Miss Earth 2006 was the sixth edition of the Miss Earth pageant, held at the grounds of the National Museum of the Philippines in Manila, Philippines, on 26 November 2006.

At the end of the event, Alexandra Braun of Venezuela crowned Hil Hernández of Chile as Miss Earth 2006. It is the first victory of Chile at the pageant.[1][2]

Contestants from 82 countries and territories competed in this year's pageant, an increase from the 80 contestants in 2005. The pageant was hosted by Ariel Ureta, Miss Earth 2004 Priscilla Meirelles, and Miss Philippines-Air 2006 Ginger Conejero. Filipino singer and actor Christian Bautista performed at the pageant.

Location and date

On the pageant night, It was announced that the 2006 pageant would take place in Santiago, Chile on 15 November 2006, and would be the first Miss Earth pageant outside of the Philippines and as well in Asia. However, the Chilean organizers did not meet requirements as they could not confirm a venue for the pageant, hotel accommodations, as well as a television station to broadcast the event.[3] In September, Carousel Productions decided to hold the pageant in the Philippines, where all previous Miss Earth pageants had been held, despite having less than two months to prepare for the event.[3][4]

On 24 November, a number of delegates participated in the Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal, acting as suitcase models during the game. This followed an episode of the American game show, where 26 Miss USA 2006 contestants acted as suitcase models.[5]
