Official Statement of Binibining Pilipinas USA from Insider Productions

With the spirit of fairness and understanding, we air the side of Bb. Pilipinas - USA. Insider Productions has sent us an e-mail through our own addresses so we earn the right to post this statement which is also found in their fan page.

To check out the statement of Bb. Pilipinas Charities regarding the Bb. Pilipinas-USA: here

 


OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF BINIBINING PILIPINAS USA
August 2, 2013

Binibining Pilipinas USA (“BP-USA”), along with our charitable beneficiaries for this year’s
pageant, Apl.De.Ap Foundation International and Mending Kids International, are very
disappointed to learn that some false and malicious statements have been circulating, to the
effect that BP-USA has claimed to be affiliated with Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI),
which operates the Bb. Pilipinas pageant in Manila.


Binibining Pilipinas USA is a registered US trademark owned by Insider Productions, LLC. As such, Insider Productions, LLC, is the only party authorized to use the registered name and logo of Binibining Pilipinas USA, and no other party has the right to use this name and logo anywhere within the United States.


At the risk of stating the obvious, neither Binibining Pilipinas USA nor Insider Productions has ever held itself out as being affiliated in any way with BPCI. This has been made abundantly clear from the outset, and made glaringly obvious by the fact that BP-USA has always committed to send one of its finalists to compete in Miss Philippines Earth, the direct
competitor of BPCI. Any suggestions to the contrary are patently absurd.


Every worthwhile effort draws its share of detractors, but we remain undaunted. BP-USA and its supporters have helped raise thousands of dollars for the charitable beneficiaries of this year’s pageant. BP-USA is also committed to supporting the Philippine Department of
Tourism’s “It’s More Fun in the Philippines” tourism promotion campaign, and has devoted a substantial part of the pageant to this effort. Accordingly, this is the final and only statement that we will issue about this subject, as we consider our legal options.


On behalf of Insider Productions, our generous sponsors, candidates, supporters, Apl.De.Ap
Foundation International and Mending Kids International, we thank you for your continued
support, and we look forward to seeing you again next year for Binibining Pilipinas USA 2014.
