One of the more active Official Candidates of Miss Philippines Earth 2017 is the representative of Pulilan, Bulacan – Samantha “Sam” Acosta – who is taking the opportunity of the long summer break from studies at the University of Asia & the Pacific to concentrate on her duties as one of this year’s Earth Warriors.

19 year-old Sam is serious about this pageant challenge after starting her Green Time Project where she speaks to students in different high schools on the importance of preserving Mother Earth by setting aside specific activities in a day to actually do tasks that support the 5Rs for the environment – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Renew and Respect.

Once the beehive of activities for Miss Philippines Earth 2017 resumes after the Lenten break, trust Sam to continue proving that she is a strong contender for the title currently being held by Loren Mar Artajos. She is keen on winning the top prize so that she can gain the bigger platform to push her green advocacy even more.

Good luck, Sam! 🙂

Yesterday afternoon, the final screening of Miss Philippines Earth 2017 went without a hitch at the Carousel Mansion in Mandaluyong City. The ladies who came have already been pre-selected before attending the all-important interview with the judging panel which included Lorraine Schuck, Peachy Veneracion and (newly-placed) Miss Philippines Air 2016 Shannon Bridgman.

There were a few familiar faces who showed up, like Jessica McEwen from Mutya ng Pilipinas, Karen Ibasco from Bb. Pilipinas and Iya Antonio from Miss Global Philippines, just as there are notably promising ladies in contention like Samantha Acosta, Odeza Duqueza (Bb. Aurora 2017) and Heike Marlis.


The selected applicants from this group will join the official entries from the different key cities and provinces in the Philippines plus the Filipino Commumities abroad to form the 2017 batch of Earth Warriors who will vie for the crown of reigning titleholder Loren Mar Artajos come June.

Good luck to everyone! 🙂

P.S. The new Elemental Court of Miss Philippines Earth 2016 Loren Mar Artajos is composed of:

Air: Shannon Bridgman
