Calling a Spade a Spade

It has now become common knowledge that the unstoppable CM for all her sweet and wholesome onscreen persona is not one to take things lightly in defense of her loved ones. It is never a fiction when we hear of CM taking the bullet for them when push comes to shove – anytime, anywhere.
Not too long ago when CD got embroiled in a controversial love affair, CM's overheated temper was put to a test once more as she did not mince words in lambasting the people she believed caused her CD so much pain and heartaches. At that time, CM didn’t care for the consequences of her actions as long as she believed people paid for the injustice done to CD.
In the final run 'though, CM paid dearly for it.
Of late, CD has been visibly active socially, getting spotted elsewhere having dates with desirable guys in town, which she would downsize as just harmless, friendly dates. Expectedly, malicious talks point otherwise, saying that those dates were beyond friendship, especially that one she had with Heartthrob Actor HA.
During a mini media event in one Network NE, CM was asked about her take on HA's revealing his feelings for CD which media had been feasting on for days. CM was quite relaxed in her answer but pointedly told the reporter that HA was definitely okay with her for CD. But her last statement somewhat caught everyone off-guard when she said, "At least HA does not look like he is out to use a woman to look like a man."

Netizens Blame Ariella Arida's Loss on Gown, Want Pinoy Designer to Clothe Ms. PH Next Year

Given that Ariella Arida was considered a frontrunner on pageant night and actually aced the question-and-answer portion that many had feared she would have difficulty with, many are still wondering and analyzing why Miss Philippines still fell short of winning Miss Universe in Moscow on Saturday (early Sunday, Manila time).
It seems like the blame now goes to her choice of gowns in the competition. From the national costume terno to the yellow evening gown that she wore during the preliminary competitions and the coronation night, feedback was mostly unflattering and even downright harsh.
While praise was largely universal for the way Arida carried her gowns, both the national costume and the evening wear themselves were far from well-received, especially given that the other contestants also did a good job of carrying what many considered to be better-designed gowns.
“During the Miss Universe national costume show, Miss Philippines disappointed fans for her traditional terno dress. Even her yellow, off shoulder evening gown was not impressive enough,” posted the Dubai-based Emirates 24/7 in a post-pageant report.
Aside from those two dresses, the blue gown that Arida wore on her official pre-arrival photos posted in the Miss Universe website did not escape flak as well.

As it turns out, Alfredo Barraza, the Colombian designer who designed Arida’s gowns, has been drawing harsh criticism for his creations for Philippine representatives to Miss Universe for many years.
In a 2011 article posted by Missosology.org, a reputable site specializing in analyzing beauty pageants, Barraza was described as “the most hated man in the Philippines”.
“Year in and year out Alfredo Barraza has disappointed Filipino pageant fanatics. Critics have been extremely harsh on this Colombian designer, a very close friend of Stella Marquez Araneta, Binibining Pilipinas’ pageant madame.
“Alfredo Barraza has been blamed for sabatoging Miss Philippines candidates with his lackluster evening gown designs sometimes deemed by Filipinos as “THE BASURA CUMBIA” creations. To add insult to injury, Mr. Barraza also designs for the reinas de Colombia (pageant queens). And when he designs for Miss Universe Colombia, the gowns are always superior to that of his Miss Universe Philippines!” the site posted.
After Arida’s loss, the clamor to have a Filipino designer take over in designing the gowns for the country’s Miss Universe representative has been renewed, this time by a good number of social media netizens who have also aired their displeasure over what many of them believe are the Binibining Pilipinas organizers’ choice of wear for Miss Philippines.
