Joy Barcoma, the 2025 Miss Philippines Earth titleholder, marks her pageant send-off through ceremonial “farewell walks” on multiple stages. After being told she is no longer required to attend the national pageant’s finale show held in Bukidnon on June 27, she takes part in a symbolic farewell appearance at the LoveLaban Pride Festival 2026. Sources say the festival event is held at the University of the Philippines Diliman in Quezon City on Saturday evening, June 27. Barcoma appears onstage in a white gown and a rainbow-colored sash during the Pride festival festivities.
Later, on Monday, June 29, Barcoma takes another farewell walk live on national television. She is invited onto GMA’s morning show “Unang Hirit,” where she serves as a “host-mate,” and receives another ceremonial send-off as 2025 Miss Philippines Earth.
Across outlets, the accounts describe the farewell walks as symbolic, with Barcoma using public appearances—first at Pride Festival and then on TV—to mark her transition away from the title. The reports do not provide reasons for why she is not required to attend the coronation finale show.
