  1. Why bother have to have ladies from countries with weak passports compete kung magiging issue yun and will cost them the crown? Can't their org issue them the necessary work permits and provide visa assistance so they can fulfill their duties? Ang cheap at basura ng rason ha.

    1. It's also worth noting that Olivia has an American passport. She can travel mostly everywhere.

    2. this rocha dude is not so bright. lalo lang nya inaamin na hindi nanalo si mexico ng fair and square. e di sana meron rule na kapag kakailnganin mo ng visa above 50 countries for example e hindi ka na pwede sumali. they approved all these MUO franchises so the assumption is they are all on equal footing to win the crown.

    3. and lets say talagang hassle makapunta sa iba't ibang bansa dahil sa visa, e di piliin nyo where she can go while you're processing papers for the next one. also, it's a digital world, marami nang ways to connect worldwide, businesses run remotely. what a lame argument that confirms bias.

    5. At bakit? Malakas ba passports ng mga beaucon powerhouses like India at Venezuela?! Di naman issue yun nung nanalo si Cat at Pia. Echosero!

      El mundo no esta en acuerdo con usted, señor!

    1. Yep, palusot lang yang siRaul na yan. Basura mag rason. Mahuhuli mo talaga isda sa sarili nilang bibig. Just like kung pano nya minaliit si Omar pero ang totoong na expose ay kung anong klase syang tao.

    1. Not a consideration. If that is the case, dapwt di na pinasali. This is discrimination due to nationality.

    2. atska ganon din ang pilipinas, weak din passport natin... dami naman natin crowns!! instead manahimik sila, lalo pa tuloy sila nahalata..

      Delete
    3. Lol… that was never a criteria and that was not announced … so excuses excuses.. and btw Mexico is a strong passport??? Patawa tong DOM na toh!

      Delete
  5. This Raul Rocha is digging his own grave more. As if a Mexican passport is strong. Duh? Eh di sana di na pinasali kung yun Ivory Coast in the 1st place kung isa pala yun sa criteria. Akala ko ba diversity

  9. Kupal naman neto. Pag kayo e boycott bagsak MU na yan

  10. Lame excuse! If she were crowned Ms Universe, visa shouldn’t be an issue.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Lame! Lame excuse! This shouldn’t be an issue. Whatever you say, this whole pageant is a nonsense. No one should ever join next year.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Eh kung kasama pala sa judging yan, wala talagang mananalo from countries with "weak passport" na sabi ml. Eh di rigged nga. If so, wag na invite mga weak passport holders - magsasayang lang sila ng money, time and effort. Anong klaseng competition eto. May discrimination. Visa? Eh di mag apply at bayaran nio - sabi mo Ms Universe kayo.

    ReplyDelete
  13. And Mexico's passport is not part of the global south? It is the MUO's responsibility to ensure their winner will have the right visas. It is also discriminative. Tells of how weak, corrupt and ineffective the current owners of the MUO are.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Boycott na lang tong pageant na to!

    ReplyDelete
  15. What kind of reasoning was that? She can’t be Miss Universe because she has a weak passport? That’s your job to apply for her being the owner of the organization. The Miss Universe is an ambassador of goodwill. She will be able to acquire a visa in every country she visits. Also, was raised in the U.S. and the UK which means she has travel history to the first world countries and therefore applying for a visa wouldn’t be an issue. Dapat pala ni-limit nyo na lang ang candidates exclusively from the first world countries. What a lame excuse.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hahahaha Olivia is us citizen. Lame excuse from Raul the demon, 🤣🤣

    ReplyDelete
  17. This is totally unfair. Walang kwentang contest. Iboycott na yan.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Miss Universe is now headed by shady people.
    Si Anne, nagtatago sa Thai authorities.
    Si Raul, konektado sa mga sindikato ng sugal/casino.
    Kaya pala natakot si Nawat eh 😖
    Wag na muna magpadala ng representative ang Pilipinas diyan.

  19. She’s a US citizen!! Are you dumb!

    ReplyDelete
  20. He didn’t check her IG page. She’s been all over traveling. Lol

    ReplyDelete
  21. Eh bakit nyo pa inappoint as MU Africa Oceana na sabi nyo mag travel din naman

    ReplyDelete
  22. What a st*pid argument.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Sa dinami ng excuses na pwedeng gamitin, weak passport talaga yung pinili nila? Parang subtle way ng pang-mamaliit not only to her but her country in general!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Dapt bguhin ang criteria ung tipong pang Diplomat pra wlang issue sa visa / passport… kaloka

    ReplyDelete
  25. Congratulations you have just confirmed biases and rigged judgment happening all along... thank you no need to investigate... admittedly she has one of the most of best answer delivered in a pool of nonsense judges

    ReplyDelete
  26. Miss Passport na lang sana name ng pageant

    ReplyDelete
  27. Sa lahat ba ng sinabi ni Raul, may ibang tama? Hindi ba puro sya? So sya na.

    ReplyDelete
  28. OHH paging MissU-Philippines organization, wag na magpadala ng kandidata habang si rocha an head kasi weak passport tayo!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Just when you thought na ka cheapan na si Haluuuu unipars at si "cooking show" Nawat, along comes SiRaulo with a new low. Sadsad na talaga etong MU na eto. Sinasayang nila yung prestigious history ng pageant.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Bakit ba hindi nadadala ang mga bansa dito sa Miss U. Dati may video si Anne na pinapayagan makasali ang mga trans at may asawa pero hindi naman nila papanalunin. And now this passport kineme ni Rocha. Ano pa ba ang kailangan ng mga bansa para madala at masabi nila na may dayaan talaga ang Miss U recently since JKN at Legacy held the ownership?

    1. Kse yung mga fans di rin nadadala. Sa Philippines na nga lang despite ng nangyari pinag uusapan na ng mga accla kung sino papadala sa Puerto Rico next year

  33. Lolol. This guy is a knucklehead. Sigh. He should joined forces with our government.

  34. Ms Côte d'Ivoire has a US passport. He is digging his grave - wala kasing maibigay na reason.

    ReplyDelete
  35. How can you say she has a weak passport when she’s holding an American passport? Between US and Mexican passport, obviously, mas powerful by a mile ang US passport. Tong si Rocha, di nag-iisip ng matino.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I hope the MUPh will boycott MU for now until this resolves. They will shake.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Nyeta, ano pinaglalabas ni cockROCHA eh ako nga na US passport holder pero need ng visa before entering Vietnam.

    2. Mas bet ko nanalo ang Pinas, maganda sagot at maganda pa

      Delete
    3. 2:48, gurl kaya nga hurado. Sila ang may say kung sino mananalo kaya yes, depende sa taste nila ang outcome. But in this case, obvious na dinaya ung results kasi kahit ibang hurado sinabi na may irregularity eh.

    4. ilang miss u na ang nabash dahil cooking show daw pero wala namang epekto ang bashing, sila pa rin ang queen gaya ni olivia culpo na feel ng fil si shamcey dapat nakoronahan. sportmanship na lang.

  46. This pageant has become super disgusting.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Next year, just include candidates with strong passport if that is the sole criteria for winning the pageant. Rename the pageant as Miss Passport.

    ReplyDelete

    1. This. Should just be called Global Passport and Media Engagement Pageant; apparently those are the criteria for winning.

  48. After all of this fiasco,
    Ms Universe is now a joke.
    Ms Grand is now the top tier pageant.
    Ms World napagiwanan na since there are times na hindi yearly ang pageant nila. Super boring din ang production.
    Ms International is extremely outdated and maypagka exclusive (gusto nila mapuputi), low budget din ang production.
    Ms Earth lacks the budget/too poor to present a proper high class pageant.
    Ms Supra, may budget nga pero the pageant, the sash/title doesn’t seem “expensive”

    ReplyDelete
  49. This Rocha guy should shut his mouth. He’s dragging down the MUO everytime he opens he says something. PR nightmare personified.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Just keep digging Mr. Rocha.
