Nakakatawa ang bigat niya. HIndi birong mag-pasarela with a 10-kg gown,&quot; she said. <div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1780292970507MGI-2.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960" alt="Schweighart/Facebook"/>Schweighart/Facebook </div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17802933009861780293300519.jpeg" style="width:633px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Schweighart with three of her fellow delegates from the Philippines in MGI All Stars: Gazini Ganados, Fuschia Ravena, and Keylyn Trajano.
