Ken says : This is the 3rd time a Filipina won the most anticipated annual pageant held in Malaysia, and not to mention they also won the previous year event.
Rizzini was one of my most favourite contestant and I'm quite surprised for her victory. However, what saddened me is that she never graced the billboards Nathalie of Netherland has doned before her. Why did nobody in Malaysia acknowledge such beauty? Making her a brand ambassador and putting her face and figure on the advertisement will definitely enlightened the mutual spirits between the two countries.
Therefore, why dont we make Angeli graced the Malaysian billboards?
