Miss Grand International founder Nawat Itsaragrisil was quick to point fingers after the recent pageant held in Vietnam failed to crown a Filipino beauty queen.

He boldly blamed Filipinos for sending the “wrong” candidate — Nikki de Moura — and suggested that they should’ve sent a GPS-equipped contestant instead. Itsaragrisil called de Moura “unprofessional” for walking out of the pageant when her name was not mentioned in the top 20.

Outraged Filipinos, who take their beauty queens seriously, were quick to retaliate.

The House of Representatives unanimously passed a resolution declaring Nawat persona non grata, proving that you should never mess with Filipino beauty queens, as the nation is willing to go to great lengths to protect their precious crowns. 

Beauty pageant diplomacy, a new chapter in international relations!
