Herlene Budol’s Talent Manager Speaks About Miss Planet International 2022 Alleged Cancelation

MISS PLANET INTERNATIONAL 2022 – Herlene Budol’s talent manager Wilbert Tolentino spoke about the alleged cancelation of Miss Planet International 2022.

The Miss Planet International pageant, which was supposed to hold its second edition on November 19—the first pageant after the pandemic— shocked the pageant world with reports that it had been canceled. Our very own Herlene “Hipon Girl” Budol was one of the rumored 80 hopefuls who wanted to compete in the pageant.

Two candidates of the said pageant have spoken up about their experience while Wilbert Tolentino, the manager of the Herlene, stated that while their team may not have had a good experience, but they are “surviving” while awaiting the official statement from the pageant’s organizers.

Wilbert Tolentino posted on his FB page, today, November 11. “Sa mga concern netizens at mga nag tatanong ng UPDATE sa Miss Planet International kung totoo ba cancelled ang event. eto ang kwento…lagpas kalahati ang indi naka pasok sa Africa dahil wala silang Yellow Vaccine fever at Ang Sponsors ng Organisasyon tulad ng SPEKE RESORT, KAMPALA na matitirahan ng delegate ay nag back out dahil sa issues ng Ebola Virus,” he began.

Wilbert Tolentino went on to say that although the organizers had a “Plan B” and had put the other candidates up at a different hotel yesterday, a situation arose that required some of the contenders to find their own lodging. Tolentino stated that while he understands the other contestants’ sentiments on their situation, he also pointed out that this is the first time that Uganda has hosted an international pageant.

“Subalit d pa naka settle ang nasasabing Hotel kaya need mag check out uli ang mga Candidata. So, kanya kanyang diskarte muna sa pag kuha ng kanilang matitirahan sa Airbnb At d naman natin masisi sari sari emosyon ang bawat candidata epekto sa indi maayos ang systema at hindi nakapag kain ng tamang oras mga candidata. May apat hanggang anim nag withdraw dahil mauubusan ang budget kung tumagal pa sila sa UGANDA. First time nag Host ng international pageant ang bansang UGANDA. kaya indi naka align sa original plan ang Calendar Activities,” Wilbert noted.

Wilbert Tolentino also mentioned that the Miss Planet International organization’s CEO will arrive on November 12. He encouraged the public to wait until the organization release a statement.

“Rest assured we are all safe buong TEAM PHILIPPINES. Hindi man maganda experience naranasan namin dto. but we are proud to say that We are Survivor in our own way. Tumuloy man o indi ang Pageant, in good faith tayo lumaban at pinaghandaan. We will keep you posted as soon as we have an additional information. Thank you!” his post ended.
