Earlier, Kiara Giel Gregorio was expected to automatically replace Imelda Schweighart until the next edition of Miss Earth Philippines in 2017 takes over.

Loran Artajos is a nursing graduate from Laoag City. She passed the Nursing Licensure Examination on June 2011. Since she may have been practicing her profession after winning as the third placer during the conclusion of Miss Earth 2016, she may file a leave of absence for her company to pursue her new responsibility for Carousel Productions. She will be continuing the legacy that Imelda left behind until she will crown her successor next year. This is an unexpected scenario since the presumed lady who will replace Imelda is not available at this time due to a commitment to her academic career abroad.
Kiara Giel Gregorio was thought to replace Imelda Schweighart, which is usually a traditional ascension method when the highest position is vacated. Kiara failed to replace Imelda as she is currently busy with her studies as she is now concentrating on her upcoming exams on hopes to become a lawyer someday. This means that the other next in line will take over and will continue whatever Imelda left behind as a former beauty queen of the Philippines, which was the former Miss Philippines Earth 2016. Loren is also obliged to report to the headquarters of Carousel productions to know her official schedule of activities.
