Working student from Manila crowned Miss Philippines Earth 2015

Miss Philippines Earth 2015 Angelia Gabrena Ong

Congratulations to the newly crowned Miss Philippines Earth 2015 Angelia Gabrena Ong of Manila. Angelia was crowned during the beauty pageant’s grand coronation night held at the Mall of Asia Arena last 31 May 2015.

During the Q&A portion, Angelia was asked by actress Zsa Zsa Padilla, "Do you believe in same-sex marriage? Why or why not?"

Angelia answered: "I think, it really depends on the person if he or she believes in (same) sex marriage but as for me, if the person feels that he or she needs to be married to show his or her love, then I don't mind having (same) sex marriage. If you feel that that is love, then so be it."
