The Miss Philippines Earth 2026 coronation is scheduled for June 27th in Bukidnon, but reigning queen Joy Barcoma will not participate in the customary farewell walk. Reports indicate Barcoma was seemingly uninvited to the event, a departure from tradition. The organization has not publicly addressed the reason for excluding the current queen from the send-off. This decision has sparked controversy and discussion within the Philippine pageant community. The upcoming event will see a new queen crowned to represent the Philippines in international environmental pageants. Updates on the situation and the coronation ceremony are ongoing. The absence of a farewell walk is considered a significant break from established protocol.
