Local networks in the Philippines started their month long coverage of different Miss Earth activities instore for the international delegates. Last night, a welcome party was held which served as a kick-off event for the newest international pageant. TV stations like ABS-CBN and ABC-5 featured last night's event.

Miss Estonia showed her wacky and easy-going side when she strutted herself infront of the camera . Doing a sexy dance, cameramen feasted on the sexy European bombshell. Several delegates were also interviewd by TV Patrol's Mario Dumaual. Misses India, USA and Denmark were asked on their opinions about Osama bin Laden. They seemed to share same sentiments on today's hottest issue. Shamita Singha's answer is an indication that she'll do good in the interview portion. Miss USA, Abby Royce,gave a sensible answer on the matter. She looks like a Hollywood star with that Renee Russo-like facial features. Miss Denmark , one of the early favorites told TV Patrol that it is a right thing to do with regards to US' assault on Afghanistan but she also worried on the innocent civilians that will be affected by the retaliation by the Allied forces. Camera shots laso captured several delegates in their swim suits walking along the pool side of Hotel Intercon. Statuesque Miss Argentina , Daniel Stucan, didn't pass unnoticed. She belongs to a strong group of Latina beauties expected to do well come October 28. Straight from the words of Gerry Diaz, ' Hanep sa ganda! (she rockkks!)' is what all he can say about Daniela.
