MANILA, Philippines – The organizer of the 2011 Miss Earth beauty pageant in Manila has backed Miss Earth USA Nicole Kelley’s claim that she did not make negative comments about the Philippines.

In a statement released on “TV Patrol” on Friday, Lorraine Schuck said they have conducted their own investigation on the matter.

Based on their findings, Schuck said that “the incidents cited on Facebook never happened and [Kelley’s] cellphone had no internet access.”

Kelley has earned the ire of several netizens after an undated screen capture of her alleged negative comments about the Philippines spread on social networking sites.

The comment goes: "I hardly made it to Manila and we already attended a ridiculous TV show. So annoying!!! These people want to touch you and be with you all the time!! I can't understand a word they say. I can't wait to go back home. This country is so dirty and noisy. I'm scared to eat!!! What a mess. On a lighter note, I don't see any real competition."

Kelley has denied making the negative comments through a recorded video she uploaded on YouTube.

She said that she never posted such comments about the Philippines, explaining that her Facebook account was hacked. – Reports from Mario Dumaual and Gretchen Fullido, ABS-CBN News
