""People are sometimes so self-centered that we always think about what’s best for us, but have we ever think (sic) about what’s best for humanity? If we are to consider all the decisions that we are making, then we are also considering the actions that we’re doing. It’s high time we protect the Earth by protecting each other, and by doing so, we are protecting the future generation.”"

"For 25 years, Miss Philippines Earth has been at the forefront of environmentalism. If I am to become a queen of Miss Philippines Earth organization, I would like to evoke eco-consciousness to the youth, make smart innovations and inclusive investments in the Philippines for us to be able to move forward because I'd like to prove that we are not just women of the earth, we are also women of the future,"

"Social justice, environmental justice is also human justice. And so we must make sure that every law we pass is a right for every person on Earth."
