The Miss Philippines Earth pageant is looking for the next beauty queen who will "uplift the Eco-Tourism of the Philippines and its Heritage."

This year's campaign highlights the country's heritage. “What we have inherited from the past, we value and enjoy in the present, and preserve and pass on to the future generations,” read the art card.

The position requires candidates who have never been married and have not given birth. They must also be at least 5 feet and 4 inches in height, with above-average communication skills, and knowledge of and concern for the environment.

Aspiring beauty queens must submit an accomplished application form, a copy of their birth certificate and high school or college diploma, and the latest digital copies of their headshot, long gown, and swimsuit photos.

The requirements must then be submitted to [email protected] (NCR), [email protected] (Luzon), [email protected] (Visayas), and [email protected] (Mindanao).

The Philippines' Yllana Marie Aduana, a medical laboratory scientist, was crowned Miss Earth – Air 2023 last December in Vietnam. She also made it to the Top 5 Best Appearance, named Miss Earth 2023's Best Bikini, and placed in the Top 12 Best National Costume category.

Just recently, she was named Asia's Most Empowered Young Woman Environmentalist Icon by the Thailand International Leadership Awards.

She will be awarded on April 27 at the S31 Sukhumvit Hotel in Thailand.
