Truth be told, I’m not sure what words or phrase or statement to use in describing the removal of Binibini 5 Christine Balaguer from the roster of Bb. Pilipinas 2015 Official Candidates. And I don’t want to hazard a guess as to which one of the following possibilities:
1) Did she back out?
2) Was she disqualified for a valid reason?
3) Was she asked to resign instead for a valid reason?
4) Was she removed due to her being deaf? (with corresponding arrangements needed to be put into place to accomodate the translation/interpretation requirements? )
It could most likely be one of the above.
But I have no way of confirming anything because lips are still sealed.
So I might as well wait for an official press statement from BPCI regarding this matter.
In the meantime, the started petition to reinstate Christine as Binibini 5 could be in limbo for now. If it doesn’t prosper, then let’s enjoy the sweet lass via her filmed truth or dare video before all of this happened.
