Miss Earth Philippines organization, after two years of holding virtual competitions, is all set to host an on-site coronation for the 2022 edition. However, only 20 semi-finalists will be competing for the finals according to organizer Lorraine Schuck. The finale is slated for July 2022 in an out-of-town venue.

The organization took to their official social media to reveal the information in a post captioned, “A nationwide search for the next wave of Beauties for a Cause is now open to Filipinas. For the 22nd edition, #MissPhilippinesEarth takes on the theme “ME Loves Fauna” to emphasize the importance of caring for animal life. The theme also gives awareness of how animal life, whether wildlife or domestic, are essential members of the environment which must be given proper care and attention.”

The online screening of potential candidates will start on 1st March 2022. Aside from local regions, Miss Philippines Earth will also screen global applicants, notably from Filipino communities in Dubai, Middle East and USA.

Puerto Prinsesa, Palawan is one of the venues being considered for the Miss PH Earth finals to be aired on A2Z. Theme for this year is ‘Me and Fauna’ which will be highlighting the protection of animals and their habitat.

The reigning Miss Earth Philippines is Naelah Alshorbaji who finished in the top 8 at the conclusion of the 22nd Miss Earth virtual pageant last year.
