The contestant, who represented the town of Batad in Iloilo, was confidently ramping on stage in a creative costume inspired by a dome or chimney design. As she moved across the stage, light smoke started to come out of the costume.
At first, many people thought the smoke was part of the design and added drama to her presentation.
After a few moments, the situation changed when flames suddenly appeared on the costume while the contestant was turning on stage. Despite the unexpected danger, she stayed calm and composed.
Her fellow contestants and event staff immediately rushed to her side and carefully removed the burning costume. The flaming part was quickly taken off the stage to prevent the fire from spreading.
After the costume was removed, she continued her walk and performance as if nothing had happened. Her calm and professional reaction earned admiration from many netizens who watched the video online.
