Philippine bet Beatriz McLelland was hailed 1st Princess (or 1st runner-up) during the finals of Miss Eco Teen 2022, the sister pageant of Miss Eco International. It took place on December 12 at the Concord Moreen Beach Resort in Marsa Alam, Egypt.
Placing second to India’s Cherisha Chanda, Beatriz still, nonetheless, put up a good fight. Completing the Top 5 are runners-up from the USA, Spain, and England (2nd to 4th princess, respectively.)
In the weeks-long pre-pageant activities, the 20-year-old beauty queen from Aklan manages to consistently stand out. Acing various competitions such as winning best in Resort Wear as well as finishing 2nd runner-up in Talent.
Truly, Beatriz did an amazing job which further cements the country’s status in the pageant.
Since acquiring Miss Eco Teen in 2018, we have sent stellar candidates with satisfying results. In 2019, Daena Resurreccion caps off our debut participation by placing in the Top 5. A year later, Roberta Tamondong would go on and win our first Miss Eco Teen crown.
In 2021, Tatyana Austria would come close to achieving a back-to-back win, settling for a runner-up finish. As history would repeat itself, Beatriz would end up having the same placement as her predecessor.
Becoming the Miss Eco Teen’s powerhouse country, it’s safe to say that our second win will come very soon. Congratulations to you, Beatriz! Thank you for representing our country well and delivering another strong performance.
A bright future in Philippine pageantry definitely awaits you and we’re excited to see what you conquer next!
