Janelle Tee – Miss Earth 2019

Reigning Miss Earth 2019 Janelle Tee and Liter of Light founder Iliac Diaz introduced the Light it Forward Challenge to viewers.

The video, posted on July 7, 2020, raises awareness for over 20 million Filipinos who are still living in the dark. The challenge is part of Liter of Light’s advocacy to provide solar lighting for affected communities in the Philippines.

Diaz tells viewers that Janelle Tee is putting the switches on (using the kit). The solar lighting champion jokingly explains that while the wires twisted together may look like spaghetti, the connected switches actually possess a kind of logic to guide future challengers.

The solar lighting kit comes conveniently coded with numbers for easy assembly.

Diaz guides the reigning beauty queen to help viewers see the solar light assembly process up close.

The beauty queen uses her platform to promote eco-tourism and environment-friendly practices. In the video, she proudly wore a matching handwoven Yakan mask and top from a local brand that transforms indigenous fabrics into everyday wear.

Tee encourages viewers to join her in the eco-friendly initiative, which brings solar lights to impoverished communities in the country. The Light it Forward solar lights are made entirely out of recycled materials.

The beauty queen also adds that the solar lighting feat only took her less than 30 minutes.

Her social media post reads: I installed a solar light for communities without access to electricity! I am challenging you to #lightitforward

She also addressed the Light it Forward challenge to her fellow beauty queens.

“I’m so happy I put together a solar light on my own, I did this by hand, and I now challenge my Ms. Philippines Earth sisters to Light it Forward.”
