Now that we’re done with Miss International 2014, let’s focus on our homegrown pageant now.

Based on the Press Presentation the other day, these ladies are considered the early favorites for Miss Earth 2014. Of course, it’s too premature to make any predictions. But it would do well to watch out for the ones who have created initially positive impacts.

And they are, for starters, the three Darlings of the Press – Jamie Herrell of the Philippines, Maira Alexandra Rodriguez of Venezuela and Franceska Toro of Puerto Rico.

Aside from the named trio, look out for Valerie Huber of Austria, Leticia Silva of Brazil, Aisha Isabella Hansen of Denmark, Laëtizia Penmellen of France, Lydia Marcella Manani of Kenya, Zaira Bas of Spain, Hereata Ellard of Tahiti, Sasi Sintawee of Thailand and Cartier Zagorski of Zambia.

And just to make it sixteen, let’s add four more – Alejandra Villafañe of Colombia, Sydney Van Den Bosch of Hungary, Alankrita Sahai of India and Annisa Ananda Nusyirwan of Indonesia.
