Early life and career

She was part of variety show Willing Willie as one of the co-hosts of Willie Revillame at 15 years old from 2010 to 2011 and was also part of the lead cast of youth-oriented drama series Bagets: Just Got Lucky, both aired on TV5. [6] She was also a swimmer during her school years. [7]

Pageantry

Binibining Pilipinas 2013

Schweighart first competed in Binibining Pilipinas 2013 and placed as one of the Top 15 finalists in the competition. In addition to her placement, she won the Binibining Pilipinas–PAGCOR special award. [8]

Miss Philippines Earth 2016

In 2016, Schweighart competed in Miss Philippines Earth, representing Puerto Princesa. She would go on to win the competition, being crowned by her predecessor, Miss Earth 2015 Angelina Ong. [9] She would go on to resign, thereby cutting her reign short. Loren Artajos, who was crowned Miss Earth Philippines Water, assumed the title of Miss Philippines Earth upon her resignation. [10] [11]

Miss Earth 2016

Winning Miss Philippines Earth 2016 made Schweighart the country's delegate to the Miss Earth 2016 pageant. She was awarded the "Darling of the Press" award at the delegates' media presentation at the Manila Diamond Hotel. [12] At the finals, Schweighart ultimately did not place in the pageant, becoming the country's third delegate to not place in Miss Earth, after Jeanne Harn in 2007, and Psyche Resus in 2010. [5] Katherine Espin of Ecuador was the winner of the pageant. [13] [14]

Miss Universe Germany 2023

On June 27, 2023, Schweighart was announced as one of the candidates competing at the Miss Universe Germany 2023 pageant. [15]

Controversy

Schweighart drew controversy following the Miss Earth 2016 competition after her accusing the winner of the competition, Espin, of having cosmetic surgery, remarking that she had a "fake nose, fake chin, fake boobs". [16] [17] The controversy ensuing from the video resulted in Schweighart's resignation as Miss Earth Philippines and her apology for her remarks, though she maintained that she was "telling the truth". [18] [19]

Later, in 2020, Schweighart was subject of another controversy, after she expressed her hatred of K-pop online, stating that Filipinos were "losing their identity trying to be like Koreans. Konting pride, please?". [20] Her remarks received strong criticism online, particularly on Twitter, where her own music likewise was criticized. [21] Following the controversy, Schweighart revealed online that she had been listing the names of people who had sent her malicious messages to her. She intends to file a case against them, citing Republic Act 10175, or the Cybercrime Law for Online Harassment, Invasion of Privacy, Cyberstalking and Defamation of Character. [22]
