Ms. Seannel Adderie Cruz, a Pharmacy student of Southville International Medical Health Sciences College (SIMHSC), has made history after being crowned the first-ever Ms. PH Bay Watch 2025, proudly representing Parañaque City. Her milestone victory highlights the powerful intersection of pageantry, environmental advocacy, and healthcare education. As a Pharmacy student, Seannel Cruz embodies the values of scientific knowledge, public service, and social responsibility. Her academic background in Pharmacy strengthens her advocacy, particularly in promoting environmental protection as a vital component of public health, community well-being, and sustainable development.
The historic crowning marks a new chapter for PH Bay Watch, as pageantry officially meets advocacy through leaders who possess both purpose and professional grounding. Seannel Cruz’s win reflects not only her poise and intelligence, but also her strong commitment to environmental stewardship, championing the protection of the Philippines’ coastlines, marine ecosystems, and coastal communities for future generations. PH Bay Watch also introduced its newest environmental champions, including Mr. PH Bay Watch 2025 Ace Mayor of Pasay City, alongside Ms. Cruz. Both titleholders share a unified vision anchored in leadership, environmental awareness, and civic engagement, values closely aligned with the principles instilled in healthcare and Pharmacy education.
Parañaque City and Pasay City serve as fitting backdrops to these advocacies, being home to successful coastal development projects such as Aseana City and Mall of Asia. These developments demonstrate how economic progress, tourism, and environmental responsibility can coexist when guided by informed leadership and sustainable practices. As a Pharmacy student from Southville International Medical Health Sciences College, Seannel Cruz now stands as a role model for young Filipinos, proving that students in the health sciences can play a vital role beyond the classroom. Through her platform as Ms. PH Bay Watch 2025, she will work closely with PH Bay Watch Management to advance environmental campaigns, promote coastal protection, and inspire youth participation in sustainable development.
