| Karen Ibasco is Miss Earth Philippines 2017 |
This
has been the fourth Miss Earth title for the Philippines as the country has
snagged the crown in 2008 (Karla Henry), 2014 (Jamie Herrell) and 2015 (Angelia
Ong).
The
other winners of the night included Miss Australia Nina Robertson for Miss Air
2017 and Miss Russia Leda Akimova for Miss Fire 2017.
Karen
also gave an insightful response during the Q&A portion of the competition.
When
asked what the biggest enemy of Mother Earth is and why, she said, “I
believe that the real problem in this world is not climate change. The real
problem is us because of ignorance and apathy. What we have to do is to start
changing our ways, to start recalibrating our minds and redirecting our steps
because together, as a global community, our micro-efforts will have a
macro-affect to save out home, our planet.”
Ibasco's
advocacy is conserving energy and embracing renewable and sustainable sources.
Australia’s Nina Robertson was crowned Miss Earth-Air, while Colombia’s Juliana
Franco and Russia's Lada Akimov were named Miss Earth-Water and Miss
Earth-Fire, respectively. (SunStar Philippines)
