Miss Philippines Earth 2017 Trash-to-Clas

Manila, Philippines – Last June 27th, I had the pleasure to have been invited by Peachy Veneracion former Miss Philippines, as one of the judges to a very unique charity fashion show entitled “TRASH TO CLASS” presented by the Miss Earth Philippines 2017 beauty pageant contestants, emphasizing the pageants message of protecting Mother Earth in a presentation entitled “TRASH TO CLASS.”

The beautiful contestants representing 57 major cities in the Philippines paraded wearing dresses made of recycled materials by local unknown Philippine designers of their choice using garbage bags, rice sacks, plastic cups, spoons, forks, paper towels, plastic straws, and much more. They were judged by what recycled material their dresses were made of, how they explained what they were wearing, their carriage of the created outfit, poise and grace.

MISS OZAMIS CITY, contestant of the “Trash to Class” fashion show won First Place. She used recycled materials in the show that was held at Versailles Palace in Alabang.
