Meet Karen Ibasco, the physicist who was recently crowned Miss Philippines-Earth 2017. She will represent the country in the forthcoming Miss Earth 2017 pageant to be held at the Mall of Asia Arena this November.

Kinoronahan bilang Miss Philippines-Earth 2017 ang physicist na si Karen Ibasco, 26, sa ginanap na pageant nitong Sabado ng gabi, July 15, sa Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay City.

Tinalo ni Karen, taga-Maynila, ang 39 pang kandidata, at kinoronahan siya ng kanyang predecessor na si Loren Mar Artajos.

Si Imelda Schweighart ang kinoronahang Miss Philippines-Earth noong nakaraang taon, subalit nagbitiw ito dahil sa kinasangkutang kontrobersya, kaya't si Loren—na unang kinoronahan bilang Miss Philippines-Water—ang nagputong ng korona kay Karen ngayong taon.

Sa final question, tinanong si Karen kung anong pagbabago ang gusto niyang makita sa national environmental policies.

Ang winning answer niya: “In terms of environmental policies, everyone is experiencing climate change. The whole world is experiencing climate change and I’m just grateful that the Philippines signed the Paris Treaty. What I want to see is to pass a carbon tax. In that way, we would invest in renewable energy to help our world be a better place, greener and habitable for the whole humanity.”
