Athena Mae Imperial will go down the history of Miss Philippines Earth as its most critically-panned titleholder and also the one who claimed victory in the only edition of the contest with the toughest cuts in any previous or succeeding years. As if that’s not enough, her eventual placement in the Top 4 of Miss Earth 2011 as Miss Water added fuel to the already blazing fire of endless potshots. Here is a girl who had the right smarts for the title, but was not able to meet the physical expectations (or standards, if you will) of pageant fans and followers in terms of being fully- deserving for the achievements that she earned for herself.

But Athena managed to survive a tempestuous year. Let us now look back at some of the videos that will remind us again of her reign, with the last one showing her latest career as a Field Reporter of GMA News TV.

  1. Alam nyo, kung titignan nyo si Athena ng malapitan, maganda sya…kelangan lang na matangos ang ilong nya…kung nabiyayaan lang sana sya ng tangakad at matangos na ilong..mas lalong gaganda sya…may utak din naman…at kung sakaling nakalusot man sya as Miss Earth – Water 2011, deserve nya yun.

  3. Basta nakikita ko sya naaalala ko sya sa Ms Earth pageant na nahulog sa hagdan sa opening. Natawa ako pero naawa din ako at thesame time. Pero ang impressive doon e the show must go on padin sya at that time.

    Nakita ko din sya sa Hot Air ballon sa Zambalez before and uhmmmm… regular girl, morena, maliit at makapal ang make up. 🙂 What you see on her pics is what you get pamorenahin mo lang.

  6. I actually don’t care at all for this pageant… I think it will gradually die which is sad because it has ascended quickly into the so-called Big 4 aside from the fact that it is Filipino owned. Last year’s production was so cheap-looking that made me feel I was watching Eat Bulaga’s beauty search – the lighting, the stage, the hosts OMG… a production that is not worthy of a “big 4” pageant and not something to be proud of. The winner doesn’t even have an official residence. Just my cent 🙂

  7. maganda naman siya, may utak, kinulang lang siya sa height, pero deserving naman talaga siyang manalo…
