Ganiel Krishnan

NAG-SORRY na ang swimwear designer sa nag-resign na Miss World Philippines 2021 second runner-up na si Ganiel Krishnan matapos ang kontrobersyal post niya laban sa beauty queen.

Nag-viral ang Instagram post ng isang nagngangalang Domz Ramos sa social media na pinaniniwalaang pang-ookray kay Ganiel matapos mabigong makuha ang titulo at korona sa katatapos lang na Miss World Philippines 2021.

Ayon sa post ni Domz sa Instagram Stories, “MS. WORLD OR NOTHING DAW EH OH AYAN 2ND RUNNER UP JIVAHHHH.”

Ni-repost ni Ganiel sa kanyang IG page ang viral IG Story ni Domz kalakip ang mahabang mensahe ng isa niyang supporter na bumabatikos sa nasabing swimwear designer. Sa kanyang caption, tinawag niya itong “insenstive” at “bully.”

Kasunod nga nito, naglabas ng statement si Domz tungkol sa issue at humingi ng tawad sa Star Patroller ng “TV Patrol” at sa lahat ng na-offend sa nasabi niya. Sa pamamagitan ng isa pa niyang IG page (@drswimph), in-explain niya ang kanyang side.

“It has come to my attention that a post I uploaded after the Miss World Philippines pageant on October 4 is being passed around online and generating hate on my person.

“First, I apologize to everyone who has been hurt by my remarks, especially Ms. Ganiel Krishnan @ganielkrish, her pageant camp and fans, and indirectly, the Binibining Pilipinas organization.

“While I did not deny posting the statement, I would like to clarify that it was taken out of context.

“The statement in the screenshot read, ‘Ms. World or nothing daw eh. Oh, ‘yan, 2nd Runner Up. Jivahhh.’

“What critics failed to share, however, was the post that followed, which read, ‘But I think she deserves a crown. Oh jivah,’” aniya pa.

Dagdag pa niyang paglilinaw, “By itself, the initial comment could be construed as insensitive and my way of bashing Ms. Krishnan.

“Even as I agree that it might have appeared as such, I deny that it was meant to insult or abuse her. On the contrary, it was made out of my disappointment that she did not win a major title

“My preference for Binibining Pilipinas over other national pageants is no secret anymore as I have been providing the swimsuits for BBP for years now (again, I apologize to the organization for having been dragged into this).

“Having been a fan of Ms. Ganiel ever since she won Mutya ng Pilipinas Asia Pacific International in 2016, I have long hoped that she would join BBP.

“I believe she would have easily won a crown, particularly Miss International. The statement I made in the now-viral screenshot came from this. It was not meant to put her down. It was simply my hopeful way of saying, ‘Sana mag-BBP ka,’” lahad pa ng designer.

Pagpapatuloy pa niya, “Again, I apologize for my carelessness and beg for the forgiveness of those who have been hurt and offended, and pray that people would take my sentiment as a whole and not condemn me over this matter for one screenshot.

“This has been a humbling learning experience for me,” sabi pa ni Domz.

Kagabi, nag-resign nga si Ganiel bilang Miss World PH 2021 2nd Princess, “I regret to inform you of my decision to relinquish my Miss World Philippines Second Princess 2021 title and consequently resign from the Miss World Organization effective immediately.

“As you very well know, I have a thriving career as a lifestyle and entertainment news reporter in ABS-CBN before I entered the competition and have never kept my intentions to go back to it a secret, regardless of the outcome of the pageant.  

“While I am deeply honored to have been named a Princess in this year’s MWP search, my contractual obligations with the network will not allow me to serve two masters. 

“Realizing this led me into making a decision to pursue the dream which will have the greater impact to actually serving my fellow Filipinos and that is through broadcasting,” bahagi ng pahayag ni Ganiel.
