Hmmm, Miss Asia Pacific World is starting to bounce back after that huge scandal. Last year's pageant didn't have any controversy or something to that effect. That's a good sign.
If they can sustain or maintain the pageant CLEAN, FAIR and SQUARE and WITHOUT ANY LITTLE INCONSISTENCIES OR PROBLEMS, I would say MAPW will be more recognized that MAPQ. It will all boil down to the number of countries participating. If more and more countries will send their respective girls in MAPW, then we can say that they have forgotten the past scandals and the trust is there. I think the MAPW has already learned their lessons!
