The candidates arrived Tuesday morning from Manila and were met by representatives from the local tourism sector, who led them to the 115-year-old City Hall, the National Museum Western Mindanao, and to tourism service establishments such as Garden Orchid Convention Center where the city government hosted the welcome dinner, at Palacio Del Sur, at Alavar Seafood House, and at local broadcast media stations.
Mayor John Dalipe welcomed them “to historic, eco-tourism, and cultural sites” and accompanied them to Santa Cruz Island, where the ladies planted mangrove propagules.
With the contestants are reigning Miss Earth 2021 Destiny Wagner and Miss Earth 2019 Nelly Pimentel.
