Miss Philippines Earth Candidates graces Banog-Banog Fashion Show 2023
Miss Philippines Earth 2023 and Binibining Manolo Fortich 2023 shared the stage for the first time to pave way to fashion and culture.
The 28 lovely candidates of Miss Philippines Earth showcased the locally made banog inspired wings during the municipal costume contest of the Binibining Manolo Fortich on April 18, 2023 at the Municipal Gymnasium.
The municipality of Manolo Fortich facilitated the Banog Banog fashion show in line with the Banog Banog. The event aims to showcase the beauty of the Binibinis in the municipality as well as exhibit the talent and skills of our local designers behind their costumes. The event was made even grander as it featured the 28 Miss Philippines Earth candidates who wore locally designed Banog inspired wings. All the proceeds from the event will be given to the Philippine Eagle Foundation.
Hosted by Mr. Elton Ladd, the Manoleños as well as the facebook live viewers witnessed the exquisite beauty of the candidates as they graced the stage wearing the awe-inspiring masterpieces of our local designers. Our Binibining Manolo Fortich were the first ones to adorn the stage wearing costumes representing each barangay. Then followed by the 12 stunning Miss Philippines Earth candidates in couture creations from the Oro Fest Designers Guild. The last part of the event was the exhibition of the Banog inspired wings worn by 22 Miss Philippines Earth candidates designed by locals from the 22 barangays of Manolo Fortich. The winners of the Banog inspired wings were; barangays Lingion and Diclum as 3rd place which was worn by Miss Philippines Earth, Laguindingan, Misamis Oriental candidate. Barangays Santiago and Guilang-guilang, 2nd place, worn by Miss Earth 2017, Northern Mindanao representative Carmela Niña Quirog. And finally, the 1st place was awarded to Barangays Alae, Mantibugao, and Minsuro which was won by Miss Earth Philippines, Siniloan, Laguna candidate.
Prior to the Banog Banog fashion show, the 28 Miss Philippines Earth candidates immersed themselves in Sitio Bagalangit, Barangay Kalugmanan the day before the event. They were accompanied by Manolo Fortich Sangguniang Bayan Member, Councilor Rina E. Quiño, committee chair on tourism together with BBTV, Tourism office, rescue, RTA, nurses, other LGUs like Talakag and Malitbog, and volunteer persons of Bukidnon First District Congressman Jose Manuel F. Alba. They were able to interact with the children in Bagalangit by storytelling and giving out snacks, candy, and school supplies. They were also joined by an eagle mascot which made the event more entertaining not only for the children but also for the candidates. They were also given a warm welcome by Congressman Joeman Alba with spouse and former congresswoman Malou A. Alba, at the Bamboo Pavilion, located at Miranda, Damilag, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. The short welcoming program was attended by our very own municipal Mayor, Honorable Rogelio N. Quiño.
