The Miss Earth 2024 pageant is taking place in the Philippines. The contest has been criticized by the audience for being unprofessional and makeshift.

The Miss Earth 2024 pageant is taking place in the Philippines. In recent days, contestants have been participating in side activities and charity work.

On the first day of the pageant, the contestants were treated to a dinner party by the organizers at a local restaurant in Manila. Through livestream, the audience commented that the venue had a small, rudimentary stage.

In another activity, the contestants attended an event in a large, empty house. The organizers did not arrange tables and chairs, but only had rows of plastic chairs for the contestants to sit on temporarily.

The images, after being posted on beauty forums, received mixed reactions from the audience. Many people criticized the organization of Miss Earth as unprofessional and makeshift.

However, many people believe that Miss Earth promotes the spirit of environmental protection, so the contest does not focus on flashy forms but directs contestants towards meaningful humanitarian activities.

This is not the first time Miss Earth has been criticized for being unprofessional. In 2022, the swimsuit competition of the contest was affected by a big storm, and contestants could not continue to catwalk on an outdoor stage. After that, the organizers chose an alternative stage, a relatively narrow, covered yard. Contestants still catwalked but went barefoot.Previously, Miss Earth was also embroiled in controversy many times when revealing images of contestants eating with their hands and eating from boxed lunches.

Since 2012, Miss Earth has not been able to regain its position in the beauty pageant race like in the past after a series of scandals such as prize-buying, contestants being sexually harassed, and the quality of the organization has seriously declined, causing the beauty community to lose interest in following.

The events of Miss Earth 2024 began in October and the final is scheduled to take place on November 9. The final night will be broadcast on Philippine TV channels, local channels and online in some participating countries.

The theme of this year’s contest is Heritage. Contestants will travel to different locations in the Philippines to introduce tourist destinations and promote the country’s rich heritage.

Miss Earth is one of the largest beauty pageants in the world. The contest not only finds a beauty queen with beauty and intelligence but also a love for the environment and the community. In recent years, Miss Earth has gradually lost its position due to some scandals.
