MANILA, Philippines— Local designer and sculptor Jef Albea publicly called out the Miss Universe Philippines Organization for failing to pay him for the trophies he designed and crafted for their recent coronation night.

Miss Universe vanished into thin air. They refused to pay me for the trophies I designed and crafted for the coronation night.
'Albea also used this opportunity to advocate for fellow artists, many of whom may not have the resources to withstand such mistreatment.'I fiercely advocate for my fellow artists with unwavering passion; not all artists can take and afford this mistreatment. Please, do not let our work be taken for granted,' he finally said.Back in May, Albea shared his excitement about designing the trophies for Miss Universe Philippines.
