I felt terrible for all involved -- Steve for making the error, Miss Colombia for having to endure the mistake, and Miss Philippines for not being able to take her full walk during the televised portion of the show. The ending was probably edited for Philippino television to show Miss Philippines being crowned and taking the promenade, as they are several hours behind any mainland US time zones.

I can't verify it, but I read that the error was on the teleprompter . . . but wouldn't have the contestants have been able to see it too? Either way, mistakes sometimes happen, and you just have to keep moving forward.
