The Philippines has crowned its 2023 representative for the eco-focused Miss Earth, one of the major global beauty pageants.
Yllana Marie Aduana, 24, a medical technology graduate, beat 27 other competitors to win Miss Philippines Earth 2023 at a glitzy ceremony in Toledo, Cebu on Saturday night. She was crowned by the outgoing title holder Jenny Ramp.
Representing Laguna province, Aduana, who competed at the same pageant in 2021 and made it to the Top 10, was a crowd favourite from the start.
