The question-and-answer portion of the Miss Philippines Earth 2025 pageant was the final factor in selecting this year’s titleholder and who will be part of her elemental court.

The Top 5 contestants were judged for their grace, wit, and candor at the grueling question-and-answer segment of the Miss Philippines Earth 2025 pageant, which was held at Okada Manila in Parañaque on Sunday, August 10.

All they had to do was answer the question: How will you utilize the platform of Miss Philippines Earth to make a positive impact in the community?

Take a look at how they performed below:

Joy Barcoma of Bacoor City, Miss Philippines Earth 2025

For 25 years, Miss Philippines Earth has been on the forefront of environmentalism. If I am to become a queen of Miss Philippines Earth organization, I would like to evoke eco-consciousness to the youth, make smart innovations, and inclusive investments in the Philippines for us to be able to move forward. I like to prove that we are not just women of the Earth, we are also women of the future. Thank you.

Liz Mabao of Antipolo City, Miss Philippines Air 2025

Miss Philippines Earth have been celebrating 25 years of uplifting women. And as a queen, I wish to continue the legacy. It’s not just about arriving, it’s about continuing what’s already been done. And I aspire to be the next Miss Earth tonight to not just wear the crown to shine, but to uplift the community together with me. Thank you.

Angel Rose Tambal of ⁠La Paz, Leyte, Miss Philippines Water 2025

For the past 25 years, the Miss Philippines Earth organization had been advocating for our planet. As I stand here as a delegate, we have been given a platform to raise awareness and fight for the causes that we believe in. But as I stand here, I like to give this message of hope that we still have time to preserve and protect our Mother Earth, let us remember to encourage our government, involve our communities, and be responsible individuals. Because if we work hand in hand, anything impossible can be made possible for our Mother Earth and for our planet. Thank you.

Jaymie Strickland of Tallahassee, Florida, Miss Philippines Fire 2025

I would use my platform as Miss Philippines Earth 2025 to inspire and to encourage those, not just act on how to become more eco-friendly, more sustainable, but to do that in action. Thank you.

Kriezl Jane Torres of Talakag, Bukidnon, Miss Philippines Ecotourism 2025

As we celebrate our silver lining anniversary or the 25th year of Miss Philippines Earth, we have been committed to making our environment a good one. And each of the ladies here share a same responsibility and a goal which is to protect our Mother Earth. Despite different advocacies and different stands, we are here as queens not only for glitz and glamor, but of course, as inspiration for everyone especially to the youth that Miss Philippines Earth is not only for beauty but also for a cause. Because we are eco-warriors, thank you so much.
