Cebuana beauty queen Gabriella Carballo has departed for Egypt to represent the Philippines in Miss Eco International 2026.

Carballo shared photos taken at the airport on social media, expressing excitement as she prepares to carry the Philippine flag on the international pageant stage.

In a video posted on Instagram, the Filipina beauty queen asked for support and said she hopes to make the country proud during the competition.
