Initially, they paraded outside (by the pool) with their respective placards which contain their message about the environment.
But the rain poured heavily, causing them to transfer inside Ricky Reyes' beautiful mansion.
The press presentation was the first major activity for the candidates since they arrived last weekend.
Later in the afternoon, they competed in their National Costume where Miss Tanzania Evelyne Almasi was declared Best in National Costume. (Mykiru has a separate story on this later).
