The pageant was held first in the Philippines since 2001 up to 2009. It was finally held outside the Philippines in 2010 (Nha Trang Vietnam).

Since the main theme of the pageant was Environmental Awareness, they are looking for young beautiful women who will stand for the protection, caring and preservation of our environment.

Each year, there are 4 finalists selected and all of them have titles and crowns named after the natural elements: Miss Fire (3rd run-up); Miss Water (2nd run-up); Miss Air (1st run-up); and the Miss Earth, who is the ultimate winner.
