The Resolution indicated that "Ong made history as she succeeded another Filipina beauty queen, a first in the pageant's 15-year history and the third Filipina to bag the prestigious crown with Jamie Herrell as her predecessor and Karla Henry winning the crown in 2008, making the Philippines the only country with a three-crown record."
The lower house of the Philippines Congress, House of Representatives of the Philippines also gave tribute to the victory of Ong in the Miss Earth 2015 pageant through the House Resolution 2561 authored by Congressman Leopoldo N.
