Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte – Miss Earth 2017 candidate Paweensuda Drouin of Thailand bagged the crown for the “Ms. Earth-Hannah’s 2017” title in a mini-pageant held at the Hannah’s Beach Resort and Convention Center in Barangay Balaoi, Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte on Saturday.

Drouin bested the nine other Miss Earth 2017 candidates with her beautiful gown and fluent English response in the question and answer portion of the mini-pageant sponsored by retired Colonel Ricardo L. Nolasco Jr., the proprietor of the Hannah’s Beach Resort.

The other winners of the Miss Earth-Hannah’s 2017 were Miss Ninoska Vasquez of Venezuela-1st runner-up and Miss Lessie Giler Sanchez of Ecuador-2nd runner up.

The 10 Miss Earth 2017 candidates, who visited Hannah’s beach resort are Miss Austria- Bianca Kronsteiner; Miss Czech Republic – Iva Uchytilova; Miss Ecuador Lessie Giler Sanchez; Miss Venzuela – Ninoska Vasquez; Miss Thailand – Paweensuda Drouin; Miss Korea – Hanna Lee; Miss Guatemala – Maria Jose Castaneda; Miss Israel – Elian Qupti; Miss Sweden – Camilia Fogestedt; and Miss Uganda – Mutesi Josephine Nabirye.

Drouin’s main advocacy to protect the environment is to “think mother earth as extension of one’s house.”

She elaborated that the awareness program in protecting the environment should start in the family’s house.

“The parents should teach their children at home on the proper ways to protect the mother earth through practicing the 6 Rs in effective waste management, which means re-use, reduce, re-use, recycle, repair and recover,” she said.
