As is usual with Miss Philippines Earth 2012, I shall now present my Top 16 Favorites for the Finals scheduled this coming Sunday night (May 27) at the SM Mall of Asia Center Stage. In alphabetical order, they are:
Miss Mun. of Alaminos, Ariella Arida
Miss Bacolod City, Dianne Dreyfus
Miss Fil-Belgium, Roxanne Corluy
Miss Mun. of Cabugao, Dorothy Joy Pagurayan
Miss Mun. of Daraga, Ina Dominica Guerrero
Miss Mun. of Indang, Jaydielou Dilidili
Miss Makati City, Abbygale Rey
Miss Mun. of Marilao, Aufelyn Zabala
Miss Muntinlupa City, Kathleen Subijano
Miss Negros Oriental, Glenna Christina Duch
Miss Quezon City, Stephany Dianne Stefanowitz
Miss Mun. of San Fernando, Romblon Margaret May Llavor
Miss Mun. of San Francisco, Cebu Princess Manzon
Miss San Juan City, Samantha Purvor
Miss Tabuk City, Glennifer Perido
Miss Vigan City, Candice Ramos
From this group of 16, it becomes fairly easy to come up with my Top 8 ladies, in random order:
Miss Vigan City, Candice Ramos
Miss Bacolod City, Dianne Dreyfus
Miss Negros Oriental, Glenna Christina Duch
Miss Tabuk City, Glennifer Perido
Miss Muntinlupa City, Kathleen Subijano
Miss Fil-Belgium, Roxanne Corluy
Miss San Juan City, Samantha Purvor
Miss Quezon City, Stephany Dianne Stefanowitz
Now here is where it gets tougher. Assigning Elements plus the Eco-Tourism title can be tricky because the final Q&A will most likely define the order by which the Five (5) winners will be ranked. But just to put in my prediction for the finals, my Top 5 would look like this:
My Predicted Winners:
Miss Philippines Earth 2012: SAMANTHA PURVOR
Miss Philippines Air 2012: GLENNIFER PERIDO
Miss Philippines Water 2012: STEPHANY DIANNE STEFANOWITZ
Miss Philippines Fire 2012: DIANNE DREYFUS
Miss Philippines Eco-Tourism 2012: GLENNA CHRISTINA DUCH
The circle of Top 5 can go different ways, so anybody among my personal 5 picks would make a deserving winner.
At this point, I can only wish the ladies the best of luck, and may the best environmentally-attuned beauty represent us in Miss Earth 2012 in Indonesia! 😉

This girl, Duch has become my favorite after Venus Raj—beautiful although not as ravishing as Raj. Well, that could be acquired but I really think that she’s way eloquent, knowledgeable and confident so strong enough to make a smashing representation in the international arena.

I have a feeling Glenna Duch will take the top crown. For the past two years, the MPE winners were cute, short, and articulate. Duch fits the profile. A lot of people would be upset again. Thankfully, she is faically superior than both Psyche and Athena.
I hope they won’t establish that kind of trending for winners because there is international representation. If Duch is really the best, then so be it. Otherwise, let the most qualified lady win so that we’ll have both a smart and physically competitive bet in Indonesia.
