The 26-year old beauty queen said she prepared well for the pageant.
In an interview with Miss Earth 2017 Karen Ibasco on “Tonight With Boy Abunda,” the 26-year old beauty queen clarified the ‘cheating’ issue during the Q&A portion of the pageant.
“I didn’t know the hashtag. I didn’t know the question. Even in Miss Philippines, it was a controversy that she did so well in the Q and A, that she knew the hashtag, she knew the final question. I didn’t know anything about it,” she denied allegations.
Karen then reiterated what she did to have answered so well in the Q and A portion of the pageant.
“I prepared for it. And those people who are really trying to say that she’s not deserving and they didn’t even watch the pageant, maybe they would want to watch it again. Because the contest is fair. That’s what I really want to say.”
“Especially when I joined Miss Philippines Earth and Miss Earth, I knew it was not going be easy because it’s here in the Philippines I had to give double, even triple the effort just to prove to people that I was also paralleling with other co- candidates, the same that they are doing,” she added.
