In its formative years, the pageant was simply known as Miss Philippines (2001–2003) and then it was changed to Miss Philippines Earth (2004–2017, 2019–present) since the winner represents the Philippines to the Miss Earth pageant. In 2018, the title was renamed to Miss Earth Philippines to emphasize the global "Miss Earth" brand. However, in 2019, the pageant reverted its name to "Miss Philippines Earth" to assert to its legal rights claim since Carousel Productions legally owns the trademark "Miss Philippines" title according to its executive vice president, Lorraine Schuck. The pageant contestants are called Beauties for a Cause. The competition includes swimsuit competition, evening gown parade, talent competition, but more weight is given to personality and also to ecological and environmental intelligence in the interview portion.

Awards and titles

Just like in Miss Earth pageant, the winner of the beauty contest is bestowed the title Miss Philippines Earth. From 2004, her runners-up are also given titles named after the other natural elements: Miss Eco Tourism (fourth runner-up), Miss Fire (equivalent to third runner-up), Miss Water (second runner-up), and Miss Air (first runner-up). From 2001 to 2003, the runners-up do not have titles, they only are called fourth runner-up, third runner-up, second runner-up and first runner-up. Miss Earth is the only one of the "Big Four" pageants which have individual titles for the runners-up. In 2009, Carousel Productions, changed the ranking of the runners up and winners. The judges now select 10 finalists to compete for the top five. The top five then vie for the grand crown (now-called Miss Philippines Earth). The four elemental court of the Miss Philippines Earth winner namely: Miss Philippines Air, Miss Philippines Water, Miss Philippines Fire, and Miss Philippines Eco-Tourism are all equal winners and the remaining five finalists that failed to advance in the top five are the Runners-up of the pageant.
