Miss Philippines Earth 2019, Janelle Lazo Tee, together with her elemental court winners paid a courtesy call on the President of the Philippines Rodrigo Roa Duterte on Monday, August 5 at Malacañang Palace in Manila.

Accompanied by former Miss World Philippines and now Miss Earth organization executive, Peachy Veneracion, the queens had a chance to meet and greet the head of state at the reception hall of his official residence.

Janelle was crowned last July 10 as her country’s representative and host delegate in the upcoming Miss Earth 2019 pageant in October. The 28-year-old television and events host will try to bring the international crown back home for the 5th time.
