Joy Barcoma jokes about ‘redirection’ after Miss Earth 2025 bid

After falling short in winning the Miss Earth 2025 title, comic Joy Barcoma quipped she was “redirected” as she shared a meme supposedly predicting she will get pregnant this 2025.
Hours after the 2025 Miss Earth finals night, the Miss Philippines Earth 2025, who wrapped her journey as part of the Top 8 finalists, took to her Facebook page to share a meme from a fan account.
“Before 2025 ends, mabubuntis na si Joy,” the post read. (Before 2025 ends, Joy will get pregnant.)
Jokingly welcoming the prediction, the 25-year-old lass from Bacoor City added in the caption, “You are not denied, only redirected.”
The beauty queen’s post has so far garnered over 19,000 Facebook reactions, with some netizens also quipping how Barcoma would transition from Miss Earth to “Mother Earth.”
In an earlier post, Barcoma also expressed her gratitude and appreciation for the support she received throughout her Miss Earth journey.
“Maraming Salamat, Pilipinas! (Thank you so much, Philippines!)” she wrote, eliciting warm messages from netizens including fellow Filipino beauty queen Emma Tiglao who was crowned Miss Grand International 2025 last October.
“Mahal ka namin,” Tiglao said. (We love you.)

Barcoma was among the 82 candidates who vied for the Miss Earth 2025 crown, which was won by Natalie Puskinova of Czech Republic. /edv
