May 11, 2014 Showbiz News

The Philippines crowned Sunday its bet to this year’s Miss Earth, 19-year-old Jamie Herrell of Cebu City. The coronation nigh was held at the Mall of Asia Arena.

The Cebuana teen succeeded Angelee delos Reyes who placed 8th at last year’s international pageant.

Jamie impressed the cheering crowd during the question and answer portion when she eloquently answered judge Akbayan partylist spokesperson Risa Hontiveros’ question on whether humans have been good children to Mother Earth.

“We haven’t been good children. In fact, I believe that we are the number one cause of our her problems,” she replied, receiving thunderous applause from the audience.

She added, “We are the reason why we’re having climate change. We are the reason why we’re having floods. But in return, if we can only help her, she can help us back and take care of us, too.”

Miss Earth is considered one of the world’s Big Four Beauty Pageants (along with Miss Universe, Miss World and Miss International).
