  1. Time for the MUPh org to recalibrate and change their strategy. They should know by now based on past winners how much advocacy and comm skills matter in Miss Universe, not just ganda. Celeste is definitely beautiful, but from the get go her advocacy was never clear (from land to Save the Children) and didn’t come across as her top priority. Hope this serves as a lesson to the org and for them to step it up next time.

    1. They should take someone like Cat's communication skills and Pia's pinay or exotic beauty. Look at our previous semi finalist mostly morena. They should not just set their focus on stuff like runway and photo shoot here and there but more on advocacy and communication skills.

    2. Ewan ko lang noong 2000s Kasi Puro Miss Photogenic lang Ang Pilipinas from 2005-2007, then noong 2010s swerte na kung maka-top 10. So far in 2020s si Bea Gomez Yung highest ranking Pinay sa MU where she ends as one of top 5.

    1. Ilang taon bang hinawakan ni Stella ang MU at ilang taon ng na kay Shamcey kung makapagcompare naman parang 10 years ng continous na walang placement under Shamcey. Naforget na natin yung dekada 2000's natin sa MU under Madam Stella?

      Delete
    2. Despite the whole fiasco, im still willing to give Shamcey and MUPh a chance dhil theyre still new and sadyang napkaentitled lng tlga ng mga Pinoy. During Araneta's time, super hina tlga ng pinas. Ni hndi nga laging bukambibig ng mga pinoy ang sarili nating pambato. May iilan, but tlgang halos wala tlga. Nagstart lng nung nagkaroon ng placement si Venus which even us didnt expect anything from her or rooting for her. So wag tayo masyadong maentitled. If magppakaentitled k nlng nman, s mga nsa govt and pulitiko mo n lng yang iapply dahil doon tlga dapat magfocus. Like hello? Ang laki laki ng sweldo nila which came from us and its their job to lead us for the better (not drown us to miserable state).

    3. As if namang ang daming napanalo ni Madam Stella Araneta at BBP for Miss U.

      Look at her horrendous taste getting Colombian designers for the EG, and NatCos.

      Filipinos are very passionate fans but also becomes toxic pag hindi sila nanalo. Maka bash pa ng ibang contestants, napaka eww, napaka squammy. We are not the only country in the world, hindi tayo puro panalo.

      Celeste is a gorgeous woman, but probably talagang maraming strong contenders this year na very articulate and consistent with their advocacies. Let’s give it to her though cos she poured her heart out and please do not bash her as well cos sino ba naman gusto matalo esp with fans as toxic and entitled as Filipinos?

    4. Nakapasok si Venus nung 2010 at dun nagsimula na mapuna ng MU org.na maingay ang mga pinoy maganda para sa awareness ng MU kaya laging pasok tayo since then. Kaso sumobra ang pagka proud pinoy kaya ayan puputulin na nung Anne ang sungay natin

      Delete
    5. You better watch the video interview of Dr. BELO kay Pia. Masasabi mong kawawa mga kandidata. Grabe pinagdaanan ni Pia kay Stella. She is a manipulative person at dapat sya nasusunod lang.

  4. Nakakainis yung mga nababasa ko sa socmed na pa thank you kay celeste at we're very proud of you. Pwede ba? Wag kayong PLASTIC. Kulang ang performance ni celeste. Forgettable.

    1. Maganda kasi siya at may chance talaga na pumasok sa banga ang kaso naman ang panget ng preparation na ginawa ng team nila jan sa MU Ph. Naging complacent siguro sila ayan tuloy naging clapper si ate mo girl.

    2. Ikaw Naman accla. They're just giving her comfort. Nakikiramay lang Sila Kay Cheleste.

    3. Sa true lang. Very underwhelming. Objectively speaking, di nga nya deserve makasali sa top 16. Was rooting for her only because she represents the PH. Pero di sumama loob ko or nalungkot when she didnt place in the top 16.

      Delete
    4. 4:10 Grabe ka naman. Naghirap din naman yung tao.

      Delete
    5. Exactly, we should tell it as it is. Bakit i bi baby? Kung pangit ang performance, malamya o kung anupaman, sabihin para ma aware and mabago. We also learn from the criticism noh.

      Delete
    6. It’s not being plastic, it’s choosing to be kind instead of rude. Don’t kick someone when they’re down, karma is real.

      Delete
    7. 4:10 and 7:55 totally agree with you! Also, it boils down parin sa contestant how she presented and handled herself during prelims and pageant night. There are criteria’s used by judges, low score and mahina lang talaga sa kanila si Celeste. Take note isang judge Pinay pa ha.

      Delete
    8. Eto yun, real talk!

      Delete
    9. looking at her sa ibang soc med, ung mga photos nya sa airport and some events wherein ang ganda ng bihis niya, I really thought na may chance, but then during the prelims pa lang and the actual event, parang kinain na sya ng stage, walang ka presence presence talaga

  5. Maxine, Janine, Beatrice at Ariella yan talaga ang gandang pinay. Mga palaban.

    2. 4:12 I think yun talaga ang hanap ng mga foreign judges ang mas distinguished yung pilipina look. Kasi yung mga binanggit mo sa taas isama mo pa si Pia at Venus kahit may lahi mapapansin pa rin sa look nila ang pilipina beauty. Kayumanggi very pilipina look.

    3. Yes Janine! She should have been our 4th MU. Pinanood ko old videos nya. But Olivia Culpo won instead.

  6. Di kinaya ng bato ni Darna. Know when to peak pa more ayan na lotlot tuloy at naging major clapper pa. Dapat kasi umpisa pa lang pasabog na at nang lalamon na agad pak ganern!

    1. Tulad ng kay Pia at Catriona umpisa pa lang bigay na lahat.. kaya Standout talaga sila..laban na laban, kahit nung kay Venus Raj dati..

    2. at meron din na "nirereserba sa finals" linyahan. hello, ganun na ba tayo kayabang na nakalisya na tayo palagi sa semifinalists, ayan panggising sa kahibangan.

  7. Ang dami pa sinisisi bat walang placement si Celeste kesyo chaka yung gown, di magaling yung MUPH, kasalanan ni rabiya, etc. How about may part din na kasalanan ni Celeste mismo yung lackluster performance niya? Ang lamya nya sa true lang. Maganda siya yes pero di kasi enough yan para manalo. Kulang sa fire kumbaga. Duh.

    1. Di nga lang siya nag Darna pose sa National Costume nya. Di man lang nya tinaas yung kanan kamay. Sino ba naman di makasasabi na enough yung performance nya. Parang Easy lang yung pang lakad nya. Well easy paid off talaga. Hindi napasali.

      Delete
    2. Precisely 4:49, everything she was taught and coached in the end how she executed is the one that matters. She gave a weak performance or the other contestants were just really strong and full of confidence! Yun nga lang pag iyak niya on stage while walking is a sign of weakness, yung ibang natalo they displayed grace and poise am sure deep inside they’re sad also.

    1. My thoughts exactly! Like, yun na yun? Nag darna costume pero parang di kilala si darna. Wala man lang strength ni darna sa pose. Nag victoria secret lang.

  11. Hindi kasi ramdam kay Celeste ang connection nya sa Philippines. If you are representing Philippines, kahit halfie ka, you should be able to know more about the country. She's pretty, no doubt but lacks the package to secure/bag a place in MU. Mahirap sa iba, they keep saying na okay lang kahit may sobrang kulang. Many Filipinos like to settle for less or yung "pwede na" kaya ganyan nangyayari. Can you blame others for comparing kay Cat? She went to the pageant to get her crown attitude nya, yun ang kailangan ng future pambato ng PH. Hungry for the crown but not desperate and yet can still remain classy.

    1. That is right. Representing the Philippines pero di maruning managalog or di man lang nag effort magtagalog. Mabuti pa si Ms. Spain and Ms USA. when she was not called, it did not hurt. Shocking pa nga kung napasok siya sa 16 with her performance eh.

    1. Have you seen her latest interviews? Nagimprove siya. Mas magaling pa siya sa mga previous delegates natin. Nagkalat sa IG interview ng iba’t ibang media / pageant page sa kanya at talagang madasabi mong gumaling talaga siya. Sadyang iba ang hanap ng bagong org ngaun. Transformational leader. Strong advocacy talaga.

  13. I wonder kung aabot ba si Rabiya if 16 din lang ang kinuha nung time nya? Don't get me wrong kasi I like her. Parang ang baba lang pala kasi tingnan nung Top 21.

    1. I doubt kung napasok si rabiya sa 16. I think celeste could have made it easily sa top 20 but not rabiya.

      Delete
    2. I think may chance si rabiya kaso binago ng MUP yung look niya pinagmukhang Latina at Victoria Secret at ngayun ginawa uli nila kay Celeste. Hindi na nadala ang MUP. Hmp. Kung nagstick sana ang MUP sa strategy nila like kay Bea... di puro Ganda at kasexyhan lang. Matuto na Sana ang MUP wag puro awra. They should focus more sa communication skills at advocacy kasi ang lakad at awrahan pweding aralin ng ilang linggo...

      Delete
    3. Infairness kay Rabiya , she gift of gab. She might have done well in prelim interview. Sa awrahan din naman she seemed to catchy to the audience and made herself presence felt.

    4. Magaling sumagot c Rabiya , and maybe she did well during the Prelim Interview which is a huge factor para makapasok sa semi.

  14. Ang hilig kumuha ng mga half half, di bale sana kung pusong pinoy. Next time sana yung tipong Beatrice or Janine na may concrete, sincere at strong advocacy. Enough na sa mga walang appearance ng pagka-pinay

    2. 6:18 very true. Look sa mga previous finalist natin halos purong pinay look ang mga nakapasok - Pia, Venus, Janine, Aria, Maxine, shamcey at Bea. And let's not forget Miriam at Diaz very pinay beauty. Basta communication skills and then pilipina look malaki ang chance natin. Maging consistent lang sa advocacy din

  20. Masyado kasi hinahype ang beauty, na maganda naman talaga tbf, pero madami din magaganda dun. Sana magising ang MUPh Org na di lang dpat ganda, dapat all around magaling. At pwede ba, wag ako sa holding back holding back chuchu sa prelims, e dyan nga binabase ang mkukuha para makaabante sa next round at sa close door interview. Ang dating kasi parang ina-underestimate ibang kandidata e. Kaya lesson learned dapat yan sa org.

    1. This!!! I agree nga na parang pang a underestimate sa kalaban. They never learned and that is why it is sad. Kay rabiya pa lang, vocal na ang fans na that "peak, peak" strategy does not work. Ayaw makinig. Buti na lang may story si bea and something unique because of her gender orientation. Sa mga candidates sa muph, okay naman sana si pauline kasi maboka... si annabelle, maganda din ang story nun-transformational. But no! We had to be superficial.

    7. If we're talking about underserving placer, ang pinakaundeserved sa 12 candidates ay si Rachel. Napakashallow, mygad!! Second undeserving ay si Rabiya then 3rd si Max. Next, super nakakahinayang si Janine. Tpos, im glad for Venus dahil continuous ang growth niya. She really work hard for her academic degree and passion. Then lastly, super deserving si Pia and Cat. Theyre word very hard and fight tlga. Nirepresent tlga nila ang ating bansa.

    8. Oi grabe ka baklah, si Maxine napansin ng judges na since host ang Philippines, Ms Hospitality talaga si ate.Nagtrabaho sya oi.Halos nakalimutan na nya ang sarili to playing Hostess with the Mostess..dahil dapat ipakita ang beauty nang ating kultura ang Filipino brand of hospitality na nakita sa kanya..gaya nung kay Charlene protective siya lahat ng mga girls dahil hindi lang sila ms u candidayes,bisita din.Pinahiram nga nya si Ms India ng earrings dahil nawala ang sa kanya at nanalo si Ms India ng gabing yon.In return sabi ni Sushmita kay Maxine na sweet na sweet ito dahil totoo.Do not make light of Maxine's efforts and hard work and attribute it to us being host.Standout sya sa gown at pasarela at she possess winning charm and sweetness.Fresh na fresh pa siyang tingnan.

  31. Confidence and good communication skills are MU’s top priority. They want a BRAND AMBASSADOR. This is very clear on their website. It’s up to contestants to read that and deliver exactly what MU is looking for. Failure to do so will result in exactly this - no placement and disappointment
