It doesn’t happen all the time that three of our biggest national pageants run alongside each other simultaneously. And the month of April will have their much-awaited Press Presentations happening in close intervals.

First, Miss Philippines Earth 2023 will have its turn on April 3 (Monday) at the Lime Hotel and Resort in Pasay City.

Next up will be Miss Universe Philippines 2023 that will formally introduce the candidates to the public via their own Press Presentation after Holy Week – or on April 11 if plans don’t change at the last minute.

Finally, Binibining Pilipinas 2023 comes in third with theirs on April 28. This event usually takes place at the Novotel Manila Araneta City. And I don’t see the venue changing for this edition.

It will be an uber busy month for pageant lovers and pageant media like us!

Sha’uri Livori: An Earth Warrior from Down Under

Sha’uri Livori: An #EarthWarrior from Down Under

This 19 year-old from the Filipino Community of Melbourne has a very interesting multi-hyphenated mix. Her father is Italian-Maltese. Her mother is Filipina-Chinese-Islander Aboriginal. Blend them all together and you get a vibrant beauty who is currently taking up Professional Writing and Editing with plans of specializing in Public Relations after.

As an Official Candidate of Miss Philippines Earth 2023, Sha’uri (pronounced as Sha-ray) is advocating for solid waste management – an environmental practice that is fully utilized in her home country. She admits to being a nerdy person outside of the spotlight, but can break out into a song when asked to. In fact, singing will be her talent for the pageant.

Watch my one-on-one interview with Sha’uri below.
