As Filipino pageant fans put it, the plot thickens as stories arise in relation with the issue concerning Dubai-based Filipino designer Michael Cinco and the team behind Miss Universe Canada, MGMode Communications.

A “transformer gown,” that is the dress Miguel’s team planned with Michael Cinco, which he said during the interview didn’t happen. He also confirmed that the gowns arrived late and didn’t fit properly.
According to the beauty queen, she doesn’t usually dignify drama or hate with a response because she believes in peace and love as food for soul. However, because she continues to receive messages of hate, she felt the need to clarify a few things.
Among others, Nova shared how designers and pageant contestants enter into sponsorship agreements regularly.
“Just as they do at award shows or any other public event, it’s not ‘free.’ It involves an immense amount of effort+ negotiation on both sides,” she said.
“SPONSORSHIP IS NOT CHARITY; it is an agreement to lend a gown to a public figure in return for PR, publicity and safe return of the gown.”
