During the question and answer segment with the top 10 candidates, Naelah said social media plays a big role in achieving her goals despite the COVID-19 pandemic. “I believe that despite the restrictions in terms of the pandemic, we have social media to progress and move forward. I think that’s the beauty of the generation that we’re going through right now,” she said.
Naelah said she joined Miss Philippines Earth so she could have “a greater platform to promote the change I want to see in the world.”
She advocates to reduce current plastic waste by turning them into usable products. “I chose this because I believe that plastic is a serious issue that needs to be tackled with a better solution. We may need to stop single use plastic but we also need to figure out how to deal with the current plastic waste overload,” she explained.
Naelah will represent the Philippines in the Miss Earth 2021 pageant, which has yet to announce a finals date.
She is vying to become the fifth Filipina to win the Miss Earth title following Karla Henry (2008), Jamie Herrell (2014), Angelia Ong (2015), and Karen Ibasco (2017). |
