Congratulations to the Miss Philippines Earth 2017 Darling(s) of the Press that were voted by members of the media, including Wazzup Pilipinas, on July 5, 2017 at the poolside of Diamond Hotel Manila, during the press presentation.

Amidst the scorching heat because of the event scheduled to start at around 10:00 am, the press presentation featured the 40 stunning candidates who all further heat up the poolside of the hotel wearing their green two-piece swimsuits. The press presentation ended at around 1:00 pm after the announcement of winners for Darling(s) of the press. Further interviews were also done after the event. 

Acting as hosts for the day were the reigning queens of Miss Philippines Earth for 2016 led by Miss Philippines Earth 2016 Loren Mar Artajos (former Miss Philippines Water from Laoag City), who was crowned with the highest title after the resignation of Imelda Schweighart due to some controversial issues.
