The Miss Earth Delegates

History

The first year Brazzaville Congo sent a representative to Miss Earth was in 2008. She goes on to compete at the pageant in the Philippines without a separate national competition and the Miss Earth franchise was obtained then by Beauties of Africa Inc., owned by Mr. Andy A. Abulime.[5]

In 2015, a delegate has attended the annual Miss Earth pageant in the Philippines. This in celebration of the return of Miss Earth Congo to Miss Earth, this time under the supervision of its Director Ms. Mukon Ngoyi and serving as the spokesperson is Mr. Robert Scott who handles media press for the organization

Josephine Bomele, a young woman with a very special dedication and perseverance to get through such a demanding achievement was crowned as the new Miss Earth Congo 2015 and she will now have the honor to represent DR Congo in the upcoming Miss Earth 2015 pageant.
