Here's why Miss Philippines Earth Joy Barcoma is trending

Miss Philippines Earth Joy Barcoma is making a name for herself online in the funniest way possible!

Joy has been trending lately, and it’s not for her pageant moments — rather, the beauty queen has been making netizens laugh with her hilarious online posts and captions.

On October 11, Joy interviewed herself for an advocacy video. She made netizens laugh at her post referencing the meme, “Are u a nurse din po? Opo I’m a nurse. I’m teaching before psychiatric nursing po.”

Amused fans said only the chronically online would understand the joke.

“The reference. HAHAHAHAHAHA DI KA NA NAMAN NAGSWITCH NG ACCOUNT, TWINNIE!!” one fan said in a comment.

In another post on October 18, which showed her return to the Philippines, Joy wrote, “Miss Earth na nag-post ha! Welcome to meeee!!!”

She added in more homecoming posts, “#BringHerHome HAHAHAHAHA,” and “THE CHAMPION IS RETURN.”

Then when she reposted a post asking for votes for Best Appearance for the Miss Earth competition, Joy said, “Ang hindi bumoto sakin, hindi magkakapera sa pasko.”

Netizens can’t get enough of Joy’s humor.

“Sobrang benta ng humor ni Miss Philippines Earth, Joy Barcoma! I LOVE HERRRR, PLEASE BRING HOME THE CROWN,” a fan said on X.

Another fan said, “Aside from the fact that she's my kababayan in Bacoor, may sense of humor din si ategirl."

More than her wit, fans are also loving Joy’s stance against corruption in the Philippines.

“And she's very vocal about the current issue in our country, that's why she is so loved,” a fan said on X.

“We love a beauty queen who lives up to their values and advocacies,” another user added.

Prior to this, Joy also amused netizens with her witty Miss Earth introduction video with the hashtag, #JoyToTheEarth.

Joy was crowned Miss Philippines Earth 2025 in August. She is set to wear the Philippine sash at Miss Earth 2025, which is scheduled to take place in November. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
