Bb. Pilipinas International 2007 Nadia Lee Cien Shami-prim and proper?NOT. This girl should be stripped of her crown. How can a scheming,manipulative homewrecker represent the country in one of the major beauty pageants all over the world? At 15, she was brought to Manila by a much older man, old enough to be her father. Her benefactor belongs to one of the prominent families from the South. She’s the epitome of a social climber, who won’t stop at anything as long as she gets what she wants. The Bb. Pilipinas Foundation should be more strict and selective in choosing their candidates and winners. There are other girls more deserving than Nadia, someone who has the moral and values of a true Filipina, someone who doesn’t have any scandal/skeletons in her closet that would put any concubine/courtiers to shame.

Porket may dahilan tayong lahat sa ating mga gawain, hindi ibig sabihin tama na ginagawa natin. Ang magnanakaw, kahit pinapakain ang pamilya sa kaniyang mga ninakaw ay magnanakaw pa rin. At ang mga babaeng tulad ni Nadia na, ika nga nila, GOLD DIGGER at SOCIAL CLIMBER, ay hindi magandang representasyon ng ating bayan. Kahit anuman ang rason niya sa kaniyang ginagawa, MALI TALAGA. Huwag ka nang umeksena, George. At wala ka ring pakialam… ‘di mo alam kung ano’ng pinagsasabi mo. Sana nga lang hindi ito totoo. Pero ‘wag kang magpaka-tonta sa ilusyon mo tungkol kay Nadia. Kahihiyan siya ng Pilipinas sa ginagawa niyang kamalian.

Thank you, Mr/Ms. Iknowwhat Imtalkingabout. George, i pity you. You don’t know the first thing about her. You’re probably a fan blinded by the sash-wearing homewrecker. I’m sorry, but everything I wrote here is all true. She’s so good at lying that she’s been going around teling people that these are just words of her detractors. Whatever her reason is, she is in the wrong. It only goes to show how selfish she is. Think about the wife and the kids of her benefactor. She’s a high class prostitute,that’s what she is and she uses religion to cover up her trails…And just so you’d know,she has other bfs too aside from the “old guy”…I know things about her that you don’t wanna know..
