Naloka ang mga netizen sa kumakalat na larawan ng welcome tarpaulin para kay Miss Grand International 2024 1st Runner Up CJ Opiaza ng isang unibersidad sa Zambales, hindi dahil sa typographical error sa titulo o pangalan niya, kundi sa mismong larawang inilagay rito.
Kung titingnan kasi ang larawan, sa halip na si CJ ang nakalagay, ito raw ay si Miss Grand International 2024 na si Miss India Rachel Gupta.
Ibinahagi ng kilalang Filipino shoe designer na si Jojo Bragais ang nabanggit na larawan, naka-tag pa sa Facebook account ni CJ.
"Christine Opiaza Nakaka Loka! " aniya sa kaniyang Facebook post.

Maging si TV-host actress at Miss Universe Philippines 2014 MJ Lastimosa ay napa-react din dito.
"Hoiiii nag iba kana CJ wkwkwk," mababasang komento niya.
"MJ Lastimosa waiting ako sa update if inindian ni cj ung event lol," tugon dito ni Jojo.
Samantala, ilang netizens na raw ang siyang "nag-adjust" at inedit ang nabanggit na larawan.
Sa kabilang banda, nakarating na ito sa pamunuan ng paaralan at naglabas na rin sila ng opisyal na pahayag na humihingi ng tawad kay CJ. Napalitan na rin nila ng tamang larawan ang tarp.
