In the much-awaited question and answer portion, the finalists had to answer the question, "Who or what do you think is the biggest enemy of Mother Earth and why?"
Karen Ibasco answer,
“I believe that the real problem in this world is not climate change. The real problem is us because of our ignorance and apathy. What we have to do is to start changing our ways, to start recalibrating our minds and redirecting our steps because together, as a global community, our micro-efforts will have a macro-effect to help save our home, our planet.”
Winning three gold and two silver medals in the pre-pageant competitions - Ibasco won gold in both Darling of the Press and Best in National Costume - Asia and Oceana wearing a Louis Pangilinan creation, and in Group 2 Swimsuit Competition.
