BERLIN, Germany (The Adobo Chronicles) – Saying that Sarah-Lorraine Riek does not speak for them, officials of the organization in charge of the Miss Germany pageant, has issued an apology to Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.
Shortly after the pageant finals on Sunday, Riek, Germany’s contestant in the international pageant, told a television reporter that none of the contestants voted for Miss Philippines and that she was very upset at the results. As part of the final judging process, each of the contestants, other than the top three (USA , Colombia and the Philippines), was asked to vote for who she thinks should be the next Miss Universe.
In issuing the apology, the German organization stated that, ‘in fact we are extremely happy that Wurtzbach won. She is Germany’s candidate too!’
Wurtzbach, of course, is half-German.
Germany has won just one Miss Universe crown in 1961 (Marlene Schmidt) while Wurtzbach is the third Filipina to win Miss Universe (Gloria Diaz in 1969 and Margarita Moran in 1973).
