 2012 and see if any fit the 

bill.

My Front-runner so far is Ms. Negros Oriental – Glenna Duch.
