Beauty with a Mission: How Joy~Nostalg Hotel & Suites Manila Became Home to Miss Earth 2025

The partnership was formalized on October 1, 2025, at the Nostalg Ballroom 1, through a contract signing that brought together leadership from both organizations.

Representing Joy~Nostalg Hotel & Suites Manila were Mr. Jacinto C. Ng, Jr., Group Executive Officer of Quantuvis Resource Corporation, and Ms. Diana Batas, General Manager of Joy~Nostalg Hotel & Suites Manila. Representing Miss Earth were Ms. Lorraine Schuck, Founder and Executive Vice President of Carousel Productions, Inc., and Ms. Peachy Veneracion, Vice President and Project Director of Carousel Productions, Inc.

Also gracing the signing were two reigning queens: Miss Philippines Earth 2025, Joy Barcoma, and Miss Philippines Air 2025, Liz Mabao, whose presence gave the occasion the warmth and significance it deserved.

From that moment, Joy~Nostalg Hotel & Suites Manila became home to the Miss Earth 2025 delegates as they prepared for their Coronation Ceremony on November 5, 2025.

The Miss Earth Pageant is one of the world's premier international environmental beauty pageants, founded in 2001 by Carousel Productions, Inc. Its mission is to promote environmental awareness, conservation, and social responsibility through a global community of advocates known as Beauties for a Cause.

Each year, delegates from around the world converge not simply to compete for a crown but to amplify a message: that beauty and environmental responsibility are not separate pursuits. They are one. Miss Earth 2025 carried the theme The Silver Lining, a call to find hope and action in the face of the world's most pressing environmental challenges.

It was a mission that resonated deeply with the spirit of Joy~Nostalg Hotel & Suites Manila and the broader values of the Joy~Nostalg Group.

On October 23, 2025, The Nostalgia Lounge & Bar came alive with an evening unlike any other. The Miss Earth 2025 Eco and Air Group delegates gathered for the Cocktails and Crowns Social Night, an evening designed to celebrate the remarkable women who had traveled from across the world to Manila, each carrying the advocacy of her country on her shoulders.

The evening brought together glamour and genuine connection. Delegates in elegant dresses filled the lounge, exchanging stories, sharing laughter, and creating the kind of memories that travel home with you long after a pageant is over. The Nostalgia Lounge & Bar, with its warm atmosphere and signature hospitality, provided the perfect setting for an evening that was as meaningful as it was beautiful.

In a gesture that captured the spirit of the night, the hotel prepared special photocards for each delegate, printed, personalized, and signed as keepsakes of the evening. For women who had come so far and given so much to their advocacy, it was a small but deeply thoughtful way of saying: we see you, we honor you, and we are glad you are here.

At Joy~Nostalg Hotel & Suites Manila, hospitality has never been simply about comfort and service. It is about creating moments that matter. Moments that guests carry with them long after they check out.

Hosting the Miss Earth 2025 delegates was an opportunity to live that belief at its fullest. From the contract signing to the Cocktails and Crowns evening, every detail was crafted to make the world's most purposeful beauty queens feel genuinely at home in Manila.

As the delegates prepared for the Coronation Ceremony on November 5, 2025, they did so knowing they had a team behind them that cared not just about their comfort but about the cause they represented.
