PH bet Meridith Bobadilla is Miss Teen Earth 2nd runner-up
Leah Reyes of Cuba won the crown, while Sofia Herrero of Spain placed as 3rd runner-up, and Johana as 4th runner-up.
Aside from the 2nd runner-up title, Meridith also took home the Best in Ramp Walk award.
During the pageant's question and answer round, the Filipina beauty queen was asked, 'Why should you be the next Miss Teen Earth?'
Meridith: 'I believe that I should win because I am dedicated. I was one of the longest-running candidates here. I was running for two years, and I've waited so much to be on this very stage tonight. If I tell you how many failures I have faced, you wouldn't believe why I am here today. My parents, they are street food vendors in the Philippines, and I lack so many resources, but I never let that stop me from reaching my dreams and my goals.'
'My advocacy since I was 14 years old is environmental awareness, and I have been actively advocating to the youth in regards of environmental issues cause my mission is to show them that we can help our Earth and we can regain back our healthy ecosystem. And if someone as dedicated as I wins, I believe that she deserves it so much. No matter how rocky the road is she was facing, she is still here, standing firm for her core values and strength and I believe that is me.'
Meridith was crowned Miss Teen Earth Philippines in 2022.

Will Ashley is a lovelorn barista in Hey June's 'Lasik' MV
The music video for Hey June's "Lasik" is now here, and Will Ashley just captured our hearts as a barista with vision problems! The opening sequence shows the Nation's Son waking up from a nap at the counter and frantically looking for his eye glasses, which is nowhere to be found. He tries to survive the work day without his specs, but he's having a hard time because of his blurred vision. His day becomes brighter when a female customer arrives. She seems to be a regular and Will has an obvious crush on her. He smiles and stares at her as he serves her coffee. In the middle of the music video, Will slips on the floor while chasing a cat that entered the coffee shop. Before he hits the ground, he gets sucked into a different world with three surgeons: Hey June members Jim Mase, Coey Ballesteros, and Aci Fodra. They give him a checkup and then proceed to concoct a substance that they drop on his eyes. When Will wakes up, he is back in the real world. In front of him is his crush, who receives flowers and holds hands with another guy. Will wears the eye glasses that has been lying around beside him on a bench outside the coffee shop, but his eyesight is still blurred. The video ends with an image of Hey June, with Coey carrying the cat in her arms. Will is the second Big Placer of the "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" along with his duo, Ralph De Leon. He is set to appear in GMA Prime series "Sanggang-Dikit FR" and the film "Bar Boys: After School." —MGP, GMA Integrated News
