City of Manila wins Miss Philippines Earth 2017

By -


"Everyone [is] experiencing climate change. I’m just grateful that the Philippines has signed the Paris Treaty. What I want to see is to pass a carbon tax. In that way, we would invest in renewable energy to help our world to be a better place, greener, inhabitable for the whole country."

Karen Ibasco, a 26-year-old physicist and college instructor representing Manila, won this year’s Miss Philippines Earth pageant and earned the right to represent the country in Miss Earth 2017 in November.


A contestant in last year’s Binibining Pilipinas pageant, Karen once dreamt of becoming a doctor but is glad that she was able to help cure the sick just the same in her capacity as a medical physicist.


And because of her profession, Karen’s advocacy is focused on “the conservation of energy and to embrace renewable and sustainable sources of energy in exchange for fossil fuel, which contributes to a huge percentage in global warming.”


Good luck to Karen and may she bring home the crown!

A little mishap during the National Costume segment for Miss Lucena City but she stood tall and proud. Wearing a 30-kilo gown was never easy. Just click this link.

Chester Bennington's widow was devastated following the Linkin Park frontman's suicide.

While Bennington's bandmates and peers have already spoken out about the rocker's untimely passing, Talinda Bennington has only just released a statement as she's still trying to make sense of the tragedy that has plagued her family. The former Playboy model explained: "One week ago, I lost my soul mate and my children lost their hero—their Daddy. We had a fairytale life and now it has turned into some sick Shakespearean tragedy.
