2011 MISS PHILIPPINES EARTH - ATHENA IMPERIAL




Athena Imperial was crowned as the 2011 Miss Philippines Earth at the Puerto Princesa City Coliseum last Sunday, June 5. 

Athena, 24, works as a Program Researcher in a giant TV network hoping to become a reporter someday. 

Through online voting, the people were asked who among the finalist should win Miss Philippines Earth. Imperial was neck and neck with the representative of Cebu City Muriel Orais. In the end, the Casiguran- Aurora beauty won the People's Choice award. 

Though this special award had no bearing with the outcome of the winners, it was apparent that the public and the judges' decision were one in the same. 

Her outstanding eloquence and subdued charm led her to taking home the much coveted crown. 

Athena Imperial will represent the Philippines in the Miss Earth pageant to be held in Thailand in November. 

The country now looks up to the new Ambassadors of the Environment. The finalists who completed the court of Athena Imperial were Jonavi Quiray-Miss Philippines Air, Muriel Orais-Miss Philippines Water, Michelle Gavagan-Miss Philippines Fire and Tarhata Rico-Miss Philippines Ecotourism.
