  1. The writer who used the word should be sanctioned. So mean.

    1. Also the editor 😑 irresponsible journalism

    2. The writer and editor or person who supervised the posting of such reprehensible act should all be terminated. Walang journalistic integrity ang Inquirer na yan! They used their platform to antagonize a person—Mali yon! Dapat tanggalin sa trabaho mga bastos na employees nila. Walang delicadeza mga yan.

  5. I don't really find her attractive. She may be pretty but she's not one to draw attention. Or maybe it's just me...

    3. You must see her in person to appreciate...or see her beside the winner and runners up in their recent appearance...see her in QC courtesy call wearing blue and compare it the Winner side by side. She looks more MUP.

    4. Maganda sya, tall, good posture she towers the others

    5. What you said 12:54 is out of context. Whether she's pretty or not is not the issue. It's the name calling and body shaming that is unacceptable, mean and unprofessional.

    6. My nanalo na girl. Tama na pagiging bitter

    7. Her face is not beauty pageant material naman talaga. She looks very bland and plain - even with makeup and styled hair. Her fans just can't accept the bitter truth.

    8. She has athletic body/ built that's why sometimes you find her awkward for a pageant. But she lost so much weight and she can carry herself well now. (I've seen her before nung di pa sya nagpageant, malaking babae lang talaga but okay naman face)

    9. Same tayo baks. She's not that attractive.

    10. I want to see your face hahaah. Michele is pretty. Nakakaloka. You may not like her because of her strong demeanor. Most filipinos kasi like underdogs, kawawa and all that. Pero she’s sa totoo lang she’s pretty and smart. She has an atheltic body lang but that’s not a bad thing din.

    1. Someone that can be compared to an Italian physicist, chemist, and pioneer of electricity and power who is credited as the inventor of the electric battery and the discoverer of methane is known as "borta" in honor of Alessadro Borta. 😊

  10. Hahaha!🤣😂🤣Natakot mabawasan ng subscribers ang Inquirer.

  11. She's not the prettiest among the candidates but she's natural. She's pretty even without make-up.

  12. I don't think that headline was approved by the news editor. Malamang yung social media manager nila wrote a "joke" headline in the drafts then posted it by mistake. Kahiya, that person should get fired.

  13. The writer and editor should be reprimanded, punished and fined and most of all ISSUE A PUBLIC APOLOGY.

  14. 2:03, the post was from some lowly entertainment writer who should have know better. It doesn’t represent the many excellent and responsible writers of the paper as a whole.

  15. Hmmm, she is pretty enough but nothing else that shines.

  16. Tigilan pag body shame ok parang di kayo nag buffet kahit bawal mag buffet

  17. Whether she's amazona type or not, she's really beautiful especially without make up.

  18. Borta means malaki ang katawan or macho

  19. I like her body! Sanay lang kyo sa payat. Ganda nga ng katawan niya eh. Much better yan kesa sa katawan ko na may muffin top. 😔 Ako lahat ng body types I appreciate whether slim, toned, or plus size. Mawala lang talaga muffin top ko. Aminin niyo na girls mas maganda ang katawan niya kesa sa katawan natin!

  20. I don't find her attractive at all. She may be pretty but not one to catch and keep attention to her face. Or maybe it's just me...

    ReplyDelete
  21. Grabe kung yan hindi maganda ewan ko ba ano ang pangit! Hindi lang talaga ok yun buhok and makeup nya during the pageant. Yun choice din sa clothes was not flattering for her body type. She needs a better glam team.

    1. Naalala ko during the late 90's and early 2000s puro mestiza or medyo light skin ang sinasali natin sa Miss Universe. Simula lang nung kay Venus Raj (siya kasi nasa top 6) saka na tayo pumili ng mga morena. Iniisip ko pa nun nung bata pa ako, ignorante pa ako nun. Sabi ko sa isip ko, "bakit hindi sila nakakasali sa top 15 man lang e maputi naman sila?" Since Venus Raj lang talaga natin nalaman na nags-stand out pala ang morena kasi yan ang tunay na kulay ng Pilipina. ♥️

  24. She is what you call big boned, so she doesn’t fit the slim and very trim bodies that are preferred nowadays.
