The first ever Mr. and Miss Cosmos 2020 pageant
kicked off with the start of online screening of applicants, single or married
men and women, 20 to not more than 45 years old. The search, which focuses on
promoting space awareness, is produced by New Space Age, Inc. and is being
presented by the Prime Event Productions Philippines (PEPPs) Foundation, owner
of the Man of the World and producer of the annual Misters of Filipinas search.
The Mr. and Ms. Cosmos organization and New Space
Age, Inc., in partnership with PEPPs Foundation, aims to intensify national
awareness of the growing space industry through a series of events during the
National Personality search.
“There are so many pageants that promote different
causes but none for Space Education and Cosmos Awareness which are huge help
for natural disaster risk countries like the Philippines,” said Don Moral,
owner of New Space Age, Inc. “As early as 1960’s, there were efforts for a
joint US – Philippines Space Program to monitor storms in Asia but up to now,
we are still lagging behind because of the lack of interest for “Space
Technology and Awareness,” Moral explained.
The winners of Mr. and Ms. Cosmos Philippines 2020
will be the country’s representatives in the upcoming Mr. and Ms. Cosmos 2020
Finals, which will be joined by international delagates. ( Report
