CANCEL MISS EARTH PAGEANT, NOW!!!

[Agua Maldita]

Seriously? Isn't insensitive to have the Miss Earth Pageant at such a dark time. 10 million Filipinos are affected. The hardest hit areas are without food, water, medicine, and electricity. Deaths in the thousands, towns have been decimated, lives have been uprooted and yet, the pageant goes on?



The pageant will be a spectacle. The world will be watching. And surely, this will leave a sour note to all those who believe in times of tragedy, we should spend our time trying to find ways to help those in need.

As an American, I find it disturbing that the Miss Earth Pageant will go on. What is your take on this?

[jingdiv]

I agree on the TS. It is not good to host Miss Earth Pageant here in the Philippines. They should cancel this for this year or have another country to host the pageant. If they will pursue the pageant, it should be different from this time. It should be like SURVIVOR form of a contest and whoever endures the odd situation who demonstrate grace and beauty without makeup in their jeans and t-shirt will be declared this year as the winner. She should demonstrate her advocacy to the pressing demands of those typhoon victims.

[fattyacid]

The tragedy makes Miss Earth more relevant now as ever before and strengthens the need to further promote environmental awareness to all.

I believe the people behind ME will opt instead for a simple yet decent presentation during the finals night and dedicate the show to the survivors and victims of the super typhoon.

[cocorocha]

I dont agree with you... this is the right time that miss earth can show their advocacy! And as the organizer said.. this will be the best miss earth! They are going to help and do! So miss earth is the best pageant of cause

As a Filipino I can say that I am very happy that the Miss Earth is continuing. It is another opportunity to keep the eyes of the world media on Philippines. I believe the contestants will help in some way if only to raise more publicity and also it gives us something to think positively about in this dark time. Some to look forward to and celebrate something good for our country.

Miss earth is the best

[bootsguy]

I WOULD RATHER SUGGEST THAT YOU MUST GET OUT OF MISSO THAN CANCELLING MISS EARTH. I SUGGEST YOU DELETE THIS THREAD NOW BECAUSE THIS THREAD DOES NOT HELP AT ALL.. THIS TOPIC AND THREAD ONLY ADD INSULT TO THE INJURY BETTER DONATE SOMETHING TO HELP RATHER THAN SUGGEST THIS NEGATIVITY. THIS TOPIC IS EPIC FAIL AND SUGGEST NEGATIVITY.... TURN THIS DOWN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. MISS EARTH NEEDS TO GET HELP, RAISE AWARENESS, CAMPAIGNS ON HOW TO BETTER PREPARE AND AVERT THE ADVERSE EFFECT OF CALAMITY ELSE I WILL **** YOU IF MISS EARTH IS CANCELLED!

[artaestes]

i beg to disagree because for sure the proceeds of this pageant will go to the victims of typhoon. aside from that this year's theme is climate change and will be relevant to what just happened... instead of being pain in the ass, why don't you make yourself helpful ???

Philippines

[zidanetribal]

LET THE PAGEANT CONTINUE...

IF THIS IS MISS UNIVERSE THEN BY ALL MEANS CANCEL IT.

BUT THIS IS MISS EARTH, AND THE TRAGEDY THAT STRUCK US IS TOTALLY RELEVANT TO THEIR CAUSE.

AS I SAID BEFORE, MISS EARTH IS AN UNCONVENTIONAL PAGEANT AND IT'S CAUSE IS MUCH MORE WORTHY.

RATHER THAN CANCEL IT, THEY SHOULD CAPITALIZE ON THE EVENTS TO RAISE MORE FUNDS TO HELP THE VICTIMS OF THE SUPER TYPHOON.

IF LAST YEAR WAS MARRED BY A FALSE ACCUSATION, THEN I BELIEVE THIS YEAR WILL BE THE BEST MISS EARTH, VERY RELEVANT AND SYMPATHETIC.

BTW: I AM KEEPING AN EYE ON MISSES KOREA AND SWITZERLAND, THEY CAN PULL A SURPRISE.

[bootsguy]

THE TRAGEDY JUST MAKES THE PAGEANT MORE RELEVANT AND CAN BE OF HELP TO RAISE FUNDS, RAISE AWARENESS AND WAYS TO DEDUCE THE ADVERSITY OF THESE NATURAL CALAMITIES... CANCELLING THE PAGEANT APPROPRIATE AND PERFECT FOR ENVIRONMENT IS LIKE TURNING YOUR BACK ON THESE PEOPLE.. CONSENTING YOURSELF AND ACCEPT THIS NATURAL CALAMITY HAPPENS AND GIVE UP AND SURRENDER ON THIS AND NOTHING WE CAN DO. I ALSO HOPE YOU DON'T HAVE THE MOTIVE TO PUT DOWN MISS EARTH TO RAISE UP YOUR OWN GLAMOROUS PAGEANT WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CALAMITY AND BECAUSE MISS EARTH HAS MORE REAL BEAUTIFUL CONTESTANTS WHO ARE WILLING TO STAND UP FOR PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT...

[ccccc]

NOW IS THE TIME TO REALLY STAGE THE PAGEANT AS THIS WILL TRULY EMPHASIZE THEIR CAUSE. HOWEVER, A SIMPLE PAGEANT WILL DO WITHOUT THE FANFARE, WITHOUT THE SITE VISITS. IT SHOULD BE CONDUCTED IN A VERY AUSTERE WAY.

[Marcia Bia]

I am so sorry by the victims and the country, but is time for raise the heads. Are bad times for Phils, but cancel the pageant and other activities is not the way for go in front. Life goes on!!!

[beautywatchnyc]

Ms Earth should seize the opportunity.

It has the leverage to dramatize how the vagaries of greed can destroy flourishing disaster-free human environments. Natural disasters do occur due to man's indifference in seeking a healthy balance of his own habitat.

But MEO must be careful - - not a tinge of commercialism there - - they cannot trivialize the suffering of helpless victims but in lieu push for measures to get the world community find a lasting solution to the perennial problem of climate change.

This annual international pageant could serve as a sounding board - - and a call for humankind to take serious notice.

[omyoro]

This thread is an example of a narrow minded filipino who happens to live in America...Because I know real american doesnt have mentality like this. For how many years you´re living there yo did not even raise a level of your status and even get advance of whatever breed you´ve had when you are in the Philippines. SHAME!!! Go on Miss Earth this the best time for you to continue your cause...[color=#008000][/color]

[puffboy]

Fund Raising, Charity Works, Awareness Campaigns, etc. That's what makes Miss Earth more relevant this year! I think that the candidates would not hesitate to help the people in need! It's both a privilege and an opportunity to show compassion for others

[Lulu Jo Abbas]

Your anxiousness and roar is very well heard but cancellation of Ms. Earth 2013 event is not an option. Personally, I can’t blame you for lack of geographical knowledge of the Philippines assuming you are an American as you claim and also based on the flag you are waving. The most affected areas are in the provinces of Samar and Leyte where lives and property damages are heavily tipped over. Surely, the news about the aftermath of the Super Typhoon Haiyan shocked the whole human race while sympathies and aids are pouring for the victims of the dreadful calamity. That is very heart melting to see the world showing their supports and sympathies. Fortunately, three quarters of the Philippines are spared by HAIYAN so therefore life goes on as normal as much as we could even our hearts are in pain thinking of those compatriots’ suffering as days go by. Now, if we cancel the Ms. Earth 2013 event, what would it achieve? If your point is to show respect to the victims of the typhoon who are mourning due to the lost of their love ones, it would still not solve the problem of the living people. These people need help, not only respect, but also some kind of diversion from their anguish to lift up their morals for them to be productive again. One of the advocacy of Ms. Earth is awareness of our environment. That’s one of the main reason why Ms. Earth pageant is conducted every year to remind the citizen of the world of what to do and not to do to save our Mother Earth. To roar for the cancelation of Ms. Earth pageant would not benefit victims but would possibly forget awareness . Btw, there’s no Ms. Earth 2013 plan of activities that will be held in those two heavily affected provinces (Samar and Leyte).

Just my hard earned 5 cents.

[Rhamie]

miss earth should continue and must be true to its vision

[zuckerlinova]

they will go to tacloban to clean the debris and help repack goods for the victims.
they will eat food similar to what the victims ate.
they will plant and replace all the trees that have been destroyed in the city.
let this pageant continue, and the girls are facing a lot of challenges.

[arkenken]

I disagree. They can scale down the production and the expenses but I don't think cancelling the show entirely this year is a good idea. More than ever, they can show the world the real purpose of miss earth, which is to conserve and protect mother nature. I know a lot of people are hurting, but this pageant is also an opportunity for the organization to actually raise a lot of money for charities, which they can give to the victims in Visayas; and, if possible, they can ask the contestants help the victims rebuild their lives, like habitat for humanity and other orgs for example, as an activity.

[cocorocha]
