LOOK: Imelda Schweighart Resigns Not Because of Bashing

Imelda Schweighart, former Ms. Philippines Earth 2016 did not resign because of bashing but because she needs to accompany her mother abroad. She says it would not be fair for the Ms. Earth organization if she is not able to fulfill her duties as Ms. Philippines Earth 2016.

Part of her resignation letter says, “I regret to inform you that I will have to relinquish my Miss Philippines-Earth title effective immediately because my mother wants me to accompany her on an overseas trip and there is no definite date of our return.

“Accordingly, I will not be able to fulfill my obligations as Miss Philippines – Earth indefinitely and so it is just fair to Carousel Productions, Inc that I relinquish my crown so somebody can take over and continue to discharge said obligations.”

Here’s the full letter sent by Imelda and addressed to Carousel executive vice president Lorraine Schuck.
