Philippines' Karen Ibasco wins Miss Earth 2017
The Philippines' Karen Ibasco was in tears after she was named Miss Earth 2017 out of a crowning liturgy night held at the Mall of Asia Arena on Saturday night.
The crown was passed onto Ibasco by Ecuador's Katherine Espin, a year ago's Miss Earth victor.
A restorative physicist, Ibasco's backing is rationing vitality and grasping inexhaustible and maintainable wellsprings of it.
Amid the opposition's last Q&A divide, Ibasco was asked who or what she supposes is the greatest foe of Mother Earth and why.
Ibasco stated: "I believe that the real problem in this world is not climate change. The real problem is us because of our 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-effect to help save our home, our planet."
The last time the Philippines won Miss Earth was in 2015 when the nation was spoken to by Angelia Ong. She succeeded another Filipina glamorous lady, Jamie Herrel, who won a similar title in 2014.
Beside Ibasco, alternate hopefuls making up her supposed natural court are Australia's Nina Robertson as Miss Earth Air 2017, Russia's Lada Akimova as Miss Earth Fire 2017 and Colombia's Juliana Franco as Miss Earth Water 2017.
