Tereza Fajksová of the Czech Republic bested 80 international candidates, as she was crowned winner in Alabang, Muntinlupa City on Saturday.
Tereza Fajksová of the Czech Republic was named Miss Earth 2012 at the coronation night held Saturday night at the Versailles Palace.
Miss Earth 2011 Olga Álava of Ecuador awarded the crown to her successor. In turn, an emotional Fajksová took the runway and paraded in her long gown. After falling on her knees from tripping on her gown, Fajksová took no time to stand with aid from her fellow contestant.
The Miss Earth Question for the Top 4 beauties was, "What would you consider as your defining moment as a woman?"
Stephany Stefanowitz drew applause for pointing to her fight for the conservation and preservation of the environment, as well as her advocacy for renewable energy. At first admitting she did not understand the question (asked in English), Fajksová, meanwhile, answered that it is everyone's duty to protect and respect Mother Earth.
The Philippines' Stephany Stefanowitz was named Miss Air (1st runner-up); Venezuela's Osmariel Villalobos, Miss Water (2nd runner-up); and Brazil's Camila Brant, Miss Fire (3rd runner-up).
Delegates from South Africa (Tamerin Jardine), Russia (Natalia Pereverzeva), Nepal (Nagma Shrestha), and the United States of America (Siria Bojorquez), completed the Top 8 finalists.
Rounding up the victors of the special awards are India's Prachi Mishra for Miss Congeniality; Venezuela's Osmariel Villalobos, Miss Photogenic; and Thailand's Waratthaya Wongchayaporn, Best in National Costume.
