There's even a petition to reinstate Christine as Bb. Pilipinas 2015 Official Candidate

Truth be told, I’m not sure what words or phrase or statement to use in describing the removal of Binibini 5 Christine Balaguer from the roster of Bb. Pilipinas 2015 Official Candidates. And I don’t want to hazard a guess as to which one of the following possibilities:

1) Did she back out?
2) Was she disqualified for a valid reason?
3) Was she asked to resign instead for a valid reason?
4) Was she removed due to her being deaf? (with corresponding arrangements needed to be put into place to accomodate the translation/interpretation requirements? )

It could most likely be one of the above.

But I have no way of confirming anything because lips are still sealed.

So I might as well wait for an official press statement from BPCI regarding this matter.

In the meantime, the started petition to reinstate Christine as Binibini 5 could be in limbo for now. If it doesn’t prosper, then let’s enjoy the sweet lass via her filmed truth or dare video before all of this happened.

  1. She was forced to resign because she´s deaf. Sa Venezuela ng noong 2005, nanalo yung candidate nila na si Vanessa Peretti as Miss Venezuela International 2005. meron syang sariling interpreter.

  2. Sir Norman totoo bang natanggal sya kasi lumabas na yung nude photos nya na ginamit sa spa?

  3. Add her to the long list of Stella’s victims.

    If ever there were contractual conflicts, these could have been simply ironed out, negotiated and agreed upon.

    But as BPCI has demonstrated time and again, they are lazy and uncompromising when it comes to resolving issues. The BPCI would rather just throw the candidate under the bus because it is less work for them and gives yet another opportunity for the Colombian madame to flex her grandiose powers and intimidate the natives.

    Remember Sandra Seifert? Or the attempt on Venus Raj? I mean, Stella’s effin’ control issues are so bad that a girl can’t even pick her own dress! I mean how do you build confidence in your candidates if you dictate to them in this way ?!

  4. With all the thing I’m reading here, I think BPCI needs a better PR person. Wala nang ginawang tama ang BPCI sa paningin ng fans. Kahit sundin nila ang batas, ikinaiinit ng ulo niyo. Namimili ng batas na susundin.Typical Pinoy.

  5. What’s with all the issues regarding our BBP batch this year. Wow I was actually looking forward to her performance. I wouldnt even have mind if she won a crown! She’s fabulous and inspiring!

  6. She would have been a very interesting Candidate. Mukhang maganda ang personality niya and exotic ang looks.

  7. I don’t understand this. BP Charities– how uncharitable can you get? This is a contestant who very well fits into the “confidently beautiful” mold. Beauty and tenacity despite the difficulties– easily a differential advantage over other contestants, easily a good attribute that can add value to BPCI’s brand. And now disqualified? After this Barranza brouhaha, is BPCI going berserk?

  8. BPCI THE WORST. I actually attribute our success in international pageantry to the camps and to the fans, not to BPCI. If for anything, BPCI is only a hindrance to anything.

  9. Tsk tsk tsk is all I can say about BPCI !
    Stirring more controversy at the expense of poor Christine !
    Para nga naman pag-usapan si Stella at maging controversial ulit sa MU. Good grief enough already Stella ! ! !

  10. Binibining Pilipinas season na pala..

    Ang hirap mag move on.. parang may ‘separation anxiety’ and hangover ako sa 63rd Miss Universe. Maybe because day and night yung pageant sa Doral lang iniisip ko tas I keep checking this site for updates every 30 minutes.

    Sobrang napamahal na sa akin si MJ parang nakaka sad that her reign is drawing to a close na rin. Na feel ko rin to kay Ara last year.. yung parang mamimiss mo sila.. Hayst…

    It’s been 13 hours and I’m still crying my face off (in a macho way haha srsly).

  12. MMK. CONTRACT. BPCI DECIDED.

    g. I am neither a party to any existing Contract, which would, in the sole opinion and discretion of
    BPCI, shall cause my disqualification as an Applicant to, or a Candidate of, the 2015 Pageant.

      • They are not. Since ABSCBN is a third party to Christine and BBP’s agreement, there is nothing wrong with her contract with ABS CBN. Nauna lang talaga yun and the airing happened after she was announced as an official candidate where she also signed a contract. Bb Pilipinas is treating her equally by disqualifying her. Yes, she is deaf but she can read.

      • this is sad. she is one of the interesting candidates this year… oh well… life…

      • I like her too, a girl with big dreams crushed by the legalities. In all fairness sa bagong legal team ng BBP, ang sipag.

  13. BPCI is getting to everyone’s nerves that I think it’s just a matter of borrowed time that they will be losing the coveted Miss Universe franchise to some more credible and organized group. This annual predictable pattern of candidate disqualification of hopefuls after they are officially declared as candidates makes no sense. Shouldn’t BPCI exercise their option to check each applicants background for any discrepancy or conflicts of interests – grounds for disqualification – before going out proclaiming to the world that one made the roster as an official candidate? It seems BPCI never or refuse to learn lesson . Maybe it’s time for us disgruntled pageants to let them learn their lesson by boycotting this pageant organization. Philippine companies who are sponsoring and propping the so called i legitimacy of this inept beauty organization should pull out their endorsements as well. I hope to God, Berenguer’s disqualification was not all about her being deaf because that would tantamount to a discrimination basis which is even bigger trouble for BPCI if the case is documented as such. Enough of the shenanigans and BS BPCI. Shape now or ship out as you guys are sinking fast.

  14. She resigned out of fear of wearing recycled decade old gowns courtesy of the Bb. Pilipinas Boutique for the event’s evening gown competition.
    Natakot baka binahayan na daw ng mga kulisap at silverfish ang mga gowns. Magkabutlig pa balat niya 🙂

  15. Hunk, i never notice about eyebrows i thought it was funny hahaha… Anyhow, the sabotage is beginning to happen again! Look at this woman, beautiful, exotic, stature woman, and she has a story to tell, somehow SMA decided to junk that idea. oh well…


    • AYAW KO NA SANANG SAGUTIN PERO ETO NA NGA…
      KIMVERLNY SUIZA EYEBROWS UNDER A&Q

  16. SANA NAMAN ANG KF TIGILAN NA NG PAGLALAGAY MGA VENEERS SA MGA CANDIDATES NILA AT ANG A&Q AY TUMIGIL NA RING KA- EXPERIMENT NG MGA EYEBROWS NG MGA CADIDATES NILA.

    • Yang eyebrows nya last year pa yan. Remember nung screening last year parang drawing gamit ang permanent marker ang kilay nya. #justsayin’ #nohate
