Sa naturang pahayag, nagkomento si Wilbert na tila dismayado siya sa mga nangyari.

"Pano indi mag postponed? lahat nag back at ubos na yung delegates," saad nito.

"Nahihibang pa cla may susupporta. yung integrity at credibility ginawa nila sa lahat ng delegates," dagdag pa niya. 

Bago ang opisyal na pahayag ng organisasyon, nauna nang nagpahayag ng pagkadismaya ang dalawang kandidata na sinaMiss Planet Czech Republic Tamila Sparrow at Miss Planet Jamaica Tonille Watkis.

“I have to apologize, but unfortunately we were robbed. We haven’t had even 10% of activity, nothing was paid, nor our accommodation nor our food. We’re stuck in the Uganda. We have been trying to solve it, even those who were not involved into the pageant paid their own money to keep our fed and safe. I couldn’t be silent anymore. I apologize for everybody who put a lot of effort in us monetary or mentally wise. But this has to be seen by public. Please share. 35 contestants (who hasn’t left yet) were scammed,” saad ng beauty queen mula Czech Republic sa kaniyang Instagram story noong Biyernes, Nobyembre 11.

“Thank you all for your support up until this moment. Unfortunately, the competition has been canceled. But, it was such an honor to have the chance to represent my beautiful Jamaica again,” lahad naman ni Jamaican beauty queen noon ring Biyernes.

Dahil sa pangyayari, minabuti na rin ni Wilbert na i-withdraw ang pambato ng Pilipinas na si Herlene Nicole Budol mula sa kompetisyon.

“Due to uncertainties by the organizers, I have decided to withdraw Herlene Hipon Budol from the competition despite numerous attempt to fix some pageants debacles. It seems like the Ugandan Government has no initiative to intervene,” saad ni Tolentino.

“We apologize to the supporters, who were rooting for since day one. To the team, sponsors, and designers. Thank you and I am sorry. Thank you to the Filipino community in Uganda for the comfort and well wishes,” dagdag pa niya.

Labis din ang panghihinayang ni Tolentino dahil aniya, hindi lang korona ang nawala sa kanilan team kung 'di, pera at oras para paghahanda sa laban sana ni Herlene.

“For me as, MPP National Director, I an very hurt, Not only we lost a crown, lost of money, lost of effort; but lost of time. But we will never lose hope, because we have bright future back home awaits,” aniya. “This is indeed a traumatic experience for all of us, but we fought for it until the end. And that is our mission.”
