No Darling of the Press? Miss Earth official tells us why

-


For the first time in recent years, the Miss Earth 2018 pageant scrapped the "Darling of the Press" special award "to be fair" to all the candidates.

"They say it's always the Philippines who wins this special award. So I decided to scrap it this year to be fair," says Carousel Productions Executive Vice President Lorraine Schuck, during an interview at the press presentation of official candidates for Miss Earth 2018 pageant held at Diamond Hotel in Manila on October 11.


The Darling of the Press has been a customary special award in prestigious pageants which is given to the candidate who exudes appeal and charm for the members of the press who cover the pageant.

The winner is selected through ballots as voted upon by members of the press, although the winner of the special award has no bearing during coronation night on Nov. 3.


But Schuck says the organization might revise its rules in choosing the Darling of the Press in the future.

"We will see. I am planning to select 5 media men and they will deliberate among themselves who will win Darling of the Press," says the former beauty queen.

Shuck makes it clear that the Darling of the Press special award for Miss Philippines Earth pageant will continue. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont...
