Miss Universe Canada organization apologized to two Filipino designers who previously aired their negative experiences working with them in the international pageant scene.
As of writing, the official Facebook page of the pageant organization can no longer be accessed after it posted the statement on Tuesday morning, May 24 (Philippine time).
The statement is still accessible on its official website. Some pageant Facebook pages also shared it on their accounts.
The organization initially explained that they value the MUC titleholder’s “input and comfortability” in the designs they commit to.
“We do not commit to any specific design for any specific event; instead we collaborate with the reigning MUC titleholder, and based on her input and comfortability in each outfit we decide which outfit to wear at which event. As a result of that, we are not able to wear all of the beautiful designs sent to us,” they said.
