Nahabag ang Thai fans ni Miss Grand Eucador 2026 Shyare Andrade sa hindi magandang pagtatapos ng kanyang pageant journey sa Thailand.
Si Shyare ang hinirang na first-runner up sa Miss Grand International 2026 finals na ginanap noong October 10, 2026, sa MGI Hall, Bangkok, Thailand.
Ang kandidata mula Tanzania na si Jihan Dimachk ang itinanghal na Miss Grand International 2026.

THAI FANS raise funds for SHYARE ANDRADE
Dalawang international pageant sites ang nagbahagi ng sinapit ni Shyare.
Ayon sa mga ito, tila hindi inasikaso si Shyare ng kanyang organization pauwing Ecuador mula Thailand.
Economy ticket lang daw ang naibigay sa Ecuadorian beauty queen, na napagod nang husto sa sinalihang international beauty pageant.
Saad ng Pageant Talk: "SAD.
"A heartbreaking moment for our queen. Miss Grand Ecuador and Miss Grand International 2026 1st Runner-Up, Shyare Andrade, was seen looking exhausted and tired at the airport as she prepared to fly home from Thailand to Ecuador.
"After proudly bringing honor to Ecuador and securing the title of 1st Runner-Up at Miss Grand International 2026, Shyare Andrade allegedly was given only an economy-class ticket by her local organization and expected to manage all her luggage herself."
Ayon pa sa ulat, dahil sa dami ng bagahe ni Shyare, nag-organisa ang kanyang Thai fans, kabilang na ang local media, ng fund raising sa TikTok para ma-upgrade ang kanyang upuan mula economy sa business class.
Ngunit ang nalikom nilang pera, na umabot sa halos $1,500 (o PHP93,000), ay kasya lamang sa pagbabayad sa kanyang excess luggage.
Dahil dito, sa economy pa rin nakaupo si Shyare.
Pero masaya pa rin naman daw itong umalis ng Thailand.
"Her loving Thai fans and members of the Thai media came together for a live broadcast on TikTok to raise money, hoping to upgrade her seat so she could travel more comfortably.
"But in an unexpected turn of events, the money they raised had to go toward covering her excess baggage fees, which reportedly exceeded 50,000 baht (approximately $1,500).
"So far, the organization has not issued a statement," saad ng pageant site.

SHYARE "happy and grateful to all her loving fans"
Ayon naman sa Sash Factor International, masaya pa rin si Shyare na lumisan ng Thailand kahit nasa economy lang siya.
Saad sa kanilang post: "Miss Grand Ecuador and Miss Grand 2026 1st Runner-Up @shyareandradee was seen looking stressed and tired at the airport as she boarded her flight from Thailand to Ecuador.
"She was traveling alone and flying economy, with all the luggages. Her loving Thai fans and members of the Thai media chipped in to upgrade her seat, but the money had to be used to cover her excess-baggage fees instead, which amounted to more than 50,000 baht (about $1,500).
"She is happy and grateful to all her loving fans and people who supported her!
"You have earned our utmost love and respect, Shyare.
"You deserve so much more.
God bless you, and may many more opportunities come your way.
"Safe Travel our Queen"
