Still Sad? Lighten Up with the Internet’s Most Hilarious Reactions to the 69th Miss Universe

After our PH bet, Rabiya Mateo, bowed out of the 69th Miss Universe early, Pinoy Twitterverse is taking the loss in stride. Mexico’s Andrea Meza ended up bagging the crown. Sure, it sucks that victory eluded us once again but there’s always the next time. This time, we’re just content with stifling our disappointments with memes and funny posts like the true blue Pinoys we are.

 

Rare footage of Rabiya backstage

We didn’t get to hear her answer any question but we’re sure she would’ve slayed it.

 


Bigyan ng jacket!

Since we’re in the middle of the pandemic, the pageant made sure everyone followed strict social distancing protocols. (Although later, after Miss Mexico is crowned, everyone rushes to hug her anyway). The last two women standing had to extend their arms to mimic holding hands before one of them is declared the winner. Naturally, Pinoys did some edits that lightened the scene.

Spot the difference

Kayo nalang humusga.

 

Everyone missed Steve Harvey

This year’s hosts are Mario Lopez and Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo. Judging from the reactions on Twitter, the viewers weren’t pleased with the pair’s hosting energy, or lack thereof.

Steve Harvey’s name trended early on and people called out Olivia for looking like she didn’t eat breakfast before hitting the stage (more on that later). There was no explicit reason given why Steve couldn’t host this year but he did say he will be back for the 70th Miss U. So no, it wasn’t because of his infamous mistake back in 2015 that almost lost PH the crown.

 

Olivia Culpo’s lack of enthusiasm

Olivia Culpo seemed out of sorts today and everyone noticed. Did she not have enough sleep? Was she anxious about being in a venue with an unmasked crowd? The internet dropped their memes and speculations:

Olivia Culpo *and* Janine Tugonon

Maybe the reason why Olivia wasn’t feeling it was because our Miss Universe 2012 1st Runner Up Janine Tugonon was in the crowd. At least that’s what some Filipinos thought. Others also brought up the fact that Miss Universe 2017 Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, who is Olivia’s ex-husband’s wife, was also present for the event.

Whew! That’s a lot of information to handle. No wonder ya girl looked so done.

ICYDK, Janine was Olivia’s first runner-up back in Miss U 2012. Many say Janine should’ve won the crown and have since pitted the two together. As for actual bad blood, we think there isn’t any of that between the two.

 

Other PH celebrities spotted

Those with wacky imaginations saw a few familiar faces in the contestants. Here’s Jinky Pacquiao:

and Megan Young:

Don’t you agree that they look like our Filipino personalities?

 

So this is the inspiration

Rabiya can say that her national costume was inspired by our national flag but we know better. It’s a chromosome fusion is what it is.

 

BONUS: MJ Lastimosa living *the* life

Some of the most aliw Miss U posts aren’t about the pageant itself. It’s all about the former beauty queens who livened up the mood backstage.

Aside from her witty commentary and reactions on Twitter, MJ Lastimosa (Miss U 2014 Top 10) also made everyone laugh at her antics. She posted a photo of her and Janine acting like true besties: taking stunning photos of each other.

Someone also saw Shamcey Supsup (Miss U PH Director and Miss U 2011 3rd Runner Up) snapping yet another photo for MJ in front of the stage.

They’re proof that our queens are not only elegant and brainy, but they’re also kalog and funny.

Petition for them to host next year’s Miss U, then?
