Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Hindi pinalampas ng iba pang mga Filipino fashion designer ang mainit na pagsasagutan ng Team Canada at kapwa Filipino Designer na si Michael Cinco kaugnay sa akusasyon na sinabotahe raw ni Cinco ang gowns ni Miss Canada representative Nova Stevens.

Hanggang ngayon ay mainit pa ring balitaktakan sa social media ang pag-buwelta ng Team ni Miss Canada na MGmode Communications. Ayon sa Team Canada ay “terrible mistake” ang pakikipag transaksyon sa Filipino Designer na si Michael Cinco dahil sa diumanong pagiging ‘late’ ay hindi nagkasya kay Nova ang mga ipinadalang gown.
No choice umano ang Team Canada kundi remedyuhan pa ang pinadala ni Cinco at hindi rin nasuot ang pinadala para sa Preliminary evening gown competition.
Mayroon pang patutsada ang MGmode na tila mas may pinapaboran si Cinco dahil kay Miss Canada raw ay “ill-fitting” ang mga gown samantala sa isa pang kandidatang ginawan ay maayos naman ang pagkakagawa.
Sa kabila ng mga paratang na iyan kay Cinco, to the rescue naman agad ang kapwa Filipino designers nito. Umalma si Jaggy Glarino na isa sa mga Filipino designer na tumulong sa pagbuo ng Nova.
“To cut the story short, the look didn’t make it to the close door interview. It was a missed opportunity really, a waste of time, money and effort. A lesson learned the hard way. At least our package went on a round trip tour; from Manila to Chicago, Miami, Dubai and back unworn right? Even if things didn’t go as planned, we are still very grateful to all of the people who have helped us and to M5 (Michael Cinco) for the opportunity! We are beyond grateful for your trust Mademoiselle!” ani Glarino.
Nag-reply naman si Bessie Besana sa naging reaksyon ni Glarino.
“Fact: Jaggy Glarino, Vhee Co, Francis Chee even asked me to bring a suit for Nova as per M5’s paki suyo for the preliminaries. This is how good hearted M5 is na kahit pang prelims interview gusto niya na maganda ang suot ni Nova. Sadly the suit did not make it in time because the person who was suppose to get the suit from me in Chicago was not responsive! I had to carry pa the suit in my personal luggage from Chicago to Hollywood, FL para iwanan ko lang sa reception ng hotel. Gosh, my heart is breaking madam Michael Cinco. We love you!” paliwanag naman ni Besana
Bukod pa riyan ay may pahabol pang pahayag si Glarino,
“That is unfair! In situations like this, you do not expect someone to just keep quiet and be passive. You just gotta’ clap back and serve them!” dagdag pa ni Glarino. #DM
