Miss Universe-Philippines Rabiya Mateo recently expressed her disappointment over Filipino fans.
Making rac!st and hate comments against other contestants of the upcoming Miss Universe pageant.
Given the competitive nature of beauty pageants and the enthusiasm surrounding them, it’s only natural to expect that things can get heated online. However, some pageant fans took it too far.
Miss Universe Canada Nova Stevens posted on Instagram a black-and-white photograph of herself.
Collaged with a collection of rac!st comments trained on her skin color. Unfortunately, all of them were in Filipino.
Meanwhile, Miss Universe Philippines Rabiya Mateo addressed the issue in a Miss Universe Philippines virtual conference on May 5.
She said that she sent personal messages to her co-candidates and asked for their forgiveness.
“I actually personally sent messages to Amanda, to Nova saying sorry because these hate speeches that we see online, this is not a reflection of who we are as Filipinos,” the Miss Universe Philippines titleholder said.
She added, “I can say that we do love pageants, and we support girls. And with Miss Universe, the goal is to celebrate the differences and to be with the girls and the cause that they stand for.”
Rabiya also expressed sadness over the rac!st comments her beauty queen sister Nova received.
“I saw the post of Nova earlier today and I really feel sorry for her because nobody deserves to be in that position,” she said.
Being someone who has experienced such a thing as well, Mateo stated that buIIying is a very emotional topic.
“That’s why I’m actually planning to make a video, the organization and I are planning to make a video to make an appeal to the public to stop being rude. Because it costs nothing to be kind,” she added.

Nito lamang nakaraan ay ibinahagi ni Miss Universe Canada Nova Stevens sakanyang Instagram account na @thenovastevens ang isang larawan kung saan ay may mga hindi magagandang kommento na nakasulat sa tagalog.
Narito ang kanyang post sakanyang IG account kung saan ay umabot na sa mahigit 28,000 ang nag like sa kanyang post.
“Here we go again. I’ve been receiving this picture in my inbox a lot lately.
“With all that has been going on in the world ‘black lives matter’ ‘Asians are human’ you would think this would bring us together. Instead, looks like some people are still stuck in their ignorant and racist ideologies. I’m really disappointed with some Pageant fans from certain countries. Your hate takes away the fun and enjoyment from this once in a lifetime experience. Is it really that difficult to spread love instead of hate? No one is saying you HAVE to support all contestants, all we’re saying is that you support your delegate without bringing others down. You don’t need to dim someone’s light in order for you to shine.
“The world is evolving, people are realizing that beauty is not exclusive to one specific group of people. The definition of beauty applies to all; because beauty can be seen in different shapes, shades and sizes. Please see the beauty that is in this world. We don’t need to look the same, we just need to treat each other the same.”
Matapos niya itong ma ipost ay inedit niya ito at nagdagdag ng mensahe sa kanyang post. Na kanyang sinasabi ang kanyang pagpapasalamat sa mga comment at menshae skanya. Kanya ding ibinanggit na maayos ito. Nilinaw din niya ang post na ito ay hindi “generalization”, kung saang sinabi niya sa post na “some”.
Narito ang ilang sa mga comment na nakasulat sakanyang IG post. Ilan sa mga ito ay nakatranslate na sa wikang Ingles.
Nakakalungkot na isipin na may mga tao talaga na nariyan na nagbabato ng mga ganitong klaseng salita sa kanilang kapwa. Ang mga ganitong pangyayari ay nagpapatunay lang din sa kasabihan na “Ang punong hitik sa bunga ay siyang laging binabato.”
Matapos ang post nito ay nagbahagi ulit siya ng bagong post kung saan ay naglalaman ng mensahe na:
“Let’s end things on a positive note. To my Filipino fans: I’m sorry if my previous post caused you any harm.”
Ang kanyang ibinahaging post ay mas higit na nakakuha ito ng mas maraming likes.
Ang Miss Universe 2020 pageant ay ililive sa pamamagitan ng iQiyi app and website, para sa mga gustong manood.
