"Every summer we would visit my mother's family in the Philippines until we decided to finally move here for good," her Miss Philippines Earth entry read, adding that moving to the Philippines proved to be difficult.
"However, I was able to empower myself through modeling and working with all kinds of people while discovering who I am as a person," she said.
Her trappings of becoming Miss Philippines Earth manifested when she's a young girl. She told the organization that she's recycling "whatever" she could find in the house, as well as turning off the lights and unplugging things.
As Miss Philippines Earth, Ramp said her advocacy is to educate everyone about ecological sustainability, especially the youth and the marginalized sector. For her, keeping the world clean is vital to survival, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The pandemic made us realize that the earth really needed to breathe," she said, "and now that life is slowly becoming how it was before the pandemic era, we should not forget to also take care of our home, the Earth."
Ramp urged the public to support and encourage outdoor activities, practicing a "clean as you go" mindset that would also rub off on others, especially tourists. She also wants to do more tree planting for the next generation.
For her Miss Philippines Earth photoshoot, she's pushing for agriculture, noting that it's in the country's DNA. She pointed out that farming is the "profession of hope."
"This photoshoot is dedicated to all the farmers in the country who were not been given the much-deserved attention and support by the government," Ramp wrote in the caption. "As our country moves forward with a new leadership focused on Agriculture, may we reap a harvest of an abundant future while helping Mother Earth recover from years of neglect."
