TRANSCRIPT: How the Miss Philippines Earth 2026 Top 5 answered the Q&A
The Top 5 delegates of the Miss Philippines Earth 2026 are officially taking on the second round of the Q&A during this high-stakes coronation night on June 27.
Standing on the main stage, each finalist was given a strict 30-second time limit to deliver a response to this profound question on leadership and impact: "People often remember what a queen says, but even more, they remember what she does in the spirit of love and action, how would you honor the responsibility that comes with the crown?"
See how they answered below:
Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte
Roveelaine Eve Castillo: The words of a beauty queen is considered by the society as gospel fruits or testaments, and so it's important to be mindful of our words, but more importantly, is to be mindful of our actions, because children see us as icons, and therefore they, we embody the values of what it means to be eco warriors and environmental protectors, because as beauty queens we have larger impact in that society, and that means living with love and leading with love. Thank you.
Ballesteros, Cagayan
Rina Andrea Delos Santos: As a community tour guide, I'm not just ready for the crown, but I am ready for the environmental and global responsibility that comes with it. I guide it every single day in working towards putting the Philippines in a position that is not just a model for sustainability and environmental stewardship, but also a destination of beauty, and for me that exactly what is love in action. Remember, love changes nothing unless it moves, and when it moves, it truly changes everything. Thank you.
Tumauini, Isabela
Prima Joy Narag Alamban: The Miss Philippines Earth is a huge responsibility. This is not just being a queen, this is becoming an environmental stewardship. If I were to become your queen, I will speak through my heart and speak to important causes, such as elevating the lives of our farmers, because I believe that the greatest form of love is to act, and this is my love and action for the earth.
Agoo, La Union
Patricia Anne Nichole Bangug: As a nurse, for me the most powerful form of love is prevention. It is when no child ever gets sick from pollution, no family loses their homes to flood. I want to inspire environmental health literacy, and for us to have reverence for our nature. If I win, I know that I will carry it with love, compassion, and purpose. Thank you.
Mandaluyong City
Alyssa Mildred Villarina: I would honor the responsibility by leading with purpose, by leading with passion. My advocacy, urban gardening and tree planting, focuses not just on growing our own plant, not just creating green spaces, but also having a fresh air and developing the mental well-being of everyone around us, and that's why I ask you to join me in my cause, because we don't need an individual who practices sustainability perfectly. What we need is millions of people who practice it with love and consistency. Good evening Bukidnon and salamat kaayo.
