Miss Philippines CROWNED Miss Earth 2008



It's official. Philippines bet Karla Henry is now Miss Earth 2008. Henry toppled over 84 more contestants for the spot. As usual, the defining moment that truly sets the Filipinos apart from other countries is the ability to see the point and deliver a powerful answer. Filipino beauty contestants are known for their wit and composure in answering tough questions. Except maybe for the famous--- okay, I don't even need to mention her name.

For the final question, the contestants were asked what they would tell president-elect Barack Obama about the global environment if ever they do get the chance to meet. And... seasoned to perfection Henry answered (surprise surprise) education. She promptly answered that she would want global awareness to be included in curriculums of schools worldwide.

Henry also won the Miss Earth Designers Award and Miss Photogenic special award.
