PH bet Roxanne Baeyens of Baguio City is Miss Earth-Water 2020

Baguio City – The country’s Eco Angel Roxanne Allison “Roxie” Agnaonao Baeyens won the title as Miss Earth-Water 2020 in the recently concluded international virtual pageant held on November 29, 2020.

Miss Baeyens was also chosen as Jewel Beauty Strong Earth Ambassador. She further bagged Asia and Oceania’s Best in Talent and Best in Long Gown during the pre-pageant competition.

During the final question and answer portion, she was asked with an opportune concern which goes: “This year 2020 brought us a lot of conspiracy theories and conflicting news also known as fake news. How do you reconcile this with the concept of truth?”

She then confidently delivers her winning answer: “As citizens, we have to know what is fiction or not and we have to filter what we see on social media and only check what is valid because as human beings, we could only check the truth. Mostly now that we are in a global health pandemic, we cannot afford fake news. We just have to work in solidarity and unified people to be able to reach out. And I am standing here today because I care for the people and mother Earth is a loving place that is worth fighting for! So no to fake news.”

On her Instagram post, she expressed her gratitude to the Miss Earth Organization for the overall experience that helped her grow as a person and for letting the candidates speak their environmental advocacies.

She also gave thanks to Filipinos who supported and guided her along her way.

“It was a year long journey of up and downs, twist and twirlies, but if there’s one thing I have learned, it is that everything worth having is worth working hard for with all your heart. This is for us, all of us,” reads her post.

The 23-year old Miss-Earth Water 2020 is a native of Besao, Mt. Province and was raised in the city.
