Bianca Paz speaks out on Bb. Pilipinas disqualification
Bianca Paz, the fourth candidate removed from the 2011 Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageant, clarified allegations following Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. decision to disqualify her from the beauty competition over a sexy calendar photo shoot taken two years ago.
"I would like to clear things up regarding the issue for the FIRST and LAST time. To make a long story short, I took part in a calendar shoot 2 years ago which never came to mind as a possible hindrance for my participation in the Binibining Pilipinas pageant as I made sure that the finished result would not be less than tasteful and even of editorial standard before being published. Unfortunately, BPCI did not have the same opinion of the said shoot and so as of today I have been officially DISQUALIFIED," Bianca said in a statement posted on her Facebook page.
"I would also like to make clear that there are NO, I repeat, NO nude photos or "sex videos" anywhere existing. I respect and accept BPCI's decision and refuse to make the issue any bigger than it already is. I only ask that everyone does the same and refrain themselves from making false judgements and ignorant accusations towards me and anyone else involved. At this point, it's all very unnecessary. Instead, I encourage everyone to show support to all remaining candidates and... well... Enjoy the show! This is, after all, 'entertainment.' I want to thank everyone that has supported me. God bless and I love you all! - B <3," Bianca added.
Meanwhile, earlier today, in his Twitter posts, Bianca's boyfriend, model and former actor Andrew Wolfe shared his sentiments over his girlfriend's removal from the pageant's candidate list. He claimed a candidate's mom had pushed for Bianca's disqualification.
":( Politics definately at play here. Hope their mom's are proud! -- RT @iambiancapaz: Goodbye Bb. Pilipinas! Goodluck to all the ladies competing :-)"
His message to the candidate's mom: "Your daughter will NEVER win... Tandaan mo 'yan...I hate people who can not accept the fact they are NOT the best and have to ruin other people's dreams for their own benefit."
Andrew further tweeted he won't name names.
"...Hindi po ako nagbunyag ng kahit isang pangalan. Kayo na po ang magpasiya kung sino ang aking pinatatamaan at itinutukoy..."
BPCI had released its official statement to ABS-CBN News concerning the organization's decision to disqualify Bianca.
"Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. has today removed another candidate from the 2011 roster due to circumstances affecting her which recently came to light. As with the previous statement, we urge everyone to cease further speculation regarding the matter as respect to the privacy and integrity of all those concerned."
Before Bianca, the pageant organizers had disqualified three candidates: Roxanne Cabanero, Grendel Alvarado, and Jenilyn "Jen" Olivar from the original top 40 finalists of the 2011 Binibining Pilipinas pageant.
