Miss Philippines Earth

Miss Philippines Earth (2004–2017, 2019–present), originally titled Miss Philippines (2001–2003) then Miss Earth Philippines (2018), is a national beauty pageant held annually in search of "the most beautiful and environmentally-conscious and aware woman" in the Philippines.

The grand winner of the pageant represents the Philippines in Miss Earth, one of the Big Four international beauty pageants – the most coveted beauty titles among all the international pageant competitions.

The current titleholder is Joy Barcoma of Bacoor, Cavite who was crowned on August 10, 2025 in Okada Manila, Pasay, Metro Manila. The elemental queens are, namely, Maria Flordeliz Mabao (Miss Philippines Air), Angel Rose Tambal (Miss Philippines Water), Jaymie Strickland (Miss Philippines Fire) and Kriezl Jane Torres (Miss Philippines Eco-tourism).

The Miss Philippines Earth was founded in 2001 by Carousel Productions headed by its president, Ramon Monzon who is also the president, CEO, and director of the Philippine Stock Exchange and chairman of the PSE Foundation, Inc. and spearheaded by Ramon's wife Lorraine Schuck as executive vice president and Peachy Veneracion as the vice president and project director.

Carousel Productions relinquished the franchise for both Mutya ng Pilipinas (Beauty of the Philippines) and Miss Asia Pacific International beauty contests in 2001 and decided to establish a beauty pageant whose cause is to promote environmental preservation. As a result, Miss Philippines (currently called Miss Philippines Earth) and Miss Earth pageants were established.

Miss Philippines beauty pageant was formally launched in a press conference on 3 April 2001 with the search of a delegate to represent Philippines in the international Miss Earth pageant. From 2005 to 2010, Miss Philippines Earth also appoint one of the runner-ups or finalists to represent the country on the Miss Tourism Queen International. The pageant has tie-ins with the Philippine government agencies such as the Philippine Department of Tourism (DoT), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), as well as international environmental groups such as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Greenpeace to further its environmental advocacy.

In its formative years, the pageant was simply known as Miss Philippines (2001–2003) and then it was changed to Miss Philippines Earth (2004–2017, 2019–present) since the winner represents the Philippines to the Miss Earth pageant. In 2018, the title was renamed to Miss Earth Philippines to emphasize the global "Miss Earth" brand. However, in 2019, the pageant reverted its name to "Miss Philippines Earth" to assert to its legal rights claim since Carousel Productions legally owns the trademark "Miss Philippines" title according to its executive vice president, Lorraine Schuck.

The pageant contestants are called Beauties for a Cause. The competition includes swimsuit competition, evening gown parade, talent competition, but more weight is given to personality and also to ecological and environmental intelligence in the interview portion.
