Having seen/reviewed all the Miss Universe Philippines 2020 candidates and their Passions that #NeverFade, I took the liberty of choosing my favorites among them. I short-listed these ones for different reasons – either close to my heart (subjective) or close to the heart of many (objective) as proven through the actual related activities that they have already started doing before and during the quarantine period:
Alaiza Malinao – Food Security and Sustainable Farming: she who has done a lot of help for the welfare of our farmers and the actual networking of fresh produce from farm to table.
Riana Pangindian – Holistic Well-Being of Teachers: she who has focused on the welfare of the individuals who lead inside the classroom instead of just the students who have always been cared for my many.
Sigrid Grace Flores – Philanthropic Revolution: she who has done Service for Others way before anyone else in the roster of candidates. Philanthropy is usually easier said than done, but she reversed the thought and made charitable acts easier done all the time.
Ericka Evangelista – Teen Empowerment: she who has actually helped mobilized the youth – especially during the quarantine period – with the #BaryaNiJuan project that benefitted more frontliners than initially imagined.
Pauline Amelinckx – Marine Conservation Through Arts: she who has carefully intertwined her love for the sea and love for the children in an advocacy that brings equal amounts of hope and joy to many.
Michele Gumabao – Empower the Youth Through Sports: she who personifies her cause to the max. As a high-achieving athlete, television personality and social media influencer, she used her unique platforms to the best that she can.
Patricia Mae Santos – Women Empowerment: she who transformed the meaning of her advocacy to greater heights by partnering with the Armed Forces of the Philippines for a wider hands-on reach to remote areas while promoting her personal love for reading as a side activity by giving out books for people to read and appreciate.
Skelly Ivy Florida – Inclusive Education: she who has been appointed by her Island Province to be a beacon of hope in a project that aims to include all children – regardless of skin color and mental restrictions – in the mainstream of primary education.
Ysabella Ysmael – Community and Mental Health: she who cares for Mental Health not just as individuals but as members of a bigger community where the psychological well-being of a unified majority can take strength in numbers.
Carissa Rozil Quiza – Education for Indigenous People: And finally, she whose actual studies as Teacher allowed her to focus on the plight of indigenous Mamanwa children who – inspite of significantly lacking in life’s material pleasures – continue to give the biggest smiles from their hearts.

Here is Batch 3 of the Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Candidates and their Passions that never fade for Downy Philippines.
They encapsulate in ten seconds what I have been individually blogging about them for the past two months.

Miss Universe Philippines 2020 candidate Carissa Rozil Quiza of Surigao del Norte is mighty proud of Siargao – the tear drop-shaped island that has been a rich source of Tourism for the Province. But more than this popular destination, she is even more proud of the Mamanwas – one of the oldest and still extant tribes in the Philippines – and of the Mamanwa children in particular.
The Mamanwa children may belong to an indigenous minority in the community. But Carissa is always pleased that she does not see a bit of reticence or insecurity in their faces, of being different, of being inferior and of being who they are. They simply radiate sincerity and innocence. Hence, her advocacy is rooted from them – the inclusive and alternative education for the Indigenous People to eliminate cultural fragmentation caused by modernization. She aims to bring education to their doorsteps without giving up their cultures and traditions. Part of this is to provide a classroom environment that is conducive for learning and where they can freely express themselves more openly. She plans to make special modules for them – something that will cater to their specific needs.
And to tie it all up, she will conduct special classes that will not only enhance their cognitive abilities but also their creativity in making crafts, music, dance etc, en route to preserving their culture and traditions.
What motivates Carissa to pursue this advocacy is her inner most desire to help them embrace their uniqueness and promote unity in diversity. Thus, the goal of this advocacy is to help them in realizing their dreams and full potentials. As the title of this entry states, no Mamanwa children will be left behind.
As far as the ECQ is concerned, she has spent most of the time at home with her family. Additionally, there is a protocol of not allowing high-risk people (0-20 and senior citizens) to go outside. At 19, she dutifully followed the order. She continued to make productive use of the time while improving herself for the national pageant.
Your blogger is really liking the advocacy of Carissa. It is solid and very doable. And if she can translate everything into practice, then what a wonderful gift to the children of the Indigenous Community it will be.
