Alexie Brooks ends Miss Eco International 2025 reign with 'the most grateful heart'
Alexie Brooks is filled with gratitude as she ends her reign as Miss Eco International 2025.
On Instagram, the Filipina beauty queen shared photos of herself wearing the white gown she wore during her final walk at the Miss Eco International 2026 coronation night, accompanied by a heartfelt message reflecting on her life journey and time as titleholder.
“That is what I carry with me tonight — gratitude, compassion, and a heart full of love,” Alexie wrote.
The beauty queen opened up about the hardships she experienced growing up, revealing that she was raised by her grandparents after growing up without her parents.
Alexie also recalled being bullied for her appearance and for being different, admitting that there were moments when she felt “unseen, broken, and alone.”
“But deep inside me was a little girl who still chose to dream,” she added.
The Ilongga beauty queen also paid tribute to her late grandmother, whom she described as “the love of my life,” saying she carried with her the values of courage, kindness, resilience, and compassion throughout her reign.
“This journey reminded me that true beauty is not found in crowns or titles, but in the lives we touch, the love we give, and the strength to keep going despite the pain,” she said.
She went on to thank her supporters and the Miss Eco International organization for giving her a platform that changed her life.
Before ending her message, Alexie shared words of encouragement for those who may be struggling.
“To anyone who feels unseen right now: please do not give up. Your story does not end in pain. One day, your journey will become hope for someone else too,” she wrote.
“Leaving with gratitude, purpose, and hope. This is Alexie Mae Caimoso Brooks, Miss Eco International 2025… signing off.”
Alexie passed on her crown to Mexico’s Palmira Ruiz who was hailed Miss Eco International 2026 during the pageant’s coronation night in Egypt.
Meanwhile, Philippine bet Gabbi Carballo finished in Top 21.
