Miss Eco-International 2025 Alexie Mae Caimoso Brooks has come home to her province in Iloilo.

She is welcomed warmly by employees of the Iloilo City Government during her attendance to the flag-raising ceremony morning on May 5, 2025.

Alexie thanked the staunch support accorded her in her journey - from being a newbie in beauty pageants to titleholder.

Her journey into an international beauty pageant as representative of the country to the Miss Eco-International competition in Egypt fulfilled her dreams to gift the entire Philippines a crown, not just Iloilo.

She said that her tiara is proof that one’s dreams are always within one’s reach.

She offered her crown to the best person in the whole-wide-world who believed in her talent and skills tremendously – her Lola Basing – who already passed away, and to the Ilonggo community who cheered her on loudly and steadfastly.

Her homecoming motorcade took place around major streets in Iloilo City.

“I was dedicating to win every competition of my life, I would dedicate it to Lola Basing, and the competition was April 19 and it’s her birthday [last] April 15,” Alexie said.
