Gratitude and Legacy
In her remarks, Barcoma expressed gratitude to all who supported her throughout her reign.

Despite challenges, she remained respectful, honest, and dedicated to her duties.
Continued Commitment to Advocacy
Barcoma thanked the Miss Philippines Earth Organization for their trust and urged the public to continue supporting the new queen and the pageant’s advocacy for environmental protection.
