SOBRANG sweet at nakakikilig ang Instagram post ni Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray para sa love na love na boyfriend na si Sam Milby na hindi nga niya nakasamang mag-celebrate dahil nasa Australia pa siya.

     Pinost ni Queen Cat ang photo nila ni Sam na may caption na, “Happy birthday my love @samuelmilby! So sad I can’t be with you today to celebrate (even though you hate birthdays) but so thankful I get to do life with you. ILYSM.”

     Marami naman ang natuwa at bumati kay Sam na nag-celebrate ng 37^th birthday, celebrity friends man o netizens.

Pero may mga bashers pa rin na ayaw magpaawat sa pagko-comment sa relasyon nina Sam at Cat, na ‘yun iba ay hindi pa rin talaga maka-move on at matanggap.

Ilan nga sa iba’t-ibang reaksyon ng netizens sa entertainment website na fashionpulis.com:

“ang papabol naman ng mga jowa ng mga beauty queen.”

“Ang yummy ni Sam huhu.”

“I noticed that every time they have a picture together Catriona’s head and body posture is always bent down para mag mukha siyang mas maliit kay Sam. Both of them are 5’10 but the girl looks taller than the guy.”

“Di talaga sila pantay ng status, akala ko Tim Tebow levels ang makakatuluyan ni Cat.”

“baket ano bang level meron si Tim Tebow? can you guarantee that she will be happy with a guy like him? napakababaw and superficial way of analyzing compatibility!”

“Sikat at mayaman din si Sam Milby na galing sa sariling-sikap. Kung sa looks naman, guwapo rin siya.”

“Ikr.. look at Pia umangat level nya from unknown car racer to Ceo of an org… well know na sya internationally hndi pa sya nag level up.”

“Ang bagsak lang naman ng mga nagpapageant e maging asawa ng mga Jocks/Athlete, Actor/Celebrity, Mga BigTime Business Owner at Old Political name family! Tapos irarampa mga material wealth nila na mga European Brands. O kaya mag-aartista o maghohost! Kaya nga nagtataka ako sa mga questions sa kanila na mga Social Problems, Political Issues at Decision Making concerning Life and Death Situations.”

“If you are miss Universe, you get someone with the same caliber. Wag kuha ng boyfriend na puchu puchu.”

“Love them together.”

“Sweet naman. Kilig!”

“sweet and cute.”

“Sad to say, its all downhill for this girl when she broke up with Clint, started singing and made Sam her bf. She lost that spark.”

“Super downgrade. Sam pa talaga.”

“ito ang pampanira ng career ni Cat. Inuuna mo yung lovelife palagi girl. Wag ganun.”

“uhm, i dont find them bagay. Pls dont bash me. Cguro kasi miss u sya noh kaya ang taas ng expectation ko sa magiging fb ni cat hihi. I mean look at pia and demi.”

“Talagang Swerte ni Demi kay Tim, Know him personally, mabait at mapagmahal sa Diyos si Tim. Mabait rin si Demi, mayroon siyang inalaagn na sister na disabled.”

“You guys are weird. This is cat own choice. He heart chooses him so be it and this not like he doesn’t have money himself.”

“paki explain kung ano mataas sa level sa pagiging beauty queen? anong kaibahan nila sa ibang career women?”

“Nice couple. HB Sam!”

“For me bagay sila. Happy Birthday, Sam!”

“Unpopular opinion: Ang swerte ni Cat Kay Sam.”

“Paano naging swerte si Cat?”

“I really wonder what’s with the ‘downgrade’ comments. If you see how john prats, angelica p, moira, etc. speak about Sam, parang ang bait bait niya. Walang ere, walang pa-mysterious effect.”

“I dont get it..bakit downgrade si Sam? Mukhang ang bait naman nung tao, guwapo, not a big star but he seems fine, hindi siya mahirap lol, may production company sila nila john prats, loved by his friends, walang nega attitude about him na nbabalita. Miss U si Cat but she seems to have come from a normal aussie family, di naman siya high society sa Oz. For me bagay sila. Sam is older, but then Cat is not that young also. I wish them happiness!”

Samantala, excited na si Queen Cat dahil sa wakas iri-release na ang kanyang song na “Raise Your Flag”.

Post pa niya, “I’m so proud to finally be releasing #RYF – a song and personal anthem of mine. The message of this song has always meant more than raising our country’s flag on a universal stage – it’s about feeling that your dreams are VALID, that your voice MATTERS and that life is best lived when it’s lived for OTHERS.

     “#RYF For the ones who think they can’t get somewhere. For the ones who think no one believes in them. For the ones who feel like giving up. “

     “Streaming on all music platforms 05.28.21 @starmusicph @csmusic.ph.”

IMBIYERNA ang Dubai-based Filipino fashion designer na si Michael Cinco sa pinakakalat na fake news ng glam team ni Miss Universe Canada Nova Stevens.

Sinisi ng naturang team si Cinco kaya hindi nakapasok sa Top 21 semi-finalist ang kanilang representative sa Miss Universe 2020. Pinapalabas ng Canadian team na sinabotahe raw ni Cinco ang gown ni Miss Canada. Bukod daw sa late dumating ang gown, hindi rin daw tama ang pagkaka-fit sa katawan ni Miss Canada.

“I spoke with them (Miss Universe Canada glam team) and requested them to not make this a big issue – because it is not the truth. But they are ungrateful and still made this matter in public so I have to air my side and set the record straight,” talak ni Cinco.

Heto ang pinost ni Cinco sa kanyang Facebook: “You have been spreading fake news about me and my team being unprofessional days before the pageant but I chose to be quiet and calm. But this time, I need to stand up for me and my team, as it is just so UNFAIR! I strongly take offense as it involves my team and my credibility. Not to mention, the eventual realization that I have been used and SCAMMED by these low lives PSEUDO GLAM TEAM.” 

Binunyag ni Cinco na pinilit daw ng glam team na gawing 23” ang dapat na 26” na waistline ni Miss Canada sa gown nito.

“You were forcing me to make Nova’s 26” waistline to be cinched to 23”, which I obviously didn’t heed even if you said that in pageants, comfort doesn’t matter. But PLEASE dont say that her gown was ill-fitting.”

Malaki rin daw ang ginastos ni Cinco sa ginawang photoshoot ni Miss Canada sa Dubai.

“I even went out of my way hiring a team of a world-class photographer to shoot her in my couture gowns at a world-class location in Dubai just to give her extra publicity mileage and create for her a balance of glam and luxury as opposed to her humble homecoming in Africa. And everything was PAID FOR BY ME. Did you get that?!”

Tatlong taon na raw ginagamit ng Miss Universe Canada glam team ang kanyang serbisyo at never daw siyang binayaran ng mga ito para sa mga ginawa niyang gowns para sa mga kandidata nila.

“A SIMPLE THANK YOU NOTE FROM NOVA, YOU AND YOUR TEAM would have sufficed. But you don’t have the grace and decency to do that. YOU ALL ARE UNGRATEFUL, VILE and professional USERS. Next time don’t ask me or any FILIPINO designers to dress up your candidates. Ask your Canadian designers to showcase your works in the world stage!”

Dahil sa ginawa ng glam team sa kanya, never na raw niyang tutulungan ang mga ito.

“I don’t need you in my career. Dressing up your candidates will not help my business. Stop scamming Filipino designers. HOW DARE YOU!”
