But before we the finale, it’s necessary to get to know the ladies fighting for the crown.
The representative of Passi City is Ann Roxal Palmares. The beauty queen has been given the title of the Goddess Of Mount Madia-as. 19 years old, Ann is an Accounting Technology Student. She stands tall at 5 feet 8 inches and measures 35 inches - 25 inches - 38 inches.
She grew up with her aunts and studied in Iloilo City since her family's living in the province. She has learned that ‘life doesn’t always favour us, so we should be able to compromise and be persistent. Luck favours the prepared.’ The most cherished and memorable moment in her life has been when she qualified for Miss Philippines Earth.
She wants to be Miss Philippines Earth 2018 because in order to influence she should be influential. To be Miss Philippines Earth 2018 is an instrument for her to influence people to be a catalyst of change, where she can share a vision with the people to make this world a healthy place to live in even if in a simple but collective way. It is also an opportunity for her to get to discover more about life and its beauty.

Her advocacy, as a woman of the earth whose passion is inspired by her conviction to help save our environment, is reforestation, a way to rebuild and replenish our depleted forests since they are the lifeblood of our planet. Rebuilding the ecosystem of the forest where trees facilitate biosequestration of atmospheric carbon monoxide and preventing global warming, is something she is passionate about. Replenishing Philippines’ forest comes from heartfelt conviction by joining tree planting activities on locations where deforestation occurred. It takes a strong commitment to turn this advocacy into a moving force of change to save the forests, the very lifeblood of mother earth. She wants to organize youth volunteer groups that would work with government agencies and the LGU in Passi in pursuing tree planting that supports reforestation advocacy. It takes true passion to plant a seed and another one that leads to nurturing our conviction to rebuild our forest. She will be brave enough to lead the movement for reforestation campaign in our city and hopefully let the world see what we've started.
She is driven, and ready to compete for the crown that is held currently by Miss Earth 2017 Karen Ibasco.
