Joy Barcoma, Miss Philippines Earth 2025, ends her reign tonight and addresses online reports about her not having a traditional farewell walk. In a Facebook valedictory posted on Saturday, June 27, Barcoma confirms she will not be present in Malitbog, Bukidnon for the finals of the 2026 national pageant, where the reigning queen typically performs a last walk. She writes: “Tonight, I may not have a farewell walk,” and frames the situation as part of her closing message, focusing on gratitude as she concludes her term.
One outlet reports that the discussion online centers on the Miss Philippines Earth organization’s decision regarding Barcoma’s farewell walk. Another account adds that the broader conversation includes allegations of an alleged fallout between Barcoma and Carousel Productions, the pageant organization. Both accounts state that Barcoma’s decision not to personally relinquish her crown or take part in the traditional last walk is linked to the dispute surrounding the farewell walk.
Barcoma does not provide additional details in the cited summaries beyond her confirmation regarding her absence from the finals and her closing remarks.
