30 Aug - KC Concepcion's half-sister and daughter of actor Gabby Concepcion, Cloie Syquia-Skarne has won the title of Miss Earth Sweden 2016.



As reported on Astig, the 22 year-old pageant first-timer announced the news on Instagram recently with a photo of her crowning moment, saying, "I'm MISS EARTH SWEDEN 2016! Thank you to those who have supported me and believed in me. I would not have been who I am today without you."



Skarne will be representing Sweden in the upcoming Miss Earth pageant, which is set to be held on 29 October, and will be facing Philippine's own Imelda Schweighart among the many.



Last year, it was Philippine's own Angelia Ong who won the title.



Skarne, who is now living in Sweden with her half-Swedish mother Jenny Syquia and her stepfather Filip Skarne, recently visited the Philippines for her training with Jonas Gafud and his Aces and Queens team-the same team that trained two of Philippine's Miss Universe, Pia Wurtzbach and Megan Young.
