What a beautiful day it was at the poolside of Solaire, which turned out to be such a huuuuge by-the-sea getaway with gorgeous coconut trees and lots of pool space for you to swim in! I did not realize just how gorgeous this place was having only seen the casino and ballroom.
Well, it became an even prettier place with the 49 official candidates of Miss Philippines Earth 2014 parading around in their Ricky Abad bikinis! Here are the photos I took… the girls that stood out are highlighted in RED… the girls highlighted in green were very intriguing… ENJOY!
THE 11 ECO-WARRIOR BEAUTIES FROM SOUTH LUZON:
L-R – Kaycie Lyn Fajardo (Agoncillo, Batangas), Maria Jenny Bantug Gonzales (Cainta), Roanne Refrea (Cabuyao), Patrixia Sherly D. Santos (Daraga, Albay)
Kaycie Lyn Fajardo (Agoncillo, Batangas) - I’ve always been attracted to feline beauties and Kaycie Lyn is cat-like enough to rouse my interest. At 19 she is one of the youngest girls in the competition, she is a BS Customs Administration student at Adamson University.
Maria Jenny Bantug Gonzales (Cainta) - I can’t really explain it but she intrigues me like the way Janine Tugonon intrigued me the year she won. Because of that, this 24-year-old nurse gets a green mark from me!
Roanne Refrea (Cabuyao) – To me, this 24-year-old eco-warrior is a cross between MJ Lastimosa and Ali Forbes. Roanne’s college degree is International Business and Entrepreneurial Management.
Patrixia Sherly D. Santos (Daraga, Albay) - This municipality has been churning out beauties at an alarming rate! Alarming to the competition! Patrixia is only 21 years old and studying law at UP.

L-R – Anna Czarina Regalado Buenviaje (Malinao, Albay), Nicole A. Grimalt (Rodriguez, Rizal), Christine Angel D. Ramos Alvaira (San Nicolas, Batangas) and Mary Rose Pujanes (Sto. Tomas, Batangas)
Anna Czarina Regalado Buenviaje (Malinao, Albay) – This is Anna Czarina’s second national pageant and she’s prettier than ever. Best asset is her smile! The 21-year-old archery buff is a Broadcast grad from Bicol University.
Nicole A. Grimalt (Rodriguez, Rizal) – Ah… a milkbath beauty. Love the way her mahogany tresses make her porcelain skin glow. Nicole happens to be Bb. Rodriguez 2012, is 19-years old and studying at the Our Lady of Fatima University.
Christine Angel D. Ramos Alvaira (San Nicolas, Batangas) – Christine Angel is one of the tallest girls in MPE 2014. This Fashion and Merchandising student of De La Salle College of St. Benilde is only 21 and is always ready with the sweetest smile!
Mary Rose Pujanes (Sto. Tomas, Batangas) – Also on her second national beauty pageant, 21-year-old Mary Rose is a treat for my hungry eyes! She is muy simpatica. The 2011 winner of the Miss Batangas title studied Accounting at First Asia Institute of Technology and Humanities.
*****
L-R – Diane Carmela Querrer (Tanauan), Anna Carmela Aquino (Taytay, Rizal) and Joselle Mariano (Trece Martires, Cavite)
Diane Carmela Querrer (Tanauan) – Ooooh… seems like her disqualification from Bb. Pilipinas this year (reportedly due to height issues) made her shine instead of whine! Now, Diane Querrer is turning out to be a tough contender for the MPE 2014 crown. This Broadcast graduate from UP Diliman is getting a lot of attention folks and I think its because she’s blossomed. Diane first competed in Miss Philippines Earth a few years back. Now that she’s 25 and about to age out, she’s taking one more aim at the MPE title!
Anna Carmela Aquino (Taytay, Rizal) – I’m pleased to note that this 23-year-old High School Math Teacher has more curves than angles, geometrically speaking. Love her body, one of the few bods that I really like in MPE 2014. Also loved her styling here.
Joselle Mariano (Trece Martires, Cavite) – Joselle brings a personal sun around with her wherever she goes! Her smile is positively powerful just like her swimmer’s shoulders. This Tourism student is only 18 years old…
