Loren Mar Artajos, who was crowned Miss Earth Philippines-Water in this year’s pageant, will take over as Miss Earth Philippines 2016, following the resignation of Imelda Schweighart last Monday, October 31. Imelda resigned shortly after the eventful Miss Earth pageant came to an end, saying that she would be going abroad and could no longer fulfill her Miss Earth Philippines duties. Her resignation comes after the release of an embarrassing video of her criticizing Miss Earth 2016 Katherine Espin of Ecuador.
