Miss Bikini Philippines pageant organization has filed a complaint against former contestant Roxanne Cabanero, demanding Php1.6-Million for the damage sustained by the organization’s goodwill and business reputation.

The demanded amount of Php1.6-Million includes the corrective damages that cost Php400,000 and legal cost of Php205,000 aside from the Php1-Million moral damages charged by the Slimmers World.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, executive vice-president Helen Camacho of Slimmers World International who is the responsible of filing the lawsuit against Cabañero told the reporter that the complaint was filed at the Makati Regional Trial Court last April 8, 2014 and raffled on Friday, April 11 to Judge Max de Leon of Branch 143.

It can be remembered that Roxanne Cabañero accused the comedian actor and TV host Vhong Navarro of allegedly abusing her during Cabañero’s stint in the competition.

According to the pageant organizer, Cabañero brought negative image and morally damage to the organization by her repeated and unwarranted mention of Miss Bikini Philippines and Slimmers World International in her complaint abuse against the actor Vhong Navarro and during her interview.

“There is no mistaking that [Cabanero] made mention of Miss Bikini Philippines for no other other purpose but to generated publicity, if not sympathy, for her purpoted plight, to the prejudice of the goodwill of [the pageant and the organization,” the complaint read.

“The unnecessary but malicious inclusion/mention of [the pageant and the organization],” the complaint added, has led to Miss Bikini Philippines being “publicly condemned for ‘failing to protect its contestants.'”

In the official statement of Slimmers World said that Cabanero violated the rules of Miss Bikini Philippines when she supposedly entertained visitors during the contest period which was strictly prohibited to all the contestants during their stay.

Navarro has since filed a perjury case against Cabanero.
