The Philippines’ bet Michelle Arceo has won the Miss Ecosystem title as the first runner-up winner in the first-ever Miss Environment International pageant held in Mumbai, India.
Aside from her runner-up finish, Arceo also bagged the Best in Environmental Video and Best in National Costume awards in the pageant.
The Filipina model from Quezon City won her three titles in the competition’s Grand Finals in Mumbai on April 2, 2022 (April 3, Manila time).

Michelle Arceo thanked everyone who supported her journey in the beauty pageant.
“To everyone who made this journey possible. Thank you for filling my heart with so much love and support. I am so proud to have carried the Philippine sash across my heart and raise our flag on the international stage. I know I gave my absolute all and I promise I will work even harder next time! I’m not quitting here. If one door closes another will open,” Michelle Arceo wrote in an Instagram post.
“Thank you to my core team for making me into the queen I am today. Without each and every one of you, I couldn’t have succeeded. It truly takes a village to create a queen,” Arceo added.
