Jamie Herrell of Cebu is 2014 Miss Earth Philippines

The 19-year-old Cebuana won the prestigious beauty pageant held last night, May 11, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. No doubt a stunner, Jamie especially wowed everyone during the question and answer portion where she was asked by former Akbayan lawmaker Risa Hontiveros if she thinks we’ve been good or bad children to Mother Earth. “Honestly, in my opinion, we haven’t been good children. In fact, I believe that we are the number one cause of her problems. We are the reason why we’re having climate change, and we are the reason why we’re having floods. But in return, if we can only help her and salvage her, she will help us back and take care of us, too,” she confidently answered.

Here are the rest of the winners:

Miss Philippines – Water: Kimberly Covert of Dumaguete City

Miss Philippines – Air: Dianne Querrer of Tanauan City

Miss Philippines – Fire: Bianca Paz of Gapan City

Miss Philippines – Eco-Tourism: Monique Manuel of Dinalupihan City

Last year’s winner, Angelee Delos Reyes, was Top 8 in the Miss Earth pageant. We have good feeling Jamie will place so much higher this year.
