Ibasco is 26 years old and a professor from the University of Sto. Tomas. She will be representing the Philippines at the Miss Earth 2017 pageant in November.

A non-placer at Binibining Pilipinas 2016, Karen impressed the MPE judges with her response during the Final Q&A portion where the Top 5 finalists were given just one question ("What change do you want to see in national environmental policies?").

Her winning answer was: "In terms of environmental policies, everyone is experiencing climate change. The whole world is experiencing climate change and I’m just grateful that the Philippines signed the Paris Treaty. What I want to see is...to pass a carbon tax. In that way, we would invest in renewable energy to help our world be a better place, greener, inhabitable for the whole humanity." - Mykiru.ph
