The search is on for young Filipina beauties with a purpose. Miss Teen Earth Philippines and Little Miss Earth Philippines will hold a nationwide search for girls aged four to 17 years old with the aim to promote environmental awareness and foster change. Pre-screening begins February 2014 nationwide and the grand pageant night will be happening in May 27, 2014 at SM MOA-Arena. Project Headshot Clinic and Climate Change Commission step in to strengthen the advocacy through a partnership and a headshot petition campaign called Project Earth.
Project Headshot Clinic is a brainchild of photographer, Niccolo Cosme. The concept behind it is the marriage of headshots and advertising, with the belief that uploading profile photos under one theme is an effective way of piquing the curiosity of people.
This was my first time to be part of Project Headshot Clinic and I’d like to thank photographer Niccolo Cosme for my portrait. Yes, ako yan, haha! I had fun shooting and it’s my pleasure to support Project Headshot Clinic Earth. Awareness and action are key to change. Thanks also Onin Gaddi!
