Carousel Productions and Miss Earth
Ramon Monzon, Anna Melissa Ofilada "Peachy" Veneracion, and Schuck created Carousel Productions as the pageant organizer for the Miss Asia Pacific International pageant based in the Philippines. The organization decided to leave Miss Asia Pacific International and replace it with another international beauty pageant. In 2001 Carousel Productions organized and launched the Miss Earth beauty pageant, to actively promote the preservation of the environment. Since then, the Miss Earth has become one of the Big Four international beauty pageants, alongside Miss Universe, Miss World, and Miss International.
In 2004, Monzon, Veneracion, and Schuck formed the Miss Earth Foundation, which focuses on educating young people in environmental awareness.
