Below is Karla Paula Henry, our new Miss Earth 2008. She is the first Filipina to hold the title - most known (prior to this) as the one which Priscilla Meirelles won.
Apparently, Miss Earth is considered as one of the three largest beauty pageants in the world. It has been held here in the Philippines since 2001 - so I guess it was conceptualized by Filipinos.
Prior to winning Miss Earth, Ms. Karla Henry (who has a Wikipedia entry) was a Cebu-based model (height: 5′9″). Additionally, she also “brought home” the Miss Earth Designers Award and Miss Photogenic special award from said pageant.
lab her eyes!
