Miss Earth candidates were all smiles after they have participated in the tree planting ceremonies in Orchard at the Pontefino hotel and residences property.

Pontefino Hotel, fast becoming the top residence of choice for brief sojourners in Batangas City, continues to build a reputation for being the city’s leading venue for major corporate and social events. Just recently, the Hotel was once again the proud home and venue for the 2017 Miss Earth 2017 Swimsuit competition.

Thirty delegates of Miss Earth 2017 visited Batangas City and paraded in their best swimwear for the pageant’s official swimsuit competition. The audience was treated to a feast not just for the eyes but also for the tummy, as they relished a buffet banquet all throughout the evening. The live band brought the house down with energetic music that greeted spectators entering the place, and then switched its gears to serenade the Heroines fighting climate change. The contestants afterwards dined and partied with the lively audience and special guests.

True to their environmental advocacies, Miss Earth aspirants actively participated the following morning for a tree-planting activity at Pontefino Hotel’s Orchard. This particular event is a joint effort of Pontefino Hotel, Pontefino Estates, Jose Aliling Construction Management, Inc., and the Batangas City Government, to ensure continued community ecological conservation and sustainability.
