MISS Universe Philippines Maxine Medina is being bashed because of her poor command of the King’s language.
This prompted Liza Dino Seguerra to react.
“Focus on her strength. Hindi nya kailangang piliting magpakabihasa sa Ingles para Lang magkaron ng edge para manalo. Bakit hindi kumuha ng translator para mas Malaya niyang masagot ang mga tanong,” post ni Liza sa kanyang social media account.
This was met with mixed reaction from the readers of a popular website.
“Kahit anong language and dialect pa sagot ni Maxine kung sabaw naman ang comprehension skills, wala rin. She can’t comprehend talaga kahit simple and basic questions pa,” say ng isang fan.
“Tama. Wag ipilit kung di keri. Sa Pinas naman ang pageant kaya magtagalog nalang siya,” pagsang-ayon ng isang guy kay Liza.
“Yan na nman si bawang! Nakasahog sa lahat. Haaay!” walang kaabog-abog na comment ng isang guy laban kay Liza.
“I really really want to support Maxine all the way but it’s not just about her english. It’s the substance that’s missing. Poor maxine…her only fault is that she won Bb. Pilipinas,” said one fan.
What’s our take on the issue? Well, if Maxine can really express herself in a manner that is understandable by the judges and if she can infuse some wit on her answer, we think that she could rise above that challenge.
Ang tanong, makakapasok ba siya sa top 5 ng Miss Universe?
