net Athlete-beauty queen Alexie Mae Brooks will be off to Egypt later this April to represent the Philippines in the Miss Eco International 2025 pageant, with the aim of bagging the country’s third victory in the environment-themed international competition. The 24-year-old model and business administration graduate from Iloilo is set to fly to Egypt on Tuesday, April 8, to be able to begin her fellowship with fellow candidates at the Miss Eco International 2025 pageant, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. The Miss Universe Philippines organization held a sendoff media conference for Brooks on Monday, April 7, attended by Miss Supranational Philippines 2025 Tarah Valencia.
“Sending off our The Miss Philippines Eco International 2025 @alexie_brooks.official with love, pride, and endless support! Go get that crown, Alexie!” MUPH said in a joint post on Instagram. A post shared by The Miss Philippines (@the_missphilippines) Brooks first represented the Philippines as a heptathlete in the 31st Southeast Asian Games in Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2022.
She then ventured into pageantry and clinched the Miss Iloilo crown in 2024, sending her to the Miss Universe Philippines pageant last year. She emerged as one of the 10 finalists in the national pageant and received her own title as The Miss Philippines-Eco International after the competition. Since then, her closest family passed, her “Lola Basing.
” She said that she believes her grandmother will now be an angel that will guide her in her journey to the crown. She has been undergoing training with renowned pageant camp Aces & Queens, and has tapped the “pasarela queen” herself, 2024 Miss Grand International first runner-up CJ Opiaza, for her on-stage presentation. Brooks has been constantly topping the race for the eco-tourism video on the pageant’s official YouTube channel ahead of the actual competition in Alexandria.
Based on the recent count released on Monday, April 7, she has recorded 71,468 views. The United Kingdom’s part-Filipino representative Victoria Repollo Inglis ranked second with 59,786 views. Two Filipino women had already been crowned Miss Eco International: Cynthia Thomallia in 2018 and Kathleen Paton in 2022.
Three more Philippine representatives finished second in the international competition: Maureen Montagne in 2019, Kelley Day in 2021, and Chantal Schmidt in 2024. The 2025 Miss Eco International final competition will be held at the Al Zahraa Ballroom of Hilton Green Plaza in Alexandria on April 19 (April 20 in Manila)..
