When interviewed, Ms Yu remarked " This is totally unexpected. Right after college graduation, I flew to the US, took and passed the NCLEX. I was about to start work but had to come summer of last year to take care personally of my mom who was battling the Big C. After my mom lost her battle with cancer, I was all set to go back to the US when I heard of the pageant. As a campus writer during my high school & college years, environmental issues have been one of my passions" I dedicate my triumph to my mom Grace who I'm sure is proud of my accomplishment" This is also for my dad and my sister and brothers, relatives & friends"

Judging the Bohol search were reigning 2014 Miss Philippines Earth- Water Kimberley Covert, Carousel Productions’s International Franchise & Branding Manager Director Astrud Margaret Schuck, renowned Boholano pageant & event director Michael Ryan Tago, Miss Tagbilaran 1987 & cultural impresario Fiel Angeli Araoarao Gabin & Your Blogger
As with the ongoing provincial & regional screenings & searches, the Miss Philippines Earth- Bohol search included a swimsuit & evening gown competition, talent competition, a three- minute ecotourism video where the girls promote the tourism potentials & environmental situation of their respective towns/ cities. With the Miss Philippines Earth Pageant’s focus on having its candidates and winners actively promote and get involved in the preservation of the environment and the protection of Mother Earth, more weight is given to personality and also to ecological and environmental intelligence in the interview portion.
Since 2008, Miss Philippines-Earth has broadened its coverage to include candidates from various provinces, cities, and municipalities. The decision to transform Miss Philippines Earth in a larger-scale was made to further the cause of Miss Philippines Earth and with more participants involved, Carousel Productions would be able to reach more people and communities involved in its environmental advocacy. The reigning titleholders dedicate their year to promote environmental projects and to address issues concerning the environment. They also serve as spokesperson for the Miss Earth Foundation, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and other environmental organizations. The grand winner will represent Philippines in Miss Earth pageant.
The Miss Philippines Earth & the Miss Earth pageants are both owned by Philippine- based Carousel Productions with Alturas Group of Companies as Miss Philippines Earth Bohol franchise holder
