Miss Earth Philippines 2018 Celeste Cortesi brings out her Classic Goddess appeal in these shots taken by Owen Suan Reyes. She is wearing a green gown by Louis Pangilinan. Styling by Patrick Henry Mergano and makeup by Gio Lazaro Flores.

Our host delegate for Miss Earth 2018 is not letting the pressure of going for a back-to-back win to constantly hover every move she makes for the competition. She is taking things as they come, but makes sure that she gives her 100% in terms of performance.

What do you think of her, dear readers?

She was crowned as Bb. Pilipinas Tourism back in 2012 (along with Janine Tugonon for Miss Universe and Nicole Schmitz for Miss International). This year, Katrina Jayne Dimaranan is taking a big step forward after her appointment as Miss Supranational USA 2018.

US National Director for Miss Supranational Cecilio Asuncion has made a good move in giving Trina the chance to shine bright in the international pageant stage – something which she was unable to realize during her Bb. Pilipinas reign.

Congratulations are in order! May you and Bb. Pilipinas Supranational 2018 Jehza Huelar be the best of sisters in the competition!

At the poolside of Diamond Hotel Manila earlier in the day, the 88 Official Candidates of Miss Earth 2018 were presented to members of the media under the heat of what still looked like a summer sun. The number of arrivals was pegged at 90, but the entries of Ethiopia and Rwanda have yet to check in.

At any rate, there are so many beautiful faces in this batch of beauties. I hope that they also have the smarts and environmental savvy to go with it.

Unlike previous years, the organizers opted to do away with the voting for Darling of the Press. But even without such, it was already obvious who is being liked by most everyone. Early favorites are Telma Madeira of Portugal, Margo Faith Fargo of South Africa, Diana Carolina Silva of Venezuela, Diana Valdivieso og Ecuador, Melissa Flores of Mexico, Nirada Chetsadapriyakun of Thailand, Carolina Jane of Spain, Kristal Xamairy of Puerto Rico and Celeste Cortesi of the Philippines.

More photos of the Press Presentation soon!
