Naglabas na ng opisyal na pahayag ang pamunuan ng President Ramon Magsaysay State University sa Zambales matapos mag-viral ang larawan ng pa-welcome tarpaulin nila kay Miss Grand International 2024 1st Runner Up CJ Opiaza, subalit mali ang nailagay nilang larawan dito.
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.
Tila hindi naman ito nagustuhan ng fans at supporters ng beauty title holder, at sinita rin nang malala ang gumawa ng tarpaulin.
Ibinahagi rin 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 caption.
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.
Nakarating naman sa kaalaman ng pamunuan ng paaralan ang pagsita sa kanila ng netizens, kaya naglabas na rin sila ng opisyal na pahayag na humihingi ng tawad kay CJ. Napalitan na rin nila ng tamang larawan ang tarpaulin.
