During the final question-and-answer portion, Brooks was asked: “Imagine the world in 2050. What’s one thing you hope has changed and why?”
The Ilonggo stunner remained calm and composed as she delivered her answer in under a minute.
"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,” Brooks said.
Alexie is the third Filipina to win the Miss Eco International title, which was first held 10 years ago.
Cynthia Tomalla and Kathleen Paton previously brought home the crown in 2018 and 2022, respectively.
