Miss Philippines Earth 2001 (also called simply as Miss Philippines 2001) was the 1st edition of the Miss Philippines Earth pageant. It was held on April 28, 2001 at the University of the Philippines Theater in Quezon City, Philippines. The event, produced by Carousel Productions, was telecast on RPN Channel 9 at 9 'o clock in the evening and broadcast internationally by the Star World cable and satellite television. Carlene Aguilar was crowned as the first ever winner of Miss Philippines Earth pageant.[1][2]

Coronation night[]

The coronation night presentation show opened with the Miss Earth theme song entitled "Woman of the Earth" written by Dero Pedero.[3] The pageant was hosted by Joey Mead, Calvin Millado, and DJ Charlie Ysmael.[4]

The 24 candidates were narrowed down to 10 semi-finalists and were later trimmed to five finalists. Carlene Aguilar, who represented the National Capital Region (NCR), won Miss Philippines 2001 with the theme focused on the environment. She was a 19-year-old advertising and public relations student at the Assumption College when she was crowned. Aguilar got the nod of the board of judges led by Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Benjamin Abalos when she called for the preservation of the environment and prevent pollution by saying, "We have polluted the environment with our wastes. Let's join hands in the preservation of our environment."[3][5]

Miss Philippines was formally launched in a press conference on April 3, 2001, along with the search of Miss Earth, to represent Philippines in the international competition.[6][7] Likewise, the pageant tied up with the Philippine government agencies such as the Philippine Department of Tourism (DoT), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority(MMDA), and at least two international environmental groups such as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the American Global Release to further its environmental advocacy.[8][9]
