The organization behind the Miss Bikini Philippines pageant has filed a lawsuit against former contestant Roxanne Cabanero, who has accused actor Vhong Navarro of allegedly raping her during her stint in the competition.
The case, which was filed by Slimmers World International at the Makati Regional Trial Court last April 8, was raffled Friday to Judge Max de Leon of Branch 143, Slimmers World executive vice-president Helen Camacho told ABS-CBN News.
Slimmers World is demanding Cabanero to pay P1 million "for the damage sustained by [the organization's] goodwill and business reputation."
This is in addition to P400,000 as corrective damages and P205,000 for legal costs.
The pageant organizer said the moral damages were brought about by Cabanero's repeated and unwarranted mention of Miss Bikini Philippines and Slimmers World International in her rape complaint as well as in her interviews.
Slimmers World also said Cabanero violated the rules of Miss Bikini Philippines when she supposedly entertained visitors during the contest period.
The Department of Justice has cleared Navarro in Cornejo's rape complaint and approved the filing of criminal charges against her, Lee, and 6 others.
