Nakalimutan ko pala toh.
My mom was watching Miss Earth - Philippines and during the final round, the five remaining candidates were asked this question:
"How will you explain global warming to a little earth angel?"
And their answers were just frustrating. They're supposed to be the protectors of the environment and they didn't even know what they were talking about. Any EnviSci student of Ma'am Andaya would have laughed at their answers. hahaha. Not everyone are Pisay graduates, but hey, you're joining a pageant about the environment, so you should do your homework.
I am not really sure what significance a beauty pageant has in the cause to save the Earth. People look at them not for the cause they fight for but for their looks and charm. The pageant itself and the candidates do not seem to live up to the advocacy of Earth protection - given the resources spent to make such an event happen. I'm only judging from my limited exposure to the activities of Miss Earth. I guess it helps the cause but there's a lot more they can do.

Yo, Rob.
Friend ng ate ko yung Miss Earth 2006 - si Ate Kathy Untalan. Na-meet ko na siya ang talagang active siya sa mga activities for the environment-- tree planting, seminars, etc. =) Intellectual siya at hindi siya isang babaeng maganda ngunit mababaw. =)
