Nagpangayo sang pasaylo si Karen Laurrie Mendoza sang Iloilo City kasunod sang iya kontrobersiyal nga post nga amo ang nagdugang sa pagpangduha-duha sang mga tawo kun may sala sa announcement sa coronation night sang Binibining Pilipinas 2022 pageant.

Kun balikan ang natabo, tuman kadugay ang announcement of winners sa grand coronation night sang Hulyo 31 rason nga nag-guwa ang espekulasyon nga may mix-up sa announcement of winners.

Kasunod sini, nag-post si Karen sang picture sang papel kun sa diin makit-an ang mga pangalan kag numero sang winners nga wala pa na-announce, rason nga nagduha-duha ang mga tawo kun nagbaliskadanay ang titulo nanday Binibining Pilipinas International 2022 Nicole Borromeo kag Binibining Pilipinas Intercontinental 2022 Gabriel Basiano.

Sunod man nga nagpanindugan ang tanan nga personalidad nga konektado sa Binibining Pilipinas organization nga wala sang mix-up kag husto nga winners ang gin-announce.

Yari ang paathag ni Karen sa iya nga Instagram post:

Queens are structured to act a certain way.

Dress appropriately, be polite and noble, should always abide by the rules, greet everyone with a smile and wave.

But aren’t we living in the 21st century?

Society always puts so many labels on how we should act.

If you didn’t say hi to fans, you are not friendly.

If you don’t dress like your own style, you can’t fit in.

If you had body enhancement, you’re not authentic.

if you stand up for yourself or others, you are overreacting.

If you made that one mistake. People will will criticize you and bring you down. They don’t even care about your explanation.

For me I don’t want to be that person that everyone wanted me to be. I want to be me. The flaws and the good. I want to be remembered as the girl who is not afraid not to be okay. An inspiration that your emotions don’t define and recognizing and labeling how you feel is the first step to healing.

That’s why I want to apologize on the photo I posted a few days back. Like everyone else, I wanted answers too. What was written on that piece of paper will cost a dream and I wanted to help shed light on the many questions.

But I deleted it because it was already clarified by the organization. Binibini is the pageant I joined in because I believe in the organization.

I wasn’t afraid to lose. I already know I won because I tried. I don’t want to be that girl who didnt try because she was afraid to lose.

That regret is going to hunt you forever.

I thought my first binibini was my first and last but I thank each and every one who pushed me to try again. Thank you for giving me hope and being behind me throughout my journey. I couldn’t do it without your encouragement.

Congratulations to the winners!

To stacey, you are a ray of sunshine, all throughout, to herlene, i’ve seen you blossom you are amazing, to roberta and chelsea, i may not have spent so much time with you both but i see that driving force, you’re both unstoppable, to gabi, i’ve seen your struggles, and all that condo late night talks are worth it. You outdid yourself. To nicole, since you were in shutter i know you’ll do wonderful in every field.

Can’t wait for what’s ahead. Love you all! 🫶🏼
