Wilbert Tolentino Ibinalita Ang Pag-withdraw ni Herlene Sa Ms. Planet Pageant!

Bagama't wala pang opisyal na pahayag ang pamunuan ng Miss Planet International organization kung matutuloy pa ba ang Miss Planet 2022 pageant sa Uganda, napagpasyahan ng manager ng pambato ng bansa na i-pull out na ito sa kompetisyon.

Ayon sa ibinahaging post ni Wilbert, napagpasyahan na niyang ipull-out si Herlene sa kompetisyon dahil sa umano'y uncertainties ng organization at ang kawalan ng pakikialam ng pamahalaan upang malutas ang isyu.

"Due to uncertainties by the organizers, I have decided to withdraw Herlene Hipon Budol from the competition despite numerous attempt to fix some pageants debacles. It seems like the Ugandan Government has no initiative to intervene.

We apologize to the supporters, who were rooting for since day one. To the team, sponsors, and designers. Thank you and I am sorry.

Thank you to the Filipino community in Uganda for the comfort and well wishes.

Especially to @Yiga Ventures, @Hassan Yiga & @Rama-dhan Kimbugwe and his team for protecting and keeping my queen, Herlene and her team safe.

For me as, MPP National Director, I an very hurt, Not only we lost a crown, lost of money, lost of effort; but lost of time.

But we will never lose hope, because we have bright future back home awaits.

This is indeed a traumatic experience for all of us, but we fought for it until the end. And that is our mission."
