Little Earth Angels 2017 crowned


Erica Mae Nate, a 10-year-old, Grade 4 of Kabayanan Elementary School, bested more than 15 kids-representatives from the different provinces and topped the Miss Philippines Earth 2017 – Little Earth Angels finals held recently at Eurotel Vivaldi in Cubao, Quezon City.

The San Juan City girl, youngest among three siblings who dreams to become a beauty queen, won the judges’ nod when she answered that she would plant trees which absorb carbon dioxide to help curve smoke belching cars during the question-and-answer round of the pageant.  “This is the first pageant that I joined and we prepared a lot for the Q&A since it is an important part of the judging,” said the ever-smiling and lady-like young beauty.

The judges included Miss Philippines Earth 2016 Loren Mar Artajos, with her court, Miss Fire Shannon Bridgman, Miss Eco-Tourism Melanie Mader and Miss Air Kiara Giel Gregorio and Manila Standard beauty expert Eton Concepcion.

The candidates were introduced on stage accompanied by the candidates of Miss Philippines Earth 2017 representing their respective provinces. The Little Earth Angels, presented by Carousel Productions, Inc., has been held since 2007 concurrently with the Miss Philippines Earth pageant, with the goal to inspire and get involved young children in environmental awareness, an advocacy of the annual Miss Philippines Earth pageant. The Little Earth Angels winners serve as Little Earth Ambassadors year-round activities for the protection and preservation of the environment around the country.  Words by Eton Concepcion/ Photos by Lito Caleon
