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.{{Cite news |last=Adina |first=Armin |date=29 October 2006 |title=Miss Earth pulls out of Chile |pages=I1 |newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=06VjAAAAIBAJ&sjid=biUMAAAAIBAJ&pg=510%2C12273564 |access-date=3 August 2023 |via=Google News Archive}} 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.{{Cite news |last=Adina |first=Armin |date=12 November 2006 |title=Record number of entries this year for Miss Earth tilt |pages=H1–H2 |newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=s1c1AAAAIBAJ&sjid=iiUMAAAAIBAJ&pg=770%2C18413876 |access-date=3 August 2023 |via=Google News Archive}}
