Sam Panlilio's Exclusion is Politically Motivated

There are only two options so I am more inclined to believe it was politically motivated.

I have already talked about Nawat numerous times and I have to admit it is nauseating so this time I want to talk more about the pageant's credibility and the perception of pageant fans about MGI. 

CREDIBILITY. That's what Miss Grand International as an organization is lacking. Where can you find a pageant where the owner decides who makes it to semis and the finals, not the set of judges?  And these words came from (the irony of ironies) a former MGI winner Ariska Putri Pertiwi. So what's the purpose of getting judges when Nawat can do a one-man-band here - producer, owner, judge ... and EXECUTIONER! So which one is CREDIBLE?  Being chosen by Nawat or being selected by a set of judges?

If Nawat has an ax to grind to the Philippines, is it alright for him to be vengeful by not giving the innocent candidate who became the target of his wicked mind what is due to her?  If Nawat doesn't know Top 20 is a piece of cake, especially to powerhouse countries (Venezuela, Philippines, USA, Mexico, Colombia to name a few) The Pinoy fans is not asking for the crown, all they want is fairness in the game but if Nawat intentionally did not include her in the Top 20, something is really wrong with that picture.

And to think that he personally selected Sam Panlilio and he always hyped her to high heavens but in a twist of fate, he dropped her like a hot potato in the end. 

It's a Grand Scam of Things.
