An enraged Nawat revealed the Philippines' offer to spend money on the tournament at MGI 2023

The denunciation between "Aunt Nawat" and the Filipino side has not ended, recently, to prove her "explosive rage". The president of Miss Grand was not "shy" to expose the fact that the Philippine representative had made an offer to buy the award.

On November 1, netizens circulated a video of Filipino beauty Mary Jean Lastimosa - Top 10 Miss Universe 2014 disparaging the Miss Grand International (Miss Peace) pageant in a TV program.

In particular, Mary Jean Lastimosa posed the person next to the question "Which is the worst beauty pageant in the Philippines"? The other girl replied, "It's Miss Peace Philippines and Miss Peace International as well." Then both beauties burst out laughing.

The video was quickly posted on beauty forums and caused a lot of controversy. Many criticized the two Filipino beauties, claiming that they made inappropriate statements on television when publicly disparaging an international beauty pageant.

Immediately, during the livestream on his personal page, Mr. Nawat also revealed many behind-the-scenes stories related to the sale of Miss Grand rights in the Philippine market.

He expressed a scathing view, revealing for the first time the stories of "bribery" behind the scenes once again taking social media by storm. Nawat said an organization in the Philippines contacted Nawat and offered to pay a huge amount of money to own the rights to the competition. However, the organization stipulates that it must be crowned Miss Grand International and that the Philippine representative must be crowned Miss Grand International.

At this offer, Nawat and Teresa, the vice president of the competition, were both angry and flatly refused.

After the fact that Filipino beauty Nikki De Moura was not named in the top 20 at this year's pageant despite being a highly rated contestant, many Filipino beauty fans called on the Miss Grand Philippines Organizing Committee to give up the copyright to the pageant.

Responding to the issue, Nawat said, "Filipino fans don't talk about giving up copyright with me. Because today there were 3 emails from organizations in the Philippines sent to me asking to buy copyrights.

You have to tell them, not me. Today you tell me there were 3 emails, tomorrow it could be 5, because we are famous, but our prices are very high."

About how Miss Grand was scorned and laughed at by Filipino beauties. The new Miss Grand International 2023 runners-up have spoken out in unison, defending the pageant they just won.

Specifically, the new Miss Luciana Fuster shared on the story: "See you soon Papa Nawat to continue conquering the world with a lot of effort, hard work and respect. Only girls who have competed in MGI understand why we are Grand The One and Only. This is the best and biggest show ever. There's always a great crew behind and an unforgettable experience."

Ni Ni Lin Eain, 1st runner-up in Miss Peace 2023, expressed her feelings, "My heart aches after watching that video. Miss Grand International is one of those epic beauty pageants and we always prove it with action..."

Maria Alejandra Lopez Perez, 2nd runner-up, also shared her opinion on the competition: "... I don't share the disrespect. I don't believe in pedaling others to stand up. If you haven't found your own light yet, if you feel you're wrong, just divert with humility and acceptance. The world still has many "adults" but is childish in action. Be a bigger person, bring peace to the world... Teasing others doesn't make you a true queen."

When orchestra Hoa, the runner-up of MGI 2023 simultaneously defended the competition, many Vietnamese viewers were curious how Le Hoang Phuong would react to this situation. On the night of 1/11, the beauty from Vietnam also expressed her thoughts on her personal page. She wrote: "Miss Grand International is prestigious and fascinating. The 11-year history of the competition proves and it is easy to see how popular MGI is. And I believe in that and am proud to be the 4th runner-up in Miss Peace International.

What you like or dislike in life is your own opinion. But bringing an organization out to joke or blame like in the two girls' interviews recently is reckless. Be a civilized young generation!"

Even recently, her personal page, Thuy Tien also shared to attract many interested audiences. Specifically, Miss Peace International 2021 said:

"I have grown and become who I am today because of the title of Miss Grand International. I was able to travel to many countries that I had never thought of, to carry out many charity projects that I cherished thanks to Papa Nawat and Mami Teresa and the Miss Grand organization.

I appreciate this organization and believe that the competition is not only meant to entertain, but also my dream. I think everyone will have their own opinion but please share it with sincerity and politeness."

Years ago, Nawat and Filipino beauty fans were at odds. The president of Miss Grand International also banned the famous Filipino beauty website - Missosology from publishing information and images related to the Miss Peace contest.
