I love the interview and the controversial gown. That is why Imang was furious coz she wore it instead of her. It was not Kaths' fault either, it was given to her and Leo Almodal has the right also coz if it was given to Imang, it wont be showcased coz Imang did not enter Top 16.

I feel kinda bad that she was made to feel bad about her weight gain (not by the interviewers) which was not even that bad at all. She didn't need to defend herself because she still looked pretty healthy her entire reign, the idea that beauty queens need to be stick skinny all the time is crazy.

Other than that, this is probably one of the best interviews so far.

That was a great interview! Once again, kudos to Stephen and Drew. Keep ‘em coming with the Earth Queens!

As I’ve stated on another thread, I never tire watching these interviews by former Earth Queens, because I always learn something new.

Queen Kate has once again proven how intelligent and insightful the Earth Queens are. She was very engaging and was a great storyteller. I was kept in suspense when she was describing her evening gown experience. And I love that she was very honest with her answers. And I agree that a virtual Miss Earth could prove challenging when it comes to figuring out who the women really are...something that Carousel does well during the four weeks of live pre-pageant activities. How do you really know who is real and who isn’t?

And cyber bullies ought to listen to her final message to pageant fans. Finally, I have a feeling that there are a lot of great things in store for her in the future.

From the get go, I cannot blame Imang over her furious of not wearing the yellow gown if it was promised to her and for sure she saw the design prior to the contest. However, Imang should not threw her tantrums to Kate because it was not Kate's mistake! If there is someone to be blamed, then it's the designer for not being professional enough. Yes, the designer has the final say, but come on, we're talking delicadeza here. Just because Miss Philippines did not enter the Top 16, you punished her by not wearing the agreed gown? It's not Imang's fault that the designer failed to finish the gown intended for Miss Ecuador. What if both candidates entered in the Top 16, what would the designer do? For sure he will give it to Miss Philippines and Miss Ecuador will utilize the red gown. My goodness!

Both ladies were victims of circumstances. But I think, the winning gown was destined to be worn by Katherine. Katherine has one of the best Miss Earth reigns.

Thank you very much... I was really really tired that time because of my basketball practice, which got extended!!! But thankfully we're able to pull it through. Katherine is so nice! Love her! She's a deserving winner!

Just finished watching the whole video. Katherine is a very driven and ambitious woman. I want to see her fulfill one of her dreams someday, i.e. working in UN. Hope she continues to make Miss Earth Ecuador bigger in her country. Good luck Katherine, we are watching, supporting and cheering for you.

I JUST APPRECIATED HER BEAUTY NOW,,, I JUST LOVE HER INTERVIEW AND I CAN SEE THAT SHE IS SUPER NICE GIRL
I THINK IF SHE JOINED MISS UNIVERSE, SHE WILL DO GOOD AS WELL

HOPE SHE CAN ELEVATE THE MISS EARTH BRAND IN ECUADOR. AND EVENTUALLY, HER COUNTRY CAN HOST MISS EARTH IN THE NEAR FUTURE

If I were to choose as to who had the busiest reign in the last 10 years, I’m gonna have to give it to Queen Kate. In addition to her international travels, she also traveled everywhere in the Philippines because of her Tourism Ambassador role.

It will take time but Katherine is working tirelessly. Let us keep on supporting her.

Agree. She elevated the Miss Earth Queen's reign. She is a go-getter.
