Last night, as I was enjoying my Gai Mangosteen Curry at Simply Thai, one of the classy restaurants at Greenbelt 5, my hubby remarked to me that there were a couple of girls ‘making rampa’ at the outdoor area of the restaurant. I put on my glasses and was pleasantly surprised to recognize them as Miss Philippines Earth beauties – Jamie Herrel, the current MPE titleholder and Kim Covert, her runner-up and best friend who won the MPE Water 2014 title.

I walked out to say hi to both and they seemed happy to see me. Apparently, they were ‘making rampa’ and videoing it as part of a modeling requirement for a certain project.
As you can see in the photo, Jamie was glowing. Up close with light make-up she is stunning and her smile, vivacious. With her hair pulled back into a soft bun I could see just how perfect her skin was! And I totally approve of her blue top which offered a peek-a-boo view of her back. The floral and paisley long skirt finished her look giving her a breezy summer feel.
So what’s Jamie Herrel up to now, apart from modeling? Well, she says she’s going to start working out this week in preparation for the Miss Earth 2014 competition. Gold’s Gym will be taking care of her fitness regimen which will be 3 times a week. With a schedule like that, it sounds like the bulk of her workouts will involve weight training.
Although Jamie Herrel won the Best in Swimsuit at MPE 2014, she still has to work on improving her trim physique because she’ll be facing international beauties who will have cutting edge bodies.
Miss Earth this year, she says, will take place November/December and the coronation venue might be in Macau, China. If that doesn’t work out, it will be in Manila.
With five months to prepare, I think we can expect to see a stronger, better and sexier version of Jamie Herrel when she competes for the Miss Earth 2014 title!
