Bitter and sour losers. That’s what some people call candidates Taguig City’s Sandra Lemonon and Quezon City’s Michele Gumabao following their reactions after the coronation. Miss Iloilo Rabiya Mateo was crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2020 and her victory became controversial.
There were “retokada” rumors emerging after her photo when she was in high school got discovered by the netizens while others thought she’s not deserving. For a neophyte in a beauty pageant, she did really great because if she hasn’t, the judges won’t probably give her the title.
And there came rumors about her cheating in the competition. With this kind of allegations against the beauty queen, Alaiza Malinao, a fellow candidate of her representing Davao City believed she didn’t and was actually happy for her. Malinao believes she deserved the crown and title.
Miss Davao is also one of the top picks in the competition but she only reached the Top 16. In her social media posts, she congratulated Mateo and expressed she’s deserving. She even stressed that the newly crowned Miss Universe Philippines 2020 won fair and square.
She defended her and insisted that it was their “queen” who did her make up and worked hard to get the prestigious title. She wrote, “MASIPAG si dzai. She worked hard! She’s fair! She did not cheat. She is a deserving winner!”
Meanwhile, Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray warmly welcomed Mateo to the sisterhood. She said in her post, “Congratulations to our new queen Rabiya!!! Welcome to the sisterhood! Excited to witness your journey. Welcome to the sisterhood Queen.”
