Watching her the entire night last year, I was very nervous at her. I DIDN'T WANT HER TO WIN. My heart goes with Fahsai and Juliana all the way. But as soon as she entered the Top 4 after the Hashtag round, my guts are telling me that she'll win because she was the only one who gave strong answers. It was a Miss Q&A version of Miss Earth last year. When she won, I was just silent about her because I know she's being heavily bashed. What I loved about her attitude is that she remained calm, and she had many supporters from her fellow queens.
About her reign as Miss Earth, hers might not be the best compared to Angelia (my favorite Miss Earth reign) and to other Filipina Miss Earth queens, but she proved herself to be that beauty queen who walks the talk. One of the most intelligent and compassionate Miss Earth titleholder to date.
You might bash her for her saying that the bar is set high from last year, she was right at some point. The bar was set high in terms of environmental awareness and intelligence. And you can see than from most delegates this year. More than half of the girls are so deserving to Top 18 due to beauty and intelligence. It was Karen's 'legacy', I must say.
But it's time for a new winner, you can see it from her that she's ready to give up her crown and start a new life after her reign. So I would like to congratulate her for her year as Miss Earth 2017.
PHILIPPINES! UNIVERSAL QUEENS!
