During the final Q&A segment, the candidates were asked:
“Imagine the world in 2050. What’s one thing you hope has changed?”
Brooks delivered a powerful and heartfelt answer:
“If you want me to be realistic, climate change is impacting our world right now. And the only thing that we can do is to act towards it.
Brothers and sisters, ladies and gentlemen, we have the same mother even if we came from different nations. And we in here are brothers and sisters right now. And our mother is asking for our help. So we must save our planet Earth and we must take care of our Mother Earth. Thank you so much.”
Her sincerity and message of unity deeply resonated with the panel and global viewers, cementing her win.
Brooks’ triumph continues the Philippines' impressive track record at Miss Eco International.
She follows in the footsteps of Cynthia Thomalla (Miss Eco International 2018) and Kathleen Paton (2022). The country also boasts first runner-up finishes from Maureen Montagne (2019), Kelley Day (2021), and Chantal Schmidt (2024).
