Controversial personality, 24-year old, Roxanne Cabanero has backed out as candidate for Ms. World Philippines 2014 pageant.

Ms. Cabanero surfaced on media months ago to publicly accuse comedian/host Vhong Navarro of raping her.

According to Cabanero's complaint affidavit, she was allegedly raped by Navarro on April 24, 2010, or close to four (4) years before she formally lodged her complaint. She went public of the rape incident weeks after her alleged friend, Deniece Cornejo, accused Navarro of raping her inside her condminium unit in Taguig.

However, Cabanero's statement against Navarro drew flak from netizens, questioning her credibility and morality amidst some alleged nude photos of the younger Cabanero that are scattered in social media and internet. The said nude photos allegedly prompted Binibining Pilipinas pageant in 2011 to kick her out as candidate.

Cabanero's joining Ms. World Philippines 2014 pageant drew violent reactions from the netizens citing her fitness and alleged questionable background that run contrary to what Ms. World stands for.

Cabanero was quoted as saying that she backed out as a candidate and apologized to Ms. World for dragging it to her personal and controversial issues.
