Grendel and Jenilyn suffered that same fate of Sandra Seifert in 2008 when the latter was disqualified by Madam Araneta, chairman of Bb. Pilipinas, because she had a sexy photoshoot in a popular men’s magazine. Seifert was considered a front-runner that year. She later joined Miss Philippines-Earth in 2009 and eventually won the title. She competed in Miss Earth 2009 and ended up the 1st Runner Up winner.
