The search is on for Mr and Ms Hannah’s Ecotourism Philippines 2018! And the 6th Edition of the competition is going to be BIG this year.

The grand winners will be given the honor as the spokespersons in promoting the resort and its advocacies, which include among others, further advancing its role in addressing ecotourism concerns and as a catalyst of development for the communities.

They will also be the official representatives of Hannah’s Beach Resort & Convention Center (Official) to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and the International Ecotourism Society (IETS) as Hannah’s holds the distinction as the first and only Philippine institution that was accredited with those prestigious organizations.

Cash prizes shall also be awarded as follows:

For Mr and Ms Hannah’s – P100k each
1st Runners up – P50k each
2nd Runners up – P25k each

Non-winners will also be given consolation prizes in cash.

In addition, the winners are also assured of slots in prestigious national pageants like Mutya ng Pilipinas, Miss Global and Miss Earth Philippines, Gentlemen of the Philippines and others where Hannah’s Beach Resort and Convention Center is an official sponsor.

Watch out for the scheduled dates of the provincial go-sees!

Over this weekend, a special event was held at the Premium Suites Poolside Area of Hannah’s Beach Resort and Convention Center in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte where candidates of Miss Philippines Earth 2017 were brought to the vacation paradise called “Crown Jewel of the North” where they competed to become Miss Earth Philippines Hannah’s 2017. What added more glitter to the whole activity was the presence of Miss Universe 2011 3rd Runner-Up Shamcey Supsup-Lee, Miss World Philippines 2016 Catriona Gray, Miss Philippines Earth 2016 Loren Mar Artajos (with two members of her elemental court – Tim Alsowyed and Charinna Barro) and the visiting group of eighty-seven (87) members of the Lower House headed by Cong. Rodolfo Fariñas on a continuing inspection of tourist sites in Northern Luzon.

The candidates competed in swimsuits and evening gowns before getting grilled in the Top 10 Q&A. In the end, Shane Tormes of Mandaluyong City edged out all the beauties to win the special title. She was joined by two (2) runners-up April Rose Alegre of Davao and Mikaela Mendez of Tanza, Cavite. Interestingly, the top finishers are all present and former Miss Hannah’s Ecotourism Philippines alumni (a fact that underscores the high quality of winners in the host venue’s annual pageant).


Congratulations to all the winners! Many thanks to Col. Ricardo Nolasco Jr and Ronald Dominguez of Hannah’s for continuing to trust normannorman.com in the judging and media coverage.
