port for the environmental causes which the pageant advocates. “We are proud to be a partner of the Miss Earth which promotes ‘beauty for a cause’, not only to the Philippines where it originated, but also to the world,” explains Richie de Quina, VP for Marketing and Business Development of the MyPhone brand. The Miss Earth beauty pageant was lunched by Carousel Productions, Inc. in Manila in 2001. Now on
its twelfth year, it continues to be the most prestigious and relevant beauty pageant in the world that pushes for the promotion and protection of Mother Earth. MyPhone has been an active supporter of the Miss Philippines-Earth since the early years of the pageant, and according to MyPhone’s president Jaime Alcantara, supporting the pageant’s international counterpart is a much welcomed step-up. Each year, MISS EARTH brings together some 80 to
90 gorgeous environment ambassadress from all over the globe to compete for the prestigious crown. As one of the pageant’s partners, MyPhone will be awarding prizes, as well as a special Miss MyPhone award on prepageant activities of the candidates.

And as this city will commemorate the first anniversary of Tropical Storm Washi (Sendong)—which dumped 250 to 400 mm over a 24-hour period (Dec. 16-17) of rain that caused massive flooding that swept hundreds of homes to sea and killed thousands, it is ironic that the culprit of last year’s murderous rampage may in the future be its savior. “Water may be Cagayan
de Oro’s pot of gold,” according to the Business Risk Assessment and the Management of Climate Change Impacts – 2 Phase study undertaken by WWF Philippines and BPI Foundation. The study, however, pointed out that this will only come true if the city government will use and utilize water “in a socially acceptable, economically viable and environmentally

Its challenge is to figure out how to manage the pipes,” the study said.
