Filipina bet Joy Barcoma favored for Miss Earth-Air 2025 crown by Missosology

Filipina candidate Joy Barcoma is among the favorites to win an elemental crown at Miss Earth 2025, according to global pageant analyst Missosology.

Missosology's final hot picks named Barcoma as the potential Miss Earth-Air 2025, moving up from her previous Miss Earth-Water prediction.

The analyst predicts Cuba's Rachel Chang will be crowned Miss Earth 2025, with Italy's Natalie Guglielmo as Miss Earth-Water and Thailand's Waree Ngamkham as Miss Earth-Fire.

Barcoma, the Philippines' representative, has gained online attention for her engaging and humorous posts, including her witty Miss Earth introduction video with the hashtag #JoyToTheEarth.

She previously won Best in Terno for Asia & Oceania and also wowed in her national costume made of recycled materials.

She was crowned Miss Philippines Earth 2025 in August and is representing the country at the pageant held on November 5 at Okada Manila, marking Miss Earth's silver anniversary.

Barcoma shared snaps of herself in a recent photoshoot ahead of the pageant, describing herself as 'Mother Earth' and ready to 'speak her truth'.
