HANGGANG ngayon ay nakakatanggap pa rin ng hate comments si 2018 Miss Universe Catriona Gray mula sa mga bashers sa social media.
Muling nagsalita ang Filipina beauty queen laban sa mga taong walang ginawa kundi ang manglait at mambastos ng kanilang kapwa sa socmed.
Nanindigan si Catriona sa kanyang pakikilaglaban kontra cyberbullying hindi lamang para sa kanya kundi para na rin sa lahat ng biktima pambu-bully, lalo na sa mga walang lakas ng loob na lumaban at ipagtanggol ang kanilang sarili.
Sa kanyang Instagram Stories, nag-post ang dalaga tungkol sa naging experience niya sa mga online bully, “So many use social media as a consequence-free way to attack, put down and degrade others.
“It started during my Binibini journey and escalated during my Miss Universe journey. I receive hate comments even today,” pahayag ni Catriona.
Paalala pa niya sa lahat, “It is never, ever okay to degrade someone, to harass them in the name of sharing your ‘opinion.’ Words have power to both put down and pull up. I hope we would choose the latter.”
May konek din ang naging pahayag ng girlfriend ni Sam Milby sa naranasang panglalait ng mga netizens sa ilang 2020 Miss Universe candidates.
Samantala, natanong din si Catriona sa isang panayam kung ano ang masasabi niya sa pagkapanalo ni Miss Mexico Andrea Meza bilang bagong Miss Universe.
“It was just so hard to tell who were really in the top spot. I think the girls really did exceptionally well considering how much effort they did to even get to this competition, to be there on stage tonight.
“It’s something to be applauded in itself that they were able to perform so well given the circumstances that we’re in globally,” aniya.
Ano naman ang reaksyon niya sa naging sagot ni Andrea sa Q&A portion, “I think that her substance was definitely there. I guess I wish I could have seen a little bit more power, a little bit more conviction in the way that she delivered.”
Bilib din si Cat sa talino ng napiling Top 5, “Miss Universe really needs to be in the role of a spokesperson because the main job, given that we do have the platform of social media or really using our voice to communicate, is really eloquence and communication. I really think Miss Mexico has that. In fact the whole top 5 were really eloquent.”
