In a dazzling display of grace and beauty, the newly crowned Miss Philippines Earth 2025, Joy Barcoma, opened up about her aspirations for transformation in her life. 

With a radiant smile illuminating her face, Joy shared her heartfelt desire to embark on a journey of meaningful change, inspiring those around her to embrace their paths of personal growth and positive impact.

Asked about what she wanted to change in her life, Joy said: "I have always wanted to change my perspective in life - the way I see things, the way I feel things, and the way I assess things. 

"I think that whenever you feel the need to change the perspective of something, it changes the totality, the whole of you, changes the way you see things, the way you feel things, and the way you think for people. So if there's one thing I want to change, it's my perspective," the eloquent beauty queen from Bacoor, Cavite, responded, during an interview for Pageant Trend.

Joy, 25, was crowned Miss Philippines Earth 2025 at Okada Manila last Aug. 10.

The new beauty queen finished broadcasting at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. Previously, she joined Miss World Philippines 2021, where she placed in the top 24 contestants.

Other winners were: Miss Philippines Fire 2025, Miss Tallahassee, Florida USA, Jaymie Strickland; Miss Philippines Air 2025, Miss Antipolo City, Liz Mabao;  Miss Philippines Water 2025,  Miss La Paz, Leyte, Angel Rose Tambal; and Miss Philippines Eco Tourism 2025, Talakag, Bukidnon, Kriezl Jane Torres.
