On the night of November 9, 2008, Karla Paula Henry made the Filipinos proud once again, when she was crowned Miss Earth 2008 and bested 84 other beauty queens from around the world.

Karla Paula Henry is a Filipino Canadian beauty queen and a Cebu-based model. She is the first Miss Earth-Pinay title holder to be crowned Miss Earth since Jessica Trisko who was crowned Miss Earth 2007 and also a Filipino Canadian was a Miss Earth-Canada representative. Karla is also the first from Asian countries to win the title.

Her winning answer to the final question:

“What would you tell US president-elect Barack Obama about the state of the global environment if ever you were to meet him?”

was:

“Environmental knowledge is something that all of us must share, but most importantly we must teach the youth that this is something that we should instill in them so that in the near future they will be the ones to take care of our mother Earth.”

She is indeed more than just a beautiful face and body but her grace, confidence, sincerity and brains is what made her shine the most.

Karla Paula Ginteroy Henry is 21 years old from Cebu.

She was crowned Miss Philippines Earth 2008 at the Crowne Plaza Galleria in Ortigas, Mandaluyong City.

She will then represent the Philippines at the Miss Earth 2008 pageant. We are hoping that she could bring home the title. Congratulations and Good Luck Karla…

Carlene Aguilar | Miss Earth 1st Winner

The first Miss Philippines Earth was held sometime during 2001 and Miss Carlene Aguilar was the first crowned Miss Philippines Earth . I was still in college then, I remember the contestants visiting our school to plant trees and as a student assistant we we’re the one assigned to take pictures for documentation purposes, while these beauties are doing their charity work (though it looks really funny to see them all made up, all stunningly stooping down to the ground digging and planting, while smiling at the camera ) Carlene was already a stand out among the contestants. After winning Carlene was able to enter showbiz and recently been involved to some amusing series of incidents starting with Dennis Trillo, the father of her child (who first denied being the father) and recently with Cristine Reyes, the ex-girlfriend of Dennis.
