The Mahakarya Duta Pesona Indonesia (MDPI), the official national license holder for Miss Earth Indonesia, has officially announced a change in its representation at the upcoming Miss Earth 2025 pageant to be held in the Philippines. In a statement released to the public, MDPI confirmed that Jaz Rowe, who was initially designated to represent Indonesia on the global stage, will no longer continue in that role.
The decision, according to MDPI, follows a careful review and has been made in full alignment with the regulations set by the Miss Earth Organization. It was emphasized that the withdrawal is due to "unavoidable circumstances" beyond the control of both the national organization and the delegate herself. While the specifics behind the decision have not been disclosed, the organization acknowledged that the Miss Earth Organization has taken further steps, including the appointment of a new representative for Indonesia.
Jaz Rowe’s journey, though now concluded in this capacity, has been met with gratitude from the MDPI team. The organization praised her for her dedication, professionalism, and meaningful contributions during the preparatory stages of the competition. They also recognized her resilience in the face of circumstances that prevented her from moving forward. Her efforts, MDPI noted, left a positive mark on the organization and she has been extended their heartfelt best wishes for her future endeavors.
In response to this unexpected change, MDPI has committed to promptly identifying and appointing another candidate who will carry the nation’s banner at Miss Earth 2025. Details regarding the new representative will be shared with the public in due course. The organization reaffirmed its commitment to the core principles of the Miss Earth platform, which emphasizes environmental awareness, sustainability, and global advocacy.
Despite this setback, MDPI reiterated its dedication to ensuring that Indonesia maintains a proud and impactful presence at international pageants. The search for the next representative will aim to find someone equally capable of embodying the values and environmental advocacies promoted by the Miss Earth organization, ensuring that the country remains a strong and visible participant on the global stage.
