Pinoy beauty Angelia Gabrena Ong is at the closure of her reign and the beauty is all set to pass on her reign to her successor at the finals of Miss Earth 2016 to be held on 29th October 2016. Although it was a short reign of 10 months for Angelia, she still managed to pull the best out of these few months.

Angelia shared her experience during her journey as Miss Earth and recalled all the pleasant memories of her reign. The beauty is also proud of the fact that the slogan she coined during the Q&A of Miss Earth 2015, is now the motto of the pageant.  “I’ve been telling people about that slogan even during the national pageant, and then in Vienna too, but it was only acknowledged and given importance after I had the chance to use it in my answer on pageant night,” Ong told The Sunday Times Magazine at the press presentation of Miss Earth’s 2016 candidates at Diamond Hotel Manila.

Angelia’s victory was tainted by the question over the credibility of the pageant’s judgement. However, Angelia accepted everything with grace and moved ahead with her ideologies. “There was only one Filipino in the panel [of judges]. Ms. Lorraine Schuck [founder and organizer of Miss Earth], and two United Nations bigwigs [Dick Gomer of United Nations Industrial Development Organization and United Nations Women’s Guild President Diana Oyugi]. That shows the decision was beyond question.

Even previously, and in all editions of Miss Earth, a single Filipino in the panel will never and can never influence the final results because the rest of the judges come from different fields and different countries.

Finally, there’s an auditing firm that tallies the scores and submits the results to the organizers before the hosts can announce the winners,” said Ong.

Keeping all the negativity aside, Angelia is now looking forward to pass on the crown to the next ambassador, and she didn’t shy away from accepting that she is hoping for a back to back for Philippines this year too.

As the beauty gives up one title on the night of 29th October, she will receive another title. Well, the Pinoy beauty will receive her diploma in BSBA Marketing Management from De La Salle University’s College of Saint Benilde. Her graduation ceremony will take place on the morning of October 29 at PICC, after which she will proceed to the MoA Arena and prepare for the grand coronation night of Miss Earth 2016.
