Following her controversial statements against Miss Earth 2016 winner Katherine Espin of Ecuador, Imelda Schweighart relinquished her crown as Miss Philippines Earth on Monday, October 31.
Miss Philippines Earth first runner-up Kiara Giel Gregorio will fulfill all of Schweighart's remaining obligations. Gregorio is a pre-law student who participated in the tilt as a representative of the Filipino community in London.
