CONGRATULATIONS to Karla Paula Henry of the Philippines for winning the Miss Earth crown for Asia. Finally, Asia is represented!!!!
It was Miss Philippines’ night even before the announcement of the top 4 when she nailed the swimsuit and parading in a beautiful gown which is entirely different from her prelim gown. Her answer in the final question sealed her to the Miss Earth title. I personally was rooting for Miss Tanzania but she over-extended her answer to the question and lost her composure. Indeed, Karla gave the best answer that night. A well deserved win for the Philippines! OMG it’s like a Denise Quinones flashback when she won the Miss Universe crown at her native Puerto Rico.

miss earth 2008 was great compared to the other international beauty pageants as of this year. it was very awesome from start to finished. As of the winner from Philippines – she’s beautiful & very intelligent (compared to the other winners from different international beauty pageants). She’s an example of a queen with beauty & brain.
Karla represents the most beautiful of us asian women. I’m so proud to be a Filipina.
Hopefully we keep getting more respect in the world for our beauty, talent, and intelligence.
