00:00It's a sacred morning for all of us because only recently, the winners of Miss Earth 2024 were announced.

00:08It was not only their beauty, but also their advocacy for the environment.

00:15And for that, we will be joined live here in the studio by Miss Earth Water 2024, Bea Milan-Wendorfsky,

00:23and the winner of Miss Earth 2024, Jessica Lane.

00:27Ladies, congratulations. Welcome to Rise and Shine, Filipinas.

00:31Thank you so much for having us.

00:34Thank you for gracing us today.

00:35Alright, how is it? How was the win?

00:38And did it sink in already that you won Miss Earth and Miss Earth Water?

00:42What was your reaction when the announcement was made?

00:46If ever, I was just super excited to be in the top four with Jessica.

00:51We actually have four crowns available up for grabs at Miss Earth.

00:55So that's four opportunities to have an international platform to make a real impact.

01:00And I'm so excited to work with Jessica because I know that we can advocate for real change.

01:06Jessica, you made history.

01:07This is the first time that Australia won the Miss Earth crown.

01:11How does it feel?

01:12That's right. It has started to sink in thanks to you amazing people.

01:16I think beforehand, it was really taking its time because as Olivia mentioned,

01:22we're both deep environmental advocates.

01:24We've been on this journey for sustainability our entire lives.

01:27So to be given the crown that final night and to be told that you will be a voice for the Earth for this entire year,

01:34it's such an honor and I'm truly so humbled.

01:37And I had my family and my national team supporting me in the front row.

01:42And when they called my name, there were tears.

01:44It was beautiful because Australia has come second three times and never come first.

01:50And this win brings home all four big pageant crowns for Australia.

01:54So it's making history and I'm so grateful for the organization.

01:57Congratulations for that.

01:58Right, Bea, you are half Filipina and half Polish, half American.

02:03Is that right?

02:04So you've been here in the Philippines several times.

02:06Yes. My mom is originally from Nueva Vizcaya,

02:10but my family has since kind of moved more to La Union in the Makati area.

02:15So it feels like a home away from home.

02:18And the Philippines is really where I developed my love for environmentalism.

02:23My Lola living in La Union, we love the ocean there.

02:26We love the surf. And I volunteer with a turtle sanctuary called Project Kerma.

02:32So they actually protect turtle hatchlings and make sure they properly make it to the ocean.

02:37Do you also love Ilocano food?

02:39Yes, I love the Mekpet.

02:42I love all of the flavors of the vegetables, how fresh Ilocano food is.

02:47So what are your plans after winning the title?

02:50So what will be your advocacy as your group, as your batch?

02:55So tell us about your plans.

02:57I think we both have quite a lot of plans.

02:59I think before the coronation, I knew that win or lose,

03:03I'd walk away with 76 new friends from across the world.

03:06And that was certainly the best prize of all.

03:08So I hope to go visit as many as I can and work in their countries on conservation efforts.

03:13Really, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

03:16So I hope to make this year a year of sustainability,

03:20a year of inspiring people to have that environmental love and passion.

03:24When I return to Australia, I'll be doing as much news broadcast as I can

03:28to get the message out there that beauty can be sustainable,

03:31to dress for tomorrow, which is my advocacy, promoting sustainable fashion.

03:36And I'll be working with local conservation groups to continue this journey.

03:40So your advocacy, as I understand, is dress for tomorrow.

03:43That's right, yes.

03:44It's highlighting that every person has the power to make a difference.

03:48If everyone shopped sustainably and stopped shopping fast fashion,

03:52we would reduce climate emissions by over 60%.

03:55This would be a massive difference for our beautiful Earth,

03:58and each of us has the power to make that difference.

04:00So I just believe that we all should make a difference

04:03and care about our Earth as much as we do.

04:06And that's what we're advocating for today.

04:07And you also understand that you are majoring in journalism and creative writing,

04:12so you're going to use that platform as well.

04:14Absolutely. My entire life, I've known my purpose,

04:17and that's to be a voice for the Earth.

04:19And I've been trying to find the right pathways and the right journeys

04:22to grow this platform and to inspire as many people as I can, hence journalism.

04:27And I aspire to be an environmental journalist.

04:30But thanks to Miss Earth, that circle of influence has grown so much.

04:33And I can't wait to explore this year and be inspired and inspire many others.

04:38Exciting.

04:39How about you, Bea?

04:39Are you, you know, making more visits here in the Philippines or staying here for good?

04:43What's your plan?

04:44Yeah, so my plan is to head back to the U.S. to claim my Filipino citizenship

04:49and actually move here in the next few months, probably April.

04:53I'm really passionate about climate displacement

04:56and the fact that climate change is intensifying natural disasters.

04:59We just experienced one of the worst typhoon seasons on record.

05:03So I'm really excited and passionate about coming here,

05:07trying to coordinate community engagement

05:11to make sure that we have robust resilience strategies for Filipinos.

05:16And I've always felt connected to the culture here.

05:19So it means the world to finally have an excuse to move here.

05:23Yeah, we are excited for you to be here for good.

05:27And also your advocacy is very timely and very relevant

05:30because recently we have been hit by several typhoons in our country.

05:35So I hope you could also partner with different government agencies.

05:39All right, some last few questions, ladies.

05:41To whom do you offer this win?

05:43Oh my goodness, there are so many people I have to thank.

05:46There really is. I'll start with my family.

05:48They're here today watching me.

05:49They've come all the way from Australia

05:51and they've just been my greatest support throughout this journey.

05:55They've always told me, I used to be a competitive swimmer,

05:57and they'd say, win, lose, anything.

06:00Our motto is leave it all in the pool.

06:02And I think that's what all of us did at the competition.

06:04We gave it our all. We gave it so much love and passion.

06:07So I have to thank them for their upbringing.

06:09But I also have an incredible team in Australia.

06:11My national director, Julieta, my manager, Hector, and my coach, RL.

06:16I couldn't have done this without them.

06:17As I mentioned, I've been an environmental advocate my entire life.

06:20But being a beauty queen is quite new to me.

06:23So I couldn't have done it without them.

06:25They must be very proud of you. All right.

06:28I would actually love to extend my thanks to the Filipino-American community

06:32and the Filipino diaspora.

06:34I was actually the first Phil-Am to ever represent the U.S. at Miss Earth.

06:39So there was so much support.

06:41I helped organize Phil-Am Fashion Week and was a part of that.

06:45So this was really a celebration of American culture,

06:49but also recognizing that regardless of when your parents

06:53or when your parents' parents came to this country,

06:55we're all part of one country.

06:58And I hope to bring that energy worldwide

07:00and help everyone recognize that we're all part of humanity.

07:03Very well. So, ladies, congratulations again.

07:06And all the best in your reign as Miss Earth and, of course, Miss Earth Water.

07:11Congratulations. Thank you so much.
