Bea Rose's dad provoked because of lies

This is one of the biggest issues occurred this year because ever since Miss International 2013 winner Bea Rose Santiago got interviewed by Buzz Ng Bayan, she said that she did apologized to her dad, Paul Valencia Santiago, the person who abandoned her when she was young. Days after the interview, her dad posted a very long response on his Facebook account stating that what Bea Rose said about her family life...is a lie. It says...

“This is in reply to what my daughter Bea Rose Santiago had falsely and maliciously said during her interview last Sunday (January 5, 2014) in the Buzz ng Bayan."

“Also, this is an overdue reply to all the innuendos that had been levelled against me by Bea's mother Ophelia Monterde who deceitfully uses her deceased mother's name in her Facebook account."

“I would like to point out that I am issuing this statement not to ride on the 'popularity' of my daughter, I have kept silent for a long time but I can no longer stand the lies and malicious imputations that are being hurled against me by my own flesh and blood."
