Roxanne Cabanero napilitang umatras sa Miss World Philippines

Napilitang umtras ang aspiring beauty queen na si Roxanne Cabanero sa 2014 Miss World Philippines. Dahil dito, nawala na ang kanyang chance na sundan ang yapak ni Miss World 2013 Megan Young.

Balitang sobrang naapektuhan si Roxanne sa pambabatikos sa kanya ng netizens, marami kasi ang nagsabi na atupagin niya muna ang kaso niya kay Vhong Navarro (rape case) bago sumali sa mga beauty contest, baka raw malagay pa sa kahihiyan ang Miss World Philippines.

Sa ulat ng GMA, sinabi ni Roxanne na, “Kailangan e, para maging fair sa ibang candidates and ma-focus ko rin yung sarili ko du’n sa kaso ko.”

Kinuwestiyon pa nga ang rules and regulations ng Miss World kung bakit daw pinayagan nilang makasali si Roxanne gayong may kinasasangkutan itong kontrobersiyal na kaso.

Kasabay nito, nagpadala rin ng sulat si Roxanne sa organizers ng Miss World Philippines headed by Cory Quirino.
“I would like to thank you for your genuine support and for really fighting and giving me a chance to be a part of Miss World Philippines 2014.

But unfortunately, I have to withdraw from the contest. I am sorry from the bottom of my heart if I have ever caused stir over the controversy I am linked with that smeared and tainted the name and reputation of Miss World Philippines.

“I am heartbroken over my decision to withdraw, but this is the best way to stop the chaos and protect the name of Miss World Philippines…The whole two-day experience being a part of (the pageant) was a blessing and forever will live in my heart.”
