The African delegates of Miss Earth 2014

I have received word that Siran Samuel, South Sudan’s representative to Miss Earth 2014, might no longer be coming to Manila due to the reported ebola outbreak in her country. I was also sounded off that the supposed entry from Sierra Leone won’t be competing due to the same reason as well. As far as Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, Ivory Coast, Cameroon and South Africa are concerned, no final word has been received from their end if their bets will push through with the Manila trip or not.

Truth be told, this is a sensitive concern. And it is not only centered on Miss Earth, but all other international beauty competitions taking place between now and early next year.

It personally saddens me because these ladies only want to banner their respective motherlands in the global pageant stage.

But then again, hands are tied in major health situations like this.
