During the Moment for the Earth event at the Best Western F1 Premier Hotel, the Miss Earth 2012 candidates each presented auction gifts from their respective countries in the hopes of raising the highest bids from the special guests in attendance. Miss Venezuela Osmariel Villalobos brought a long-stem blue-and-gold necklace made of precious stones. One bidder must be enormously charmed by the gorgeous Latina that he ended up bringing home the said item. It fetched an amount of PHP210,000.00 (a little over US$5,000.00), the night’s best.
All proceeds will go to the various charitable and environmental projects of Miss Earth Foundation.

Philippines, Indonesia and Guatemala: non-winning National Costumes but still worth citing. (Photo credit: Bruce Casanova/OPMB Worldwide)
Meanwhile, the lovely ladies paraded in their National Costumes during the same gathering. While it was already reported that Miss Thailand Warrathaya Wongchayaporn snatched the Gold with her traditional yet elaborately inspiring get-up, there were other non-winning creations that deserve to be mentioned. Three particular standouts were the ones worn by Misses Philippines Stephany Stefanowitz, Indonesia Chelsy Liven and Guatemala Stefany Miranda.

Mrs. Philippines????
Madam Jade! Misses yun! Plural ba at tatlo sila. 🙂
kuya norman-bakit laging filipiniana?quite repetitive.pero maganda yung kay stefany.why dont they make a malay-inspired costume?like marian rivera dtess in amaya.
I agree that the Filipiniana can be boring no matter how creative the cut, material and styling are. It could be that Stephany’s designer prefers this traditional attire than going tribal or something else.
Osmariel is every inch ready to take home the crown.
But as we all know the determiner in Miss Earth is the final question,and this is the weakness of the Venezuelans.
A top4 finish for her is by no doubt very possible, but hopefully she ends up as the Big Winner.
