Jason Abalos denies Vickie Rushton was unprepared on Bb. Pilipinas

13 Jun – Jason Abalos recently defended girlfriend Vickie Rushton for failing to get a placement in this year's Binibining Pilipinas.

As reported on Inquirer, the actor dismissed the idea that Rushton was not fully prepared for the competition when she didn't do well during the Q&A segment.

"She really prepared for this. What she wasn't prepared for was the fans of other candidates who made noises when she was answering during the Q&A portion," he said.

However, Abalos said that he won't blame the fans either, as he would also "feel threatened" if another candidate was bagging awards instead of his favourite.

Nevertheless, the actor also expressed hope for others to learn to be respectful.

During a backstage interview, Rushton admitted that she was annoyed by her own performance during the said segment, revealing that a member of the audience was distracting her by standing up and making a face toward her.

Rushton was the first runner-up in the 2018 edition of the Binibining Pilipinas.
