The Philippines posted a historic back-to-back win in the Miss Earth pageant as the country's representative, Angelia Ong, was crowned Miss Earth 2015 during the coronation night held Saturday [early Sunday morning in Manila] at the Marx Halle in Vienna, Austria.
Ong, who bested 85 women to claim the crown, succeeded Miss Earth 2014 and fellow Filipina Jamie Herrell.
Ong's victory marks the first time in the 15-year history of the pageant that a county won for the second time in a row.
In the question-and-answer portion, the 25-year-old beauty said that if she would come up with a slogan for the next 15 years of the pageant, it would be ""We will, because we can."
The runners-up in the said pageant were: Australia's Dayanna Grageda as Miss Earth - Air (first runner-up), USA's Brittany Payne as Miss Earth - Water (second runner-up) and Brazil's Thiessa Sickert as Miss Earth - Fire (third runner-up).
Miss Earth, which was first held in 2001, is among the world's largest beauty contests. The 2015 edition also marks the first time that the coronation night was held in Europe.
