MANILA -- Jamie Herrell of Cebu City was crowned Miss Philippines Earth 2014 at the beauty pageant's grand coronation night held at the Mall of Asia Arena on Sunday night.
The 19-year-old beauty from the Queen City of the South is an animal rights advocate, according to the Miss Philippines Earth website.
"My environmental advocacy is anti-animal cruelty. Because I have seen how some people treat animals in a wrong way and I believe animals should be treated with love or at least in a proper manner," she said.
Herrell will represent the Philippines in the international beauty pageant, Miss Earth.
She will also serve as the ambassador to environmental protection campaigns in the country.
