Miss Pircelyn Pialago, Miss Earth Philippines finalist representing Dalaguete, Cebu, and a close friend of Leslie Ann Pine, a co-finalist who passed out during their swimsuit show, explicated she had freaked out when she saw her friend collapsed amidst the show, the reason why she wasn’t fully aware of what she said during that nippy dialog with the press on site.

Miss Pialago, in her quick interview during the event has uttered "she [referring to Miss Pine] passed away" instead of "passed out" when asked about Miss Pine's condition.

That video clip has immediately spread over the web, went viral, and eventually ended up among the trending topics in social media networks for that day.

In respond, Miss Pialago recently appealed to all netizens to stop making fun of what she had said especially she did not say it in purpose.

"Can't imagine that this mistake will make me trending in social media. Sorry a lot! Please don't be too harsh, people," she said.

Prior to this, Miss Earth Philippines finalist Leslie Ann Pine, a Fil-Am candidate representing San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija has collapsed in the middle of their swimsuit competition due to extreme dieting.

This is the first full comment uttered by Miss Pialago before the press during that incident:

"She passed away [sic] kasi she's really hungry... I kept on inviting her to eat breakfast but she didn't want to eat kasi we're under weight watch."
