Christine Balaguer was a deaf international model and announced as one of the candidates of Bb Pilipinas 2015. But recently Christine posted a status on her facebook page telling that she was removed from the competition. “IM VERY SORRY ABOUT THE BPCI MAKE ME RESIGN SO IM VERY DEPRESS EVEN I PRAY TO THE GOD!” Christine mentioned on the last part of her status.
Christine previously placed and among the Top 10 of Miss World 2014 and her life story was featured in Maalaala Mo Kaya who was portrayed by Venus Raj. As of the moment, BPCI have yet to release a statement of why Christine was out from the competition.
Some PWD (Persons With Disability) reacted on this news believing that the main reason of BPCI was because of her disability. In case if that’s true, then I guess its already a form of discrimination which i think we need to really voice out. I know how much Christine worked hard for this and as she mentioned she wants to inspire other PWD. We support you for that Christine.
