Miss Earth 2022: Final Predictions

Tomorrow evening, Miss Earth 2022 is set to crown its new winner after two years of conducting its Finals virtually. This year, part of the preliminaries were done digitally. But for the most part of the edition, a return to physical pageantry was successfully organized by Carousel Productions here in Manila and around the Philippines.

Eighty-seven (87) ladies are aspiring to become the successor of Destiny Wagner. And from this large roster, I have taken the liberty of making a forecast (see photo grid above):

Among my five (5) top-tier choices, two Latinas, two from Asia-Oceania and one from Europe are looking at possibly winning the crown. And I am confidently placing my bets on anyone among them taking it all the way.

Sheyla Ravelo Perez of Cuba, Sheridan Mortlock of Australia, Andrea Aguilera of Colombia, Mina Sue Choi of Korea and Merel Hendriksen of the Netherlands are on spot to fill up the highest positions in the ultimate honor roll. And I would be happy having one of them being named Miss Earth 2022.

Among potential spoilers, my second-tier selection could provide a winner or two in the podium finish. A placement by Jenny Ramp of the Philippines is welcome but not highly anticipated. I would give stronger chances to Liliya Levaya of Belarus, Ekaterina Velmakina of Russia and Sakhile Dube of Zimbabwe.

In the end, I predict the Cuban, Australian or Colombian as big winner. And a Top 4 ranking for the Korean would really put a smile on my face.

Watch the #MissEarth2022 Final Show and Coronation LIVE on Globovision (Venezuela, Latin America and the Caribbean) and on facebook.com/MissEarth, youtube.con/@MissEarth and on kumu.live/MissEarthOfficial (worldwide).

Special telecast on A2Z (Philippines) on December 4 and TFC (worldwide) on December 10.

Miss Grand International 2022 Queens visit Manilaā€™s Historic Spots

Actor/director David Chua acted as the official tour guide for the Miss Grand International 2022 contingent who visited Manila recently in commemoration of Miss Grand Philippinesā€™ official media launch.

Along with his security detail, David brought them to some of Manilaā€™s acclaimed tourist destinations, including Fort Santiago, Rizal Park and the National Museum.

Fresh from the success of the Miss Grand Philippines media launch last Thursday evening, November 24 at Hilton Manila, the VIP delegates of Miss Grand International (MGI) headed by its President/CEO Nawat Itsaragrisil, COO Teresa Chaivisut and contingent of MGI 2022 winning queens enjoyed every bit of their Manila tour.

The contingent of queens, led by Miss Grand International 2022 (Brazil) Isabella Menin, was comprised of 2nd Runner-Up Andina Julie (Indonesia), 3rd Runner-Up Luiseth Materan (Venezuela), 4th Runner-Up Mariana Beckova (Czech Republic), and 5th Runners-up Roberta Angela Tamondong (Philippines), Pich Votey Saravody (Cambodia), Priscilla Nicole LondoƱo, Oxana Isabel Rivera Alvarez (Puerto Rico) and Hirisley Jimenez (Spain).

Prior to the tour, the group also visited the Manila North Cemetery as part of their ongoing charity initiatives for the displaced families living there.

The queens, mostly first-time Manila visitors, were amazed to learn of the Philippinesā€™ rich and colorful history, and couldnā€™t help but express their admiration for the Filipinosā€™ resilience for having gone through successive colonization periods.

David fondly talks about his brief but very meaningful conversations with Nawat.

ā€œHe rode with me in the car, so I had the chance to have a genuine conversation with him. Heā€™s very straight to the point. What he wants, heā€™ll do. Thatā€™s what I admired about him. And I was surprised that he still remembers the streets inside the cemetery, where they dropped off some of their relief goods. Thatā€™s Nawat. What you see is what you get. Totoong tao siya,ā€ David remarked.

The chinito actor, who was last seen in the GMA-7 teleserye Mano Po Legacy: The Family Fortune, also enjoyed his bonding moments with reigning MGI 2022 queen Isabella Menin and official PH delegate and 5th runner-up Roberta Tamondong.

David also recounts how the queens enjoyed their Jollibee stopover. Guess what they loved the most? ChickenJoy!!!

For the final leg of their Manila tour, the MGI 2022 queens did a mall show at Ayala Malls Circuit in Makati City on Saturday, November 26.
