Please give me a minute to explain. “A year ago, when I was checking informatio­n on social media,m I saw a picture of Kylie, Miss Internatio­nalInterna­tiona 2016. Just by natural reaction, I thought that it was notno a good picture of her and I commented based on my honest feelings. You would agree with me that sometimes,som even the most beautiful person, could have a non-really photogenic picture... due to the angle, lightingli­g or a wrong moment. “Perhaps,Perhap I could have stated things more clearly but due to my limited English I made you all misunderst­ood me. I want to emphazise that I don’t judge or comment about people just like that. Instead of being more explanativ­e about my meaning, after realizing that I did not use my words correctly, I immediatel­y deleted the comment.

“After that, I decided to keep silent because I did not want to cause any more misunderst­andings or accidental­lyntally hurt anyone’s feelings (including g Kylie’s ones if she would have noticeded about that).

“I am so sorry for r any inconvenie­nce caused. I sincerely ncerely apologize for hurting Kylielie and you by accident. This is a lessonsson for me and I will take more caree in the future.

“I wish all Filipino fans goodd health and happiness... and congratula­tions ulations Kylie for your successful year term as Miss Internatio­nal 2016. Best wishes for you!!” sabi ni Nguyen.
