A video posted in the Pageantology Facebook page showed Imelda signing autographs and talking to her supporters. She then threw shade on Miss Earth 2016, Miss Ecuador Katherine Espin, saying that some parts of her body are fake.

She was also supposed to wear a yellow Leo Almodal creation if she was not eliminated early in the competition. It was Miss Ecuador who eventually wore the said gown.

 

Philippines didn't get in the final 16 but here's the gown she was supposed to wear. Kudos to Sir Leo Almodal for the gown. #ImaWomanOfTheEarth #ImeldaSchweighart
