Catriona Gray at Nicole Cordoves
NAGKAROON nga ba ng aberya o “Steve Harvey” moment sa naganap na grand coronation night ng Binibining Pilipinas 2022 kamakalawa ng gabi?
Nag-ugat ito sa nangyaring delay sa pag-announce ng mga hosts ng national pageant sa nanalong Bb. Pilipinas International kaya maraming manonood ang nagtaka at nagtanong kung ano ang nangyayari.
Kung matatandaan, nagkamali si Steve Harvey sa Miss Universe 2015 coronation night nang tawagin niya si Miss Colombia bilang winner, pero binawi niya ito at sinabing Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach ang totoong nanalo.
Ang nangyari, biglang nag-dead air ang announcement ng huling winner pagkatapos ihayag ang nanalong Bb. Pilipinas-Intercontinental, Bb. Pilipinas-Globe, at Bb. Pilipinas-Grand International kaya ang ending, kung anu-anong espekulasyon ang naglabasan.
May mga lumabas pang mga litrato at video kung saan makikita sa mukha ng mga pageant host na sina Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray at Miss Grand International 2016 Nicole Cordoves, na parang may nangyayari ngang aberya.
At dahil usap-usapan na ang nangyari sa finals night ng Binibining Pilipinas 2022, at nadadamay na sa kontrobersiya ang mga host, naglabas na ng pahayag ang kanilang talent management na Cornerstone Entertainment hinggil dito.
Narito ang official statement ng management ng dalawang beauty queen, “Cornerstone Entertainment Inc. stands by the announcement of its artists, Catriona and Nicole, who were the hosts of last night’s Binibining Pilipinas 2022.
“The winners announced by the hosts were accordingly based on the titles printed on the cards, which were handed over by SGV & Co. partner and representative, Mr. Ocho.
“Mr. Ocho even rechecked the cards and confirmed that the results announced by the hosts were accurate.
“We hope that this will put to rest any controversy concerning last night’s results,” sabi pa ng Cornerstone.
Samantala, nilinaw din ni Catriona ang kontrobersiya sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Facebook page kagabi, August 1.
Aniya, “About last night…
“As the hosts of last night’s Binibining Pilipinas 2022, @binibiningnicolecordoves and I announced the winners accordingly based on the titles printed on the individual title cards as these were handed over by SGV & Co. partner and representative, Mr. Ocho.
“As a member of the overseeing committee during the deliberations (as pictured on slide 4 by BPCI Execom member @laraquigaman), Mr. Ocho later rechecked the cards and confirmed that the results previously announced were correct, which became the decisive factor in moving forward with the announcement.
“As former candidates ourselves, we understand what the girls go through and would, therefore—without a second thought—correct any errors, if any were made.
“But as already explained, SGV & Co. partner and representative Mr. Ocho himself confirmed the validity of the results,” paglilinaw ng dalaga.
Dagdag pa niyang mensahe, “Let’s celebrate our Queens who are wearing their rightful crowns [crown emojis] Congratulations to our new @bbpilipinasofficial Queens!
“I’m so excited to witness your journeys and I know you will make our country proud!!” aniya pa.
