The Bullying of Glennifer Perido during MTI2014/15

Now it can be told. In consonance with the news item Robert R. Requintina published in Tempo, Miss Tourism International 2014/15 2nd Runner-up and Miss Tourism Metropolitan International 2014/15 Glennifer Perido experienced pageant bullying from some of the candidates during the competition. It was said that there were ladies (no longer identified) who reminded her that chances of winning/placing are practically nil because the Philippines has already won the title twice in a row. The same individuals also kept their watchful eye on our bet and would always snoop around on how she would dress up for certain events (perhaps to avoid being out-spotlighted).

Glen didn’t let these things affect her performance. She sought comfort in the arms of her roommate and good friend Becci Lau of Hong Kong who was always by her side when it mattered most.

Anyways, her eventual placement in the Top 5 was already a vindication. She may not have inherited the crown from Angeli Dione Gomez, but was able to prove her detractors wrong.

All water under the bridge now. Glen got the last giggle. ;-)
