Samantha Lo, the Philippines’ representative to Miss Grand International, was unable to go to Venezuela, where the pageant will be held, due to issues involving her passport, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has confirmed.
In a statement sent to ABS-CBN News on Friday, the DFA said it received reports that Lo “was unable to continue her journey to Caracas due to alleged issues with her passport.”
“Based on an ongoing investigation, the DFA confirms that Ms. Lo has no record in the DFA passport database and is continuing the process of ascertaining the facts of the case,” it added.
Early this week, pageant fans noticed Lo’s absence from pre-pageant activities in Caracas, prompting speculation as to whether she was still an official candidate.
On Wednesday, Venezuelan jeweler George Wittels, the pageant’s crown maker, said Lo was in transit to the South American country.
She, however, was unable to board her flight from Paris to Venezuela, Wittels told fans via Instagram.
Going by her most recent Instagram update, Lo had been expecting to join Miss Grand International without a hitch, as she posed with the Philippine flag in a photo captioned, “See you soon, Venezuela!” — With a report from Willard Cheng, ABS-CBN News
you do note da liar is my peyk...passport!
ReplyDeletePeyk peyk mo
DeleteNaku, na confirm ng dfa that she has no phil passport. Puwede siyang makasuhan ng crim case for using a fake passport
ReplyDeleteSino pala itong babaitang ito?????? Ano nationality nito???? Hahahahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteSure na makakasuhan yan. Lol. Susme alangan na hindi eh na-media na. Unfair kung hindi.
ReplyDeleteHala ka, may criminal liability yan.
ReplyDeleteDapat sa paris pa talaga madetect? Hindi ba pwede sa pilipinas muna first of all?
ReplyDeleteOo nga. Paano nakalusot sa immigration?
DeleteAgree. Kung may issue sa passport, bakit di nadetect sa NAIA at sa Paris pa? Medyo nakapagtataka
DeleteBaka US passport ang pinakita sa immigration?
DeleteNaku immigration imbestigahan yan
DeleteIsa pa itong nakakahiya.
ReplyDeleteBakit ka nahihiya eh hindi naman ikaw si Samantha.
DeleteNakakahiya kasi you should be a good example considering beauty queen tapos fake passport.
Deleteisn't it required to have a philippine passport when you join binibini? im curious...
ReplyDeleteShe was born and raised in the US if I’m not mistaken so for sure ang ginamit nya siguro na passport when leaving PH is yung US passport nya then nung nasa Paris na syempre hahanapan ng ibang documents and interview with immigration. Na-mention siguro na representative sya ng PH for a pageant in Venezuela so hinanapan ng PH passport. Baka don sya nabuko.
ReplyDeleteVery unlikely kung ginamit nya ung US passport nya; they are visa free in Schengen countries. I think she used her Philippine passport sa France.
DeleteAno ba yan. Mahirap bang kumuha ng passport?
ReplyDeleteMadali lang at ang bilis lang ng proseso sa mall
DeleteSo is she actually not Filipino? Totoo ba na yung dad nya is Chinese-Filipino or Wala talaga siyang claim to citizenship? What a mess. The gall to compete for Bb. PILIPINAS when you know you’re not actually a citizen, nakakaloka
ReplyDeleteHahahaha..nakakahiya!
ReplyDeleteBKIT KASI NAGPAPASALI P NG MGA HALFIES, OR 1/4 OR 1/8 PINOY? Ni hndi nman ntin 100% sure kung proud yan to be pinoy or just using being pinoy just for the sake of showbiz career. Wag tyo maging bano s foreign.
ReplyDeleteSide note: oo, hndi ako 100% proud to be pinoy, but hndi nman ako ganyun kabano s mga foreigner
i think pure pinoy sya kaya lang pinanganak at lumaki sa US. she doesnt even talk tagalog. lakas ng kursonada ni ateng na mandaya.
DeleteHalfies? Hello daw sabi ni Pia at Catriona
DeleteMe ibang lahi or half pinoys na mas pinoy pa kesa 100% pinoy.
DeleteNapaka daming arte ng security dito sa Pilipinas pero nalulusutan pa rin. Incompetence all over.
ReplyDelete2:47 Maybe she used her US passport nung umalis cya ng bansa since dual citizen cya.
DeleteMay bayaran pa din.Bat kaya hindi sya nakulong? Sa ibang bansa pagnahulihan ka ng fake passport pwde ka makulong at magfine, pwede din maban ka sa country na yon.
Deleteeh baka nga kasi US passport ginamit nya
DeleteShe used US passport going out of PH and fake PH passport sa France. The fake PH passport belongs to a man.
DeleteBasa din pag may time bago blame sa govt. Mas dapat sisihin team of organizers nya
she mightve used her us passport going out of pinas kaya ganyan. then probably used her phil passport since she's going to venezuela to compete kaa dun nadetect
ReplyDeletepasalamat ka mas malakas ang awayan ng barretto’s sister at natabunan isyu mo.ban ka na sa pageants sa pinas,nanloko pa ng passport,that means pekw ang details nya sa application.
ReplyDeleteMy gad girl bakit mo pa pinilit! Makukulong ba sya?
ReplyDeleteSusme!
ReplyDeleteIf she's carrying a fake PH passport, bakit nakalusot sa immigration dito? Kaya ang daming human trafficker dito sa PH eh, dahil alam nila na very incompetent ang airport security natin. TSK!
ReplyDeletePilipinas na nga ang niloko, Pilipinas pa ang sinisisi ng iba dito!
DeleteLagot ka gurl di ka pala pinay ala ka din phil passport alien ka pala wagka na sumali pinahiya mo pa pilipinas sa kalokohan mo
ReplyDeletepaano siya naka-alis ng pinas kung walang passport? pag-check in mo pa lang sa airline hahanapin na ang passport, ano yon magic?
ReplyDeleteAyyy. Napakahina naman ng comprehension mo. #slow
DeleteSo wala sya Philippine passport when she competed sa binibini? Bakit sya tinanggap? Or fake na talaga ang gamit nya na passport since?
ReplyDeleteobviously aware sya na wala syang passport. Bkt kaya ang lakas ng loob nya to attempt leaving the country? For months she could have had it processed
ReplyDeleteShe can leave the country using her US passport. Actually it is easier to leave the country using a US passport than Philippine one.
