All’s well between Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach and businesswoman Kathelyn Dupaya who is based in Brunei.
This after Dupaya apologized to Wurtzbach for her rants against her in relation to her visit to the tiny nation recently.
“I thank Kathy for clarifying the issues she raised against Pia, and for apologizing for what she has done,” said Jonas Gaffud, mentor of the beauty queen, in a statement posted on Instagram.
“Clearly, what happened was misunderstanding as she never heard Pia talk bad about anything;”
“Pia is thankful for the hospitality that Kathy provided during her private vacation in Brunei;”
“As her manager, I was prepared to answer Kathy’s claims, but she reached out to clarify her issues;”
“Communication is really important to settle conflicts and prevent misunderstanding;”
“We learn from mistakes, however, and I hope what happened will serve as a lesson for artists, talents, managers and producers to formalize arrangements in order to avoid confusion and any problem,” said Gaffud.
The story between Wurtzbach and Dupaya first came out on PEP recently.
PEP said that Wurtzbach came to Brunei with her boyfriend Marlon Stockinger last February 2017 on the invitation of Dupaya.
The businesswoman said that she was expecting Wurtzbach to attend the soft opening of her spa in Brunei but she did not.
“All the damages was done….. i am so sorry po kung ano nasabi ko kasi sobra ako nasaktan and i believe nasaktan din si Pia;”
“Both of us ay nasaktan kaya both of us say sorry for everything at tao lang po tayo lahat para di magkamali;”
“Minsan pag galit di na natin alam nasasabi kaya sorry sa mga nasabi ko below the belt…”
Dupaya said that she had a lengthy conversation on the phone with Gaffud and settled the issue.
