One of the crowned winners of the Miss World Philippines 2019 has been stripped of her title.

Vanessa Mae Walters, who won the Miss Eco Teen Philippines 2019 title last month, is accused of "misrepresentation of her credentials," "unprofessional behavior," and "indecency."

This comes after she had posted on Instagram that she was only 16, and had shared a nude photo of hers. She was also said to have skipped out on attending official events, and had walked out on a meeting with executives of the organization.

According to a statement from the pageant's national director Arnold L. Vegafria, the organization wishes "to maintain high ethical and moral standards and uphold the integrity of the title holders."

It was also explained that Walters had been expected to "act as an ambassador of the Philippines in the Miss Eco Teen competition, represent the organization in a professional manner, and serve as role model for the youth."

The full statement and a list of her violations can be read below:

Walters has been replaced by Mary Daena Zaide Resureccion, who will compete in her place at the upcoming Miss Eco Teen competition in Cairo next month.
