BNC, franchise holders of Miss Intercontinental Cuba, responded apologizing to Filipinos and the Miss Intercontinental Organization.
Cindy Obeñita was the second Filipina to win the Miss Intercontinental crown. She competed with 70 candidates from all over the world at the Hotel Sunrise Diamond Beach Resort in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
Obeñita isn’t only the beauty queen who was recently subject to post-pageant drama. Recently, a netizen accused Miss Universe Philippines 2021 Beatrice Gomez of cheating on her partner.
