It seems like the Miss Universe fever is not yet over as Binibining Pilipinas 2022 first runner-up Herlene Budol answered a fan's suggestion, which sounds like convincing her to join the prestigious pageant.
In her Facebook account, Budol expressed her appreciation of Philippines bet Celeste Cortesi which a fan left a comment that the Binibining Pilipinas beauty queen should have ended in the Top five if she had joined.
"Malabo, bobo po ako," Budol responded.
In a separate comment, she asked her fans not to force her to join the Miss Universe pageant as she is not - for her - for that international pageant.
"'Wag nating ipilit, 'di tayo pang MU pang bardagulan lang tayo. Do'n tayo sa kung saan lang tayo bagay. Ano sa tingin nyo?" she said.
Meanwhile, Budol was supposed to represent the country for Miss Planet International 2022 but later on withdrew from the pageant "due to uncertainties."
