Our province, Misamis Oriental, was represented by Miss Berjayneth Chee in the recently concluded Miss Earth Philippines 2018. Last May 19, 2018 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, this young Misamisnon has made the province proud by being crowned the new Miss Earth Philippines Water. Ms. Chee, who hails from the proud municipality of Balingasag, was selected by the provincial government of Misamis Oriental through the leadership of Governor Yevgeny “Bambi” Emano and Atty. Jeffrey Saclot (Misamis Oriental Tourism Department Head). She was also the title holder of Miss Kuyamis 2017 (Miss Misamis Oriental) and represented the province to GMA network’s Miss Millenial in the lunchtime prime show Eat Bulaga.

It was an exhilarating pageant as our young queen was awarded the Miss Hana Shampoo award in the early stages of the program and from then on, she made her presence felt as she became part of each selection from top 18 to the top 5. Miss Eco-Tourism was awarded to Ms. Halimatu Yushawu of Titay, Zamboanga Sibugay, Miss Philippines Fire was awarded to Jean de Jesus of San Rafael, Bulacan, Miss Philippines Air was awarded to Zahra Bianca Saldua from Las Piñas City and the Miss Philippines Earth is Silvia Celeste Cortesi who hails from the Filipino community of Rome, Italy.  One could not just stand and be amazed as I personally witnessed the growth of Berjayneth Chee from years before up till now. She still has the potential to do more and be more not only for herself but to the people around her.
