Smear campaign
Earlier today, former beauty queen and pageant blogger Joyce Burto Titular wrote on her blog that she received a text message from Cory Quirino, Miss World Philippines national director, regarding a plot to destroy Megan’s chances in Miss World.
Here’s the text in verbatim:
JOYCE I NEED YOUR SUPPORT. this is my statement- There has been a smear campaign by a negligible sector of the Ph pageant industry to destroy Megan’s chances for a win in MISS WORLD. In Bali the mood and aura around Megan is positive and promising. I believe Mrs Julia Morley has explicitly answered this one relentless Anti Miss World Ph person/group to stop emailing the Miss World office as they are proud of all the candidates including Megan. My request to all our countrymen is to consider the honor the Miss World Crown will bring to the country. Lets join hands now to prove that the Bayanihan spirit is strong, alive and above all, genuine.
The Miss World 2013 finals will be held tomorrow, 19:00 (GMT +8) at the Bali Nusa Sua Convention Center, in Bali, Indonesia.
