For over two months, Miss Teen Earth and Little Miss Earth Philippines staff have scoured the archipelago in search of young beauties who embody the advocacies of conservation, preservation and protection. We looked beyond their physical attributes and chose girls who conveyed a genuine love for mother earth and who are capable of becoming 'Earth Champions' even at a young age.
It all began in January where hundreds of hopefuls aged 4-9 and 13-17 flocked to auditions in Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Naga, Baguio, Batangas, Pampanga and Manila. Nearly a thousand girls took part over the course of several weeks. Through a series of preliminary eliminations, the list was narrowed down to 20 teens and 20 little girls. Less than a week after the forty finalists were named, they were all brought to Manila to begin their journey. The next few days would be a flurry of activity. Each teen contestant was assigned to one little girl to act as her 'big sister' over the course of their journey.
On day one, the finalists wowed everyone in their first photo shoot for the free pageant supplement, 'Roots.' The girls donned the simple yet fashionable 'Jeepney' collection by stylist Jeffry Rogador. Teen Actress and singer Julie Anne San Jose also had a photo shoot for the supplement's cover on the same day. After a fun-filled day they all returned to the Holiday Inn to get some beauty rest and to prepare for the next activities.
The next day, the girls were treated to a seminar facilitated by maker of Beauty Queens Jonas Gaffud who taught the girls the same tips he gave the likes of Venus Raj and Megan Young.Then the girls got a surprise guest, in the form of another Jonas Gaffud-trained beauty, Shamcey Supsup.

While the teens went to visit the office Celebrity Mom and Inside Showbiz at One Mega Group.

Special guests that night were respected Entertainment Journalists Dolly Anne Carvajal and Nelson Canlas where they had the opportunity to bond with one another.

Then in the afternoon they visited zoobic safari in subic where they were treated to an entertaining animal show, a thrilling lion and tiger safari and an exciting visit to the crocodile park.
