A Tribute To Miss Earth Pageant

After establishing a track record in mounting world-class beauty pageants over the last decade, Carousel Productions Inc. decided to reinvent and improve the concept of beauty competitions for the new millennium.

Because many people admire and aspire to be a beauty queen, Carousel Productions, Inc. believed beauty queens would be a good and effective advocate of worthy causes. To give life to this vision, Carousel Productions Inc. organized and launched in 2001 the MISS EARTH Beauty Pageant, a beauty event whose raison d'etre was to have its candidates and winners actively promote and get involved in the preservation of the environment and the protection of Mother Earth.

Here in the Philippines, they have a word.
A great way to start up each day,
When you want to say "Welcome, we wish you the best":
Just smile up a smile as you say,
Oh, oh, Mabuhay!
You're smilin', Mabuhay!
You're stylin', it's a great salutation, Mabuhay!
Mabuhay! Persuasion! Hello! You are delicious!
It's a one word flirtation, Mabuhay!
Won't you join us and try out this Philippine way,
To say welcome, we're glad that you came.
It's a neat little greeting to start up each day.
Just smile up a smile and exclaim,
Oh, oh, Mabuhay!
Hello there, Come join us.
Let's go there, Mabuhay!
God bless you, Mabuhay!
Mabuhay! you're singin',
Mabuhay! we're swingin',
May you have a wonderful day!
Well, there's one thing about it you can't live without!
Don't doubt it.
Just shout it.
Mabuhay!

Miss Universe Theme: "You are my star"

Miss Universe 1992, the 41st Miss Universe pageant, was held at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, Bangkok, Thailand on May 8, 1992. 78 international beauties competed for the Miss Universe crown.

You are my star. You light my way.
You brighten all my nights and make my day.
You are my star, and even more,
You are the friend that I've been waiting for,
And if I start to lose my way,
I search the sky and find out where?you are.
Then I call on you to see me through
Because you are, because you are my star.

You are my star. I look at you
And feel my secret wish is coming true.
You are my star. I'm not alone
Now that I have one of my very own.
And even when the clouds appear
And cover all the other stars?there are.
I look up to you and you shine through
Because you are, because you are my star.

When you wish upon a star,
Makes no difference who you are.
Everything your heart desires
Will come to you.
When your heart is in your dreams
No request is too extreme.
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do.

Fate is kind, fate is kind.
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing.
Like a bolt, out of the blue,
Fate steps in and sees you through.
When you wish upon a star,
Your dreams, your dreams come true.

{break "la-la-la-la"}

Like a bolt, out of the blue,
Fate steps in and sees you through.
When you wish upon a star,
Your dreams (you light my way)
Come (you make my day)
True?.
You are my star. My secret wish is coming true.
You are my star.
You are my star.
