LOOK: Miss Earth candidates try lechon

ILIGAN CITY - A few days into the coronation night, several Miss Earth 2016 candidates chose to ignore their diet regimen and take a taste of the savory Iligan lechon.

Ten Miss Earth candidates visited the National Power Corporation's Natures Park and Maria Cristina Falls in Iligan City on Tuesday morning.

The NPC compound had been closed to tourists since September following the deadly Davao City blast.

The Miss Earth candidates who visited Iligan were the representatives from Chinese Taipei, Zimbabwe, Chile, Pakistan, England, Belize, Romania, Hungary, Iraq and Denmark.

A total of 84 candidates from different countries and territories will compete during the 2016 Miss Earth Pageant on October 29.

WATCH: Cloie Syquia in Miss Earth swimsuit presentation

MANILA – Cloie Syquia Skarne, half-sister of actress KC Concepcion, rocked in a red bikini during the press presentation of Miss Earth 2016 here in the Philippines.

Skarne, 22, is representing Sweden in the environmental-themed beauty pageant.

“My earth advocacy is combating the number one contributor to greenhouse gases, which is the meat industry, and doing so by encouraging others to stay healthy, eat more fruits, grains and vegetables, and reduce the amount of meat we eat,” she said.


Last week, Skarne won third place in the preliminary evening gown competition of Miss Earth 2016. Representatives from Russia and Italy won first and second, respectively.

The Miss Earth 2016 coronation night will be held on October 29 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
Skarne is the daughter of actor Gabby Concepcion and former actress Jenny Syquia.
