00:00We've been amazing for 6 years now, so achievement unlocked!
00:10And because of this, we're going to celebrate our 6th anniversary here at the iconic tourist destination,
00:16100 Islands National Park.
00:18To kick off the first episode of our 3-part anniversary special,
00:21I have an amazing adventure challenge for Miss Earth Air 2023,
00:25Iliana Marie Atuana.
00:27And she's here today.
00:28How are you, Iliana?
00:29Hi, Dong! I'm here at Quezon Island, and it's so beautiful here.
00:35That's why I'm so excited to do the amazing adventure challenge here.
00:40Your challenge is simple.
00:42Zip-line across the sea from island to island,
00:45and then find the island where you can cliff-dive inside the cave.
00:50Challenge accepted!
00:53Quezon Island was named after President Manuel L. Quezon
00:57who declared 100 Islands as a National Park in the 1940s.
01:04You know guys, I've done a zip-line before,
01:06but my views are mountains,
01:09so this is my first time doing a zip-line across the sea.
01:14This challenge is perfect for Iliana
01:17because she has a clear and rich future.
01:23How long is the zip-line, sir?
01:26This zip-line is 120 meters long.
01:29120 meters is a few seconds or a few minutes.
01:33Ma'am, it's better if it's just 10 seconds.
01:36Okay, I'll do it.
01:37Okay, I'll do it.
01:38Okay, I'll do it.
01:39Okay, I'll do it.
01:40Okay, I'll do it.
01:41Only 12 to 15 seconds, ma'am.
01:4312 to 15 seconds?
01:44Yes, ma'am.
01:45Seems more exciting than that!
01:49This is it!
01:50This is for the sixth anniversary of Amazing Earth!
01:54Let's do this in 3..
01:572..
01:581...
01:59Go!
02:03Wow!
02:06That was awesome!
02:07We can see the ocean from this.
02:08At the hood of the sea.
02:11I really enjoyed my first experience of the Tawed Dagat Zip Line.
02:17It's different from an island that is a protected area in the Philippines.
02:22Especially the water, it's really blue.
02:25The experience is perfect, beautiful, and especially enjoyable.
02:30Let's go!
02:38At first, I thought that beauty pageants are really hard, but I experienced that the zip line is harder.
02:52Ileana Marie Adwana, mission accomplished!
02:57But this is just the first challenge.
03:00I need to face an island that has cliff diving in Cueva.
03:05So, let's go!
03:15Cliff diving?
03:16What?
03:17I'll ask her, and she'll run home.
03:21The 12-foot plunge.
03:23Ileana can do this.
03:26I was told to stand here.
03:28This is the best spot because the view is so beautiful.
03:32At the same time, it's a shorter version.
03:37Okay, let's do this.
03:383, 2, 1, go!
03:46At first, I was nervous.
03:49I made the most out of it, a first-time experience.
03:52I'm already used to it.
03:53I don't know how it happened, but I'm already used to it.
03:57I feel safe.
03:59After diving, I also swam.
04:02The water is also so clear.
04:04You can also see the healthy marine ecosystem under the sea.
04:10I would do it again, actually.
04:12Actually, I'll do it now.
04:13Let's go.
04:14Charm.
04:16And with that, this is it.
04:18I can say that...
04:19We're here with Amazing Earth Adventurer and Miss Earth Air 2023, Ileana Aduana.
04:25Hi, Ileana.
04:26Hello.
04:27First of all, I just want to wish Amazing Earth a happy 6th anniversary.
04:33Thank you for inviting me here.
04:36It's truly an honor.
04:37Wow.
04:38Thank you for being with us here on our 6th.
04:40How was the adventure?
04:41That's why.
04:42And I'm so happy.
04:43The first thing I did was the zip line.
04:46The best part was I saw the 360 view of the island.
04:49It's so beautiful.
04:50I was in the area earlier and I saw the beautiful onion water here in the Philippines.
04:56And of course, it's not just the crossing that becomes our highlight.
05:00It's also the entrance.
05:01You have to jump off the cliff.
05:02Yes.
05:03So, how was it?
05:04It's also a fun fact for our viewers.
05:07And it's really such an amazing experience, especially what I did here in Amazing Earth.
05:11It's so beautiful.
05:12Speaking of amazing adventures, you love nature so much.
05:16Do you have any advocacies?
05:17My biggest advocacy is centered around Earth Education, which is short for Environmental
05:22Awareness and Action to Restore and Transcend Home.
05:25Their education, and I do that through the 17 years of my life,
05:29I've been doing this for a long time.
05:31Environmental Awareness and Action to Restore and Transcend Home through education,
05:34and I do that through the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Promotion.
05:39That's it.
05:40I just want to take this opportunity to tell people that when we talk about water bodies,
05:45we don't only focus on water quality treatment, but also the water quality.
05:50So, that's what's fun about this program and the amazing adventure experience I had earlier
05:56because I feel like I was able to also promote my advocacy through that.
06:00And I wish you the best in your advocacy.
06:03I hope that you'll be able to talk to more people and that you'll be given more platforms.
06:09So, again, thank you so much.
06:10For us, you're an amazing earth human being.
