Kinoronahan bilang first runner-up ang pambato ng Pilipinas sa Miss Eco International pageant na si Kelley Day na ginanap sa Egypt ngayong Lunes nang umaga (PHL time), Abril 5.

Ayon sa ulat, pinahanga ni Kelley ang mga hurado sa naging sagot niya patungkol sa gender equality. Aniya, matatag ang gender equality sa bansa at sa industriyang ginagalawan niya. Gagamitin umano niya ang Miss Eco International upang isulong iyon sa iba pang panig ng mundo.

Sa ginanap na pageant ay siya rin ang itinanghal bilang Best in National Costume.

Napanalunan niya ang titulong Miss Eco Philippines 2019 sa ginanap na Miss World Philippines noong 2019. Matatandaang na-postpone ang kompetisyon dahil sa pandemya.

Si Kelley ay may height na 5’7’’ at isang Filipino-British.

"Congratulations for our winners of Miss Eco International. Our new queen is Gizzelle Mandy Uys and first runner-up Kelley Day from Philippines. Second runner-up is Alexandria Kelly from USA. Congratulations all!” pagbati pa ng Miss Eco International organization sa kanilang Facebook post.

Wagi bilang Miss Grand International 1st runner-up ang pambato ng Pilipinas na si Samantha Bernardo sa ginanap na grand coronation night sa Bangkok, Thailand kahapon, Sabado.

Si Miss USA Abena Appiah ang kinoronahan bilang Miss Grand International 2020, second runner-up naman si Miss Guatemala, 3rd runner-up si Miss Grand Indonesia, at si Miss Grand Brazil ang fourth runner-up.

Hindi man nasungkit ang pinakamataas na korona, marami pa ring manonood ang humanga sa naging sagot ni Samantha sa Q&A portion kung saan tinanong siya kung kanino niya ibibigay ang huling COVID-19 vaccine, kung sa 15-anyos o sa 70-year-old.

Sagot ni Samantha, “My heart goes to the senior citizen because my mom is turning into senior citizen and I experienced the loss of my dad four years ago and I cannot afford to lose my mom. My heart goes to them because they are the most vulnerable during this time.

“A 15-year old has the stamina to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and with proper exercise and healthy living they can live with it. I know as well that every citizen here will choose and never afford to lose their parents and so I will choose senior citizen.
