Before Miss Earth
In 2004 she represented Chile in Miss Model of The World (Semifinalist) and South American Queen.[3] She also took part in Miss World Chile 2003 (Finalist) and Miss Earth Chile 2004 (First Runner-up).[4][5]
She competed in Miss Earth Chile for the second time and won the title Miss Earth Chile 2005. She succeeded Nataly Chilet Miss Earth Chile 2004, who was a top eight finalist at the Miss Earth 2005 pageant.[6][7]
These contests gave her the experience and path to be crowned Miss Earth 2006, the third most important international beauty pageant after Miss Universe and Miss World,[8][9][10]
Miss Earth 2006
On November 26, 2006, she beat 81 other delegates.[11][12] She had a moment of confusion during the announcement and did not immediately realized that she was the winner of the pageant. She was standing with Miss India who was named first and she was called second, but she did not remember how the order in which they were to name the winner. She recalled: "I congratulated her (Miss India) and told me that I was the winner and only then I realized what was happening, but I was clueless. I was very happy within the first four places, then the winner was just out surprise."[1]
Hil Hernández was supposed the host delegate of Chile since the event was originally intended to be held in Santiago, Chile on November 15, but the Chilean organizers did not meet requirements.[13] In winning Miss Earth, she delivered the second major international beauty title to Chile, 19 years after Cecilia Bolocco won Miss Universe.[1]
Media and Environmental activism
Hernández finally arrived on December 19, 2006 in Santiago, Chile from Madrid, Spain and Buenos Aires, Argentina after she won Miss Earth 2006 in the Philippines.[2] A press conference on her victory was immediately held at the press room of Santiago International Airport after nearly two months of her absence in Chile.[14]
Accompanied by politician Andrés Celis, she graced the opening gala of Festival de Viña del Mar, considered the most important musical event in America, held on February 19, 2007 at the Casino de Viña del Mar.[15][16]
In April 2007, she went to Singapore where she co-hosted the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) gala event, Champions of the Earth.[17] Hil proceeded to Manila to be part of the Earth Day activities within Metro Manila. Together with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), she and Miss Earth Water 2006 Catherine Untalan took part in The Clean Air Campaign, as well as, the promotion of the use of alternative fuel and recycling fairs in conjunction with other environmental groups.[18]
She also participated in several environmental activities hosted by the Philippine Tourism Authority beginning with the celebration of International Coastal Clean-up Day event in Manila with Miss Philippines Earth 2007, Jeanne Angeles Harn as well as Catherine Untalan to the School Tour projects of the Miss Earth Foundation so-called “I Love My Planet Earth” until the end of her reign in November 2007. The school tour was an educational project to teach grade school students to take care of their environment[18]
In October 2007, she went to the third International Travel Exposition in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. She led the ribbon cutting, along with the tourism ministers from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos which participated by eleven (11) countries. She also participated in the fund raising for the victims of the tragedy in Hậu River, conducted environmental forum with members of the press, addressed issues on pollution brought about by millions of motorcycles, the basic mode of transportation in Vietnam, discussed the protection of natural wonder sites like the Halong Bay, conducted a motorcade around the city to promote the use of helmet and encourage safe and friendly driving to prevent accidents amongst the motorists which go to about 30,000 casualties per year, and the introduction of alternative fuels and push for the improvement of mass transportation to help lessen the pollution. Aside from Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines and her home country, Chile, she also traveled in other countries, such as Puerto Rico, Bolivia, and China to promote environmental awareness and to grace the national pageants.[19][20][21]
A billboard poster which featured Hernandez, disappeared in March 2008, after it was ripped from the billboard in Whanganui, New Zealand. The thieves had damaged the bottom part of the board and removed the entire frame along with the poster. It was the first time a billboard poster had been taken in 30 years in Manawatu-Wanganui region.[22]
She traveled in February 2009 to Talca, Chile and served as one of the celebrity judges in the Miss Pelarco pageant which attended by about two thousand people.[23]
