The decision to wear face masks was reached following a board meeting with officials of Carousel Productions, organizer of the annual Miss Philippines-Earth and Miss Earth pageants, Monday night.
This will be the first time in any pageants that the candidates will be presented wearing face masks on stage.
Pageant officials said that the girls will wear face masks during the preliminary competition.
In 2017, the Miss Philippines-Earth became the talk of pageant world when the candidates made their appearance wearing black veils during the pre-judging portion of “Figure and Form” category.
That year, MPE organizers explained that the black veil aims to put emphasis on the figure and form of the candidate, which was the criteria of focus for that specific portion; and second, to introduce the girls with dramatic flair since it as the first in the series of prejudging.
There are no words yet if the 2020 candidates will wear face masks during the grand coronation of the Miss Philippines-Earth beauty pageant next month.
The 2020 prejudging of figure and form can be seen live on Facebook. The final dates for the preliminary events and grand coronation of Miss Philippines-Earth 2020 will be announced soon.
On Monday, Lorraine Schuck, Executive Vice President of Carousel Productions, announced that the environment-driven beauty pageant will be presented in virtual reality tentatively on May 24.
“We are now preparing for a virtual presentation of MPE 2020 that will be aired on ABS CBN and in our social media account. Our tentative date is May 24, 2020,” said Schuck, during an exclusive interview over the weekend.
The winner of the Miss Philippines-Earth 2020 pageant will represent the Philippines in the Miss Earth contest. Television host Janelle Lazo Tee will crown her successor at the end of the show.
