CYNTHIA WOOS ZAMBIANS TO THE PHILIPPINES

Zambians from around the world are travelling to the Philippines this weekend to support their favourite Beauty Queen, Cynthia Kanema who is participating in the Miss Earth 2005 Beauty Pageant, which will be held in Manila on Sunday 23 October 2005.

In a joint statement, the franchise holders of Miss Earth Zambia, Perryfield Promotions and Chronis Entertainment, said this is the first time that a Zambian candidate to an international pageant will have her own delegation to support her. In the past, Zambian candidates have been sent off to represent Zambia on their own, while other countries have huge delegations, including the media from their home countries. Being alone at such big global gatherings can have a very negative impact on the morale and performance of the lone candidate.

“We had extended an invitation to Zambians around the world and we have had such an overwhelming response”, said Sotiris Chronis of Chronis Entertainment

“We have received confirmations of Zambians who will be travelling from the UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Holland, German, France, Monaco, South Africa and of course Zambia, to support Cynthia in the Philippines. We are also taking our own Zambian TV and newspaper crew”, Said Mr Chronis.

And Perryfield Promotions Chief Executive, Justina Mutale said, “The presence of a Zambian delegation in the Philippines will boost Cynthia’s confidence and morale, and increase her chances of bringing the crown home”.

“The finals of the Miss Earth 2005 Pageant will take place on the eve of our 41st Independence Anniversary, and I have no doubt that Cynthia will give us a reason to extend Zambia’s 41st Independence Celebrations to the Philippines”, says Mutale.

“I also know that Zambians will make their presence felt in the Philippines with such an impact that the people of the Philippines will be compelled to want to visit Zambia”, says Mutale

“Our friendliness, vivacious spirit, charming nature and adventurous attitude to life makes the Zambian people the number one tourist attraction for our country”, Mutale said.
