It's been a day since Philippine representative Alexie Brooks was named the 2025 Miss Eco International and the Filipina beauty queen is still expressing her gratitude to the people who have been part of her journey.
In one of the more recent posts on her Instagram account, Alexie posted a photo of the Philippine flag alongside her winner's sash, crown, and trophy. In the caption to the post, she thanked everyone who supported her and wrote “Lahat kayo, buong-buo ang puso ko sa pasasalamat.”

In the comments to the post, fellow beauty queens Beatrice Luigi Gomez and current reigning Miss Universe Asia Chelsea Manalo had nothing but love, leaving heart emojis.
Even before winning the Miss Eco International crown, Alexie looked set to succeed in the pageant, placing in the top 10 of its resort wear competition. Alexie made that announcement in a couple of posts on her Instagram account, showing her in resort wear made by designer Maria Glenn. In the caption to one of the posts, Alexie said that she channeled her inner Victoria's Secret angel and that she was honored to place in the top 10.
A couple of days before that, Alexie was first runner-up in the Miss Eco International talent competition after singing Adele's “Set Fire to the Rain,” wearing a gown that was similar to the Grammy-winning singer's.
The country also showed its support for her through votes. During The Miss Philippines organization's first call for votes on April 14, Alexie was in first place with 29,499 votes on the provided voting website.
Alexie became the country's representative for the Miss Eco International pageant after she competed in the 2024 Miss Universe Philippines pageant where current reigning Miss Universe Asia Chelsea Manalo was named the winner. Other winners during the pageant were Miss Supranational Philippines Tarah Valencia, Miss Cosmo Philippines Ahtisa Manalo, and Miss Charm Philippines Cyrille Payumo.
