Prime Minister Declines Comment on BTL Acquisition During Orange Walk Visit

Tonight, BTL's decision to acquire Speednet continues to dominate the public narrative, with the social partners, the opposition, and many Belizeans criticizing the move. And with all this emphasis on the most pressing issue in the news right now, what does the Prime Minister have to say about it?
Well, that's what we wanted to find out, so we went to Orange Walk this morning where the PM had a scheduled lunch session with the Miss Earth Belize delegates at Maracas Bar & Grill. We tried to speak with him before he entered the restaurant, but he only said four words to us: "Welcome to Orange Walk."
Then we waited as he spent 2 hours dining with the delegates. As he came out of the restaurant, we approached him again to try and ask him about the acquisition of Speednetâ€”a company partly owned by his family. This time, he had no words for usâ€”even though we asked for at least 5 minutesâ€”but he still stopped to speak with another of the delegates before driving off in a Toyota Tacoma.

Here's how it all played out:

Minister Julius Espat Reaffirms Opposition to Speednet Deal and Cites Lack of Consultation

And while the PM won't even offer a word to explain why the BTL board he appointed has decided to acquireâ€”for 80 million dollarsâ€”a company partly owned by his family, tonight there are murmurs of dissent in his Cabinet. Some Ministers don't like it one bit, according to reports.
Julius Espat has been one of the most strident critics of an acquisition leading to a monopoly, and today we reached out to him for comment.

Espat told us he is recovering from COVID but referred us to his comments made on February second of this year and told us his position has not changed. Here's what he said at that time:

Julius Espat, Minister of Infrastructure Development & Housing
"Consultation is never enough. And I think there's a misconception that you have these privately/publicly owned companies and they believe that they don't owe, they don't have to consult with the Belizean people, that I have a serious problem with. You either own it or you don't own it and we own it so if we own it, then you have to come to us to ask our opinion. And that's why Cabinet was reluctant in making a position because it was waiting for all the consultations to happen, including with the media. The media is extremely important in this. The concern that the media has. If you have a monopoly and it can affect them in the future, is something that has to be addressed and it has to be put in place before an agreement is done. It's just my point of view and that we need competition? Well from the day I was born, that is what I believe in, in having competition. And the reason that you have two telecom companies is because the concept of competition was there from the beginning. So I have listened to what BTL has had to say. And as a company, any company wants a monopoly. Channel Seven would want it; Channel Five would want it; PlusTV would want it. Everybody in the business community would love a monopoly, but that doesn't mean that it is in the best interests of the consumers. And that is where I believe we have to be looking at. And considering."

In a text message to our news director today, Espat added, quote, "I also do not believe the true owners have been properly consulted. The people of Belize own BTL." End quote.

He added that he is not able to say more at this moment until after Tuesday's Cabinet meeting.

Social Partners Call for Immediate Halt to Proposed BTL-Speednet Acquisition

And swelling the chorus of disapproval this afternoon were the social sector partners, including the Belize Chamber of Commerce.
They issued a joint statement comprehensively criticizing the Speednet acquisition.
First off, they are calling for an "immediate halt" to the proposed acquisition and lament, quote, "Despite repeated calls for transparency and regulatory scrutiny, fundamental questions concerning legality, competition, governance, valuation, conflicts of interest, and the protection of the public interest remain unanswered."
First, they refer to the Telecommunications Act, which forbids telecommunications companies from making deals that aim to eliminate competition.
Then they demand that BTL, quote, "publish a public justification for the proposed acquisition, including the commercial rationale, due diligence undertaken, the five most recent years of audited financial statements for Speednet Communications Ltd." end quote.
They also demand that, quote, "the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet publicly state the Government's position on the proposed acquisition, the public-interest considerations supporting that position, and the measures taken to identify and manage any actual or perceived conflicts of interest."
And they call on the PUC to, quote, "publish its assessment of the likely impact of the proposed acquisition on competition and consumers."

In closingâ€”and this is the key partâ€”they say, quote, "The Social Partners are prepared to pursue all lawful regulatory, parliamentary, administrative, and legal remedies available, including peaceful demonstrations and, where appropriate, seeking injunctive relief as permitted under the Telecommunications Act and any other relief available at law to ensure public interest drives decision-making." End quote.

NTUCB President Details Social Partner Alignment Following BCCI Meeting

That statement came from the Chamber, the Belize Network of NGOs, and the NTUCB. Today the NTUCB held a meeting with the UDP to discuss their shared issues.

We'll tell you about that shortly, but first NTUCB President Ella Waight told us about yesterday's meeting with the Chamber:

Ella Waight, President - NTUCB
"Again we are all on the same page it is a matter that is very concerning, we felt and we have always had meetings with the social partners we did not meet for a while, and it is sad that sometimes it will take these national issues to get us back around the table, but we are partners in ensuring that Belize goes down the correct path whenever it comes to any kind of investment or any kind of negative effects on our Belizean people. The meeting was very progressive and I think we all agree that we must take action now, time is not on our side and that is what we are doing the time is now to move."

Opposition Leader Emphasizes Necessity of Collaboration Between UDP and Unions

Waight claims that everyone is on the same page and shares the same sentiments towards the acquisition, including the Leader of the Opposition. When we spoke to party leader Tracy Panton after today's meeting with the NTUCBâ€”which took place at the PSU officeâ€”she shared that their collaboration is essential in order to send a strong message to the government:

Tracy Panton, Leader of the Opposition, UDP
"It is sufficient to say that we had a very productive meeting almost 2 hours, we discussed the issues we have, common concerns particularly the national issues before us, BTL of course being one of those important issues that require the kind of collaboration to ensure the government understands that it is, there are a number of organizations including NTUCB that share the same concerns. And also we discussed specific activities that we could do together to ensure our voices are heard, and amplified by the executive of the government, to ensure that the message is not lost that the consolidation of the telecommunications industry, the way it is being handled is not acceptable to us and in our view does not serve the national development interest of this country."

Union Leadership to Consult Membership Before Finalizing Next Steps

And while Panton was unable to share what those future joint activities will look like, President Waight told us that they have to share the recommendations made by the UDP with their membership before they decide to move forward:

Ella Waight, President - NTUCB
"The NTUCB from ever since has always met with anybody that wants to meet with them as long as it has to do with work with issues that affect workers, or Belizeans or national issues on a whole this is the third time we have met with the opposition on various issues we have actually agreed today to continue this engagement with having quarterly meetings as well as we do with the Minister of Labor and as we would have wanted with the Prime Minister but that is now twice a year but yes the leader of the opposition requested this meeting two weeks ago we asked council when would be a perfect date and today was the date that we decided long before these issues with the BTL acquisition came up so we went ahead with the meeting we had some persons joining from the NTUCB virtually and some were here with us at the office."

"Well of course the issues obviously came up with the acquisition and both of us the opposition and the NTUCB are still at a point to say no to the acquisition we don't have enough information we don't know about the legality of the process so we are both on the same page with that and the way we move forward, there were some suggestions from both ends we do have to go back to our different constituencies about those suggestions, the NTUCB goes through a process where we have to engage our members in any decision and then have a vote. We have been seeing as you know with the social partner NTUCB with the social partners and we have began to chart a way ahead as well with this issue and my job now is to go to a meeting with the social partners and bring these recommendations from the opposition to see if they would agree to such recommendations on a way forward."

Opposition Pledges Ongoing Engagement With Trade Union Movement - But Will They Take It To The Streets?

While we might not see Panton and her party in full battle mode anytime soon, she told us that they will remain actively engaged in their collaboration with the NTUCB.

Reporter
"Was any decision taken for both movements to come together and take to the streets?"

Tracy Panton, Leader of the Opposition - UDP
"We are not about to discuss or divulge the specific activities that we have agreed to those will unfold over the next couple of days, obviously the members of the general council need to update their stakeholders and we have an obligation to update our stakeholders as well and then we move forward."

Reporter
"What is your thoughts on these senators deciding to walk out of the Senate on Tuesday was it prudent and wise of them?"

Tracy Panton
"Absolutely I think it sent a very strong and very clear message and certainly we have our lead senator right here who led the charge we are very proud of him, but certainly I think for the first time in Belize's history we had that kind of collaboration and in my view it sent a very powerful signal and should have sent a powerful message to the government that we will not sit by idly and allow them to do as they please in this country."

NTUCB Prepared for Action as Consultations With Membership Continue

And while the unions consult with their membership, do they run the risk of having BTL rush ahead to consummate the acquisition while the social partners are still plotting? Waight says her ducks are already lined up:

Ella Waight, President, NTUCB
"We have already started to plan and we started to plan from last week the NTUCB sent our letter to BTL telling them do not go ahead with this acquisition we are still at NO we do not feel that we are ready to move forward we do not know, we haven't gotten the answers we needed and the same way the BCCI and the other social partners feel the churches, so we had met yesterday we have charted a way forward and we will be meeting again either today or tomorrow to continue that way forward but I cannot reveal what those steps are at this point we are not waiting for any ducks to be lined up we have lined up our ducks already."

Family Suspects Foul Play Following Discovery of Samuel Chi's Body at Sea

2 days have passed since the body of Samuel Chi was returned to his family after it was found at sea, 36 hours after he and Albert Vaccaro were reported missing.
The men had gone on a fishing trip on Sunday but did not return. Vaccaro was found alive and the following day Chi was found 4 miles away in the water. The Coast Guard has yet to recover the boat the men used, and now tensions and suspicion are arising about what exactly happened on the open sea and how only one of them survived.
Chi's family has made it public that they suspect foul play and claim there are many unanswered questions.
Police have not released what, if any, information they managed to get from Vaccaro, who was hospitalized after he was found at sea.

But this very short clip is the only piece of evidence the family is pointing to where Vaccaro is talking about someone grabbing them:

CUE IN Very short, but that is all that's circulating. We will keep following the story.

Investigation Continues Into Potential Causes of Belize River Fish Kill

Tonight, residents of the Belize River Valley are still waiting to hear what is causing the fish kill in their communities.
The Belize River remains the country's largest freshwater source and tonight fish are still dying. The issue is now being reported in communities downriver, namely Maypen and Grace Bank. And there are still no definitive answers.

But yesterday we went on the Belize River and might have found the source of the problem. Jaleeza Roberts reports:

Yesterday we spent hours traveling a portion of the Belize River, from St. Paul's Bank to the More Tomorrow area, documenting the extent of the fish kill. But for locals and representatives from the Community Baboon Sanctuary, like Conway Young, the fish kill has sounded many alarms:

Conway Young, Representative - Community Baboon Sanctuary
"I don't think anyone has seen the amount that we've seen on the Belize River, so that's definitely concerning and alarming."

Conway Young
"A lot of people still do subsistence fishing, so they rely on that. More importantly, most of the small cattle ranches depend on the river to access water for their livestock. So that's the other major ways that people rely on the river."

The Department of the Environment issued its first official public advisory last night as investigators race to determine what caused the mass fish kill affecting communities along the Belize River Valley. While the investigation continues, the government is warning the public not to consume fish or other aquatic resources from the affected areas, not to drink untreated river water, and not to use untreated river water for cooking, livestock, or pets until further notice:

Conway Young
"They did come out with a team. They did some samples, and they said that they will get back to us. But to date, I haven't heard anything back from them as yet. So we're still waiting."

While dead fish remain visible in several locations, one area stood out. A waterway connected to a network of canals leading toward the Santander Sugar area. Unlike the main Belize River, the water inside Labour Creek appeared dramatically different. It was noticeably darker, with heavy algae buildup and a thick, muddy sludge coating sections of the creek. The contrast between the creek and the Belize River was impossible to ignore:

Conway Young
"Coming up this far, we got in at St. Paul's and we came out for an hour and a half boat ride. We haven't seen any fish kill coming down, but we can see significant difference in the water color when we got to Laboring Creek. Then we came to another point, which was actually a canal that was closed and recently reopened."

However, information obtained by our newsroom suggests that organic discharge may have entered the river system, reducing dissolved oxygen levels and causing fish to suffocate. Those sources indicate the river's natural flow may already be diluting the affected water and, if no additional discharge occurs, the worst of the event could pass soon. Although those claims have not been officially confirmed, the Department of Environment has commenced an investigation but has so far released no conclusive findings, only saying, quote, "The joint exercise included water quality monitoring and sampling, as well as assessments of land-clearing activities, potential wastewater discharge sources, and other factors that may have contributed to impacts on the aquatic environment." Tonight, the river valley communities are pressing for answers and accountability, because for those who live along the Belize River, this isn't just an environmental issue, it's their livelihood:

Conway Young
"We definitely want to get to the bottom of it to see what's causing it. If they find that it's some wrongdoing, that those persons responsible will be dealt with to the full extent of the law. Because the Belize River is not only just for the River Valley area, it's for the entire Belize district. This is where BWS gets its water from and everything, so it can have a large-scale effect."

Tonight, that growing cloud of uncertainty continues to hang over the quality of the Belize District's most vital resource: water. Jaleeza Roberts, 7 News.

The Santander Sugar Group has still not responded to our request for a comment.

Uncovering the Trail of Recondev's Stone Crusher in Belmopan

And, in other news that took us downâ€”not a murky river, but an unpaved roadâ€”we go to Belmopan where we're still trying to unravel the mystery of the million-dollar stone crusher that Recondev purchased in October of 2023.

We may just have found where the material from the quarry is being dumped, and let's just say it's offering us an inroad to the truth. Jaleeza Roberts reports:

For the past fourteen days, our newsroom has called the Reconstruction and Development Corporation requesting an interview with leadership. At first, the response was routine: Chairlady Myrna Waight was unavailable or out of office. Today, however, the response was markedly different. Listen to this latest exchange:

Jaleeza Roberts, Reporter
"Let's try this for the third time in two weeks. Hi, good afternoon, this is Jaleeza Roberts. I'm calling from Channel 7. I wanted to know if I could speak to Miss Myrna Waight, please?"

RECONDEV Receptionist
"Okay, so I won't be able to get you an appointment with her."

Jaleeza Roberts
"Okay. This is the third time I've been calling in two weeks to speak to her. Um, did you give her my message the last time?"

RECONDEV Receptionist
"Well I passed it on to our general manager but then he informed me that she won't be stationed at our office so like we won't be able to get that for you."

Jaleeza Roberts
"Well, um, please let your general manager know that once again we're inquiring about RECONDEV's participation in purchasing the stone crusher in 2023."

RECONDEV Receptionist
"Okay, I can pass on that message."

Jaleeza Roberts
"All right, thank you enjoy the rest of your day."

On July 29th, we aired the story of the stone-crusher we had located behind the Innovabel area. When that story was posted, it was as though we hit a piÃ±ata and candy began falling out as different sweet pieces of information started to appear, but nothing confirmed.

We had to follow it, literally. We drove once again to the yard where the stone-crusher operates and followed one of the trucks coming out of there. We followed it towards the J and W area and eventually, we found what we were looking for. These trucks with aggregate were being used to build roads in the area. So who lays down roads? Well according to our sources that is Recondev's domain. In that regard, it's notable that the Mayor of Belmopan has not answered our questions about the stone-crusher and Recondev isn't answering our calls. But one thing we know for sure is that aggregate is being extracted and material is being hauled quite likely on the public dime.

So what is the secret behind the mystery machine at the mine? How long has it been used, who is benefiting from its operation? And why did a mechanic in Shipyard need to make it operational? The investigation continues. Jaleeza Roberts, 7 News.

We'll keep pressing for answers.

Chamber President Addresses Ongoing Delays in UNCAC Implementation

UNCACâ€”we have been hearing about it since 2016! But it's still not being implemented in Belize.
Well, it may be because there's just no political will.

During the roundtable discussion with the media, the president of the Chamber discussed it candidly:

Giacomo Sanchez, President - BCCI
"That was signed in 2016. We are exactly 10 years milepost and what substantively has occurred? Nothing."

Jules Vasquez, Reporter
"And there has to be a reason for that."

Giacomo Sanchez
"There's no political will because the politicians look at it from both sides of the fence as if we're putting on bangles. We won't be able to do the kind of business that we're currently doing. And then we look like fools in the international community because we've signed onto something and we're not holding our end of the bargain."

Leader of Opposition Business Explains Significance of Historic Senate Walkout

In other news, we go back to Tuesday's historic Senate walkout. It is the first time in the 25 years of having independent senators that they walked out in protest.
They did so along with the UDP memberâ€”in opposition to the BTL decision to acquire Speednet.

Today we asked the leader of opposition business Patrick Faber about their walkout and the message behind it:

Patrick Faber, UDP Senator
"Absolutely I stand by that what was attempted to be done there was that we were to conduct the business as normal and I am not discounting the importance of any of what was going on in that CARICOM freedom of movement bill in fact that we were about to debate is very very important and at some point in this week we still intend to get out our points on that. We had just concluded that information session with the deputy director general of foreign trade and we made many concerns about that bill so that business was important but I think we would have missed an opportunity to send the alarm, sound the alarm and send the signal loud and clear that what was happening in the board room at BTL was much more important and that the government and the leadership and BTL were trying to hoodwink the Belizean people into a deal that all of us understand by now, it is not the UDP it is not only the independent senators the business community the church everybody, everybody in this country pretty much has sounded the alarm that we don't want this deal without the proper processes for accountability being followed and they were trying to push that down."

Faber Clarifies Church Representative's Position Despite Sitting In During Walkout

But one independent senator didn't walk out, and that's the church representative Luis Wade.

Faber says Wade may have stayed inside, but he shares their position and the churches are on their side of the opposition and the social partners.

Reporter
"What was your thoughts on Mr Wade, Senator Wade deciding to stay though in your view is he what people categorize as a sell out in the moment?"

Patrick Faber, UDP Senator
"Well I wouldn't go so far I wouldn't say that I would merely say that I know from his position with some of the other media heads, Jules Vasquez and I think Mose Hyde and he himself at one point held an entire press conference to say how strongly they opposed this and I think he missed a wonderful opportunity to send that message loud and clear in particular since it affects his business but we understand that he did not sit there in his capacity as a private business man, but even more so then because we know the churches position I believe he should have left with the other senators and made the powerful stance, in fact I want people to understand that had Senator Louis Wade walked out with the rest of us that the meeting itself would not have been able to continue because they would not have had a quorum in the senators you know the opposition has three members and there are four senators there so it would have been 7 to 6 and the quorum necessarily would not, I believe that is the case would not have been possible and the meeting would have had to close down for the time. And maybe that is a signal we want to explore for the future."

Opposition Highlights Importance of Political and Labor Movement Alignment

Faber also underscored the importance of collaboration and why his party met with the NTUCB today.

Patrick Faber, UDP Senator
"So the business of labor and the business of politics is not so far apart and in this instance and well not only in this instance all the time it is good for the political leaders and the labor leaders especially those who are in government in the case of the UDP since we are the opposition, the recognized opposition to have discussions with the labor. So we don't have a problem, in fact this kind of thing should happen not only when we are in crisis but other instances as well."

Faber Says Government Capitalized on Public Distractions to Push BTL Deal

And while the final decision to acquire Smart had dropped off the radar as the SmartStream payments scandal took the forefront, Faber says that it comes as no surprise to him that the PUP would take advantage of the noise in the market and attempt to go through with the acquisition.

Patrick Faber, UDP Senator
"I think what is at stake here for the Bricenos and what is at stake here for the PUP in general is very large and so in a way they have to proceed with what is going on here but the Belizean people should also ensure that they don't because this is in my opinion, personal, private business oriented over country movements and we should not stand for that and indeed I believe the prime minister and the administration probably sees that well there are so much other things going on what has happened you are right in the Ministry of Defense has really taken up the spotlight for a number of weeks now in fact because we continue to unravel what is going on there and it gets worse and worse every time so they might have thought well the pot has pretty much simmered in terms of all the ruckus that has gone on in the earlier times when BTL's acquisition of Smart was on the table so maybe it is a good time and in fact they didn't make much noise about it at all we understand that from out of Cabinet's meeting on Tuesday we didn't hear anything so they were trying to sneak it under the table but it is good it is a sequence of events that need to happen and that is why we can't remain silent at any point and that is why even our walkout was so important because we can't let it slide by we can't finish do the business of the people in the Senate and then wait. We had to make an alarm at the immediate time because the time is going and the process will pass us by."

Cabinet Approves New Aviation Security Surcharge and Cybercrime Bill Amendments

The price of a domestic flight is set to go upâ€”by almost 10%â€”but it has nothing to do with the local airlines; it's a security surcharge.
This comes after the hijacking of a Tropic Air flight in April of 2025, when an unscreened passenger with a knife got on board and hijacked the plane with 16 persons aboard.
That exposed a domestic air travel network that completely lacked any screening infrastructure. Since thenâ€”and the 7News exposÃ© of politically connected companies being paid but not delivering securityâ€”proper security has been put in place.
And now passengers will have to pay a $10.00 aviation security fee per departing passenger traveling through municipal airports within Belize.

In other news, Cabinet also gave its approval for amendments to be made to the Cybercrime Bill to clarify the scope of the offense in a manner consistent with the constitutional protection of freedom of expression. The amendments also include an important guardrail, requiring the DPP's written consent before prosecution of an offense can be initiated. This new amendment will "preserve the Government's ability to combat serious forms of technologically facilitated abuse." End quote. You can call this the Mira clause, since it protects against the kind of abuse that led to the frivolous charges against Alberto August.

Miss Earth Belize Delegates Prepare To Go Global in Pageant

At the top of the news, you heard that the Prime Minister spent 2 hours having lunch with the Miss Earth Belize delegates, but not even 5 minutes with the media. After that lunch, however, we got a chance to meet the 4 delegates ahead of Saturday's pageant. Courtney Menzies has this story: It's pageant week for the four delegates of Miss Earth Belize and today, they enjoyed a lunch with the Prime Minister at Maracas Bar & Grill in Orange Walk. According to the delegates, they engaged in productive dialogue to highlight their environmental concerns. Heavenly Bradley, Miss Earth Belize Delegate "Today's event was nothing less than amazing. It was awesome, this is my second time meeting the Prime Minister of Belize, the first time was when I competed in the Queen of the Bay pageant under the Belize City title so I found the conversation well informed and of course he has the right role as the Prime Minister, I wouldn't bet anything else on it." Heavenly Bradley "My platform I'm campaigning on is called from waste to worry and it's basically you learn that not because something is old doesn't mean it cannot be anew. We try to take old materials, trash, and try to turn it into treasure or meaningful pieces." Kendall Morgan, Miss Earth Belize Delegate "It was actually inspirational, I got to see a different side of the Prime Minister, we always hear him talking about governance issues like finance but now that he actually talks about our environment, it's something rare you see Prime Ministers talking about so we got to see a different side of him and I enjoyed that." Kendall Morgan "I remember seeing an article about the same Sarstoon, the river was polluted and it drove me to create this advocacy, paddling for preservation, protecting the Belize River, preserving our heritage. I use paddling as a sport because I am a national athlete to raise awareness so people can become educated and become environmental stewards." Vashti Thompson, Miss Earth Belize Delegate "I talked to him about my advocacy and he seemed very impressed with the work that I do with my community. I'm the community officer for the National Biodiversity Office so he made a joke saying that he's my boss because I work for the government." Vashti Thompson "My advocacy is community driver biodiversity conservation and youth environmental education and it's basically just educating people to properly care and coexist without environment." Vashti Thompson "Miss Earth is a very environmentally conscious pageant, it's one of the big three international pageants but it's totally focused on environmental change and advocacy, I really think it aligns with my personal values and also what I want to highlight not just as a Belizean but a person." Gwendolyn Galvez, Miss Earth Belize Delegate "It was great, we got to talk to him about the different environmental financing initiatives that they have for example the Blue Bonds and now the climate fund so that was interesting especially because of our platforms, they're all related to environmental conservation so we had a wonderful time picking the Prime Minister's brain on that." Gwendolyn Galvez "My entire life has been a part of conservation, through my mother, my family, everyone I am involved in has played some part in conservation in Belize." Gwendolyn Galvez "Some people say that their advocacy for Miss Earth, Miss Earth is advocacy for me because I've been doing environmental conservation and living among people who do it, I have great examples all over Belize and so I chose to do Miss Earth because I figured we have to give this platform a lot more substance and really focus on doing the things that will preserve the environment and not just pretending to do it." And the outgoing Miss Earth Belize was also there. She told us how she has been helping the delegates prepare for the first Miss Earth pageant in the country. Paris Cawich, Outgoing Miss Earth Belize "It's a good feeling, I am just passing on my knowledge of the pageant itself, on my experience, I am also learning a lot from each of the delegates, each of them are championing for a cause that is greater than them and I believe that we will have a really good representative this year at the Miss Earth Pageant." Paris Cawich "It's the first time that we're having pageant in Belize, we've actually won, this is the only pageant that Belize has ever won internationally and I would say it's at the standard of Miss Universe already because it has all the attention, the only difference with Miss Earth and Miss Universe is that Miss Earth stands for a great cause. They put high priority on the advocacy part." The pageant will be held at the Civic Center in Belize City. The pageant starts at 7 Saturday night.
