On new year's eve, Colombians observed their tradition of burning effigies to ward off bad luck for the year, but with a twist: the faces on some of the effigies included Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach and US comedian Steve Harvey, the 2015 Miss Universe coronation night host.
A video of the effigy-burning activity was posted on Facebook on Friday, January 1, by user Noider Almanza Barraza, and has since gone viral. In it, effigies of Pia and Steve are being burned.
Noider turns the camera around after a while, and smiles, waves, and cheers. Other cheers and festive music is heard in the background as well.
The video was reposted on the Senyora Santibanez Facebook page on Saturday, January 2. Many Filipino social media users called out Noider and Colombians on being "bitter" about their bet's loss at the Miss Universe pageant.
The burning of effigies, called año viejo (old year), is a New Year's Eve tradition in Latin American countries, where it is believed that the act wards off bad luck in the coming year. The effigies are burned at the stroke of midnight too.
Other Latin American social media users who observe the tradition have posted photos of their effigies of Pia and Steve too.
On December 20, Pia won the Miss Universe title in Las Vegas, after host Steve Harvey mistakenly announced Colombia's Ariadna Gutierrez as the winner. Steve apologized for his mistake after.
Ariadna has since spoken up about the incident on Colombia’s W Radio, saying that the experience humbled her and the rest of the Latin community present at the pageant.

Pathetic! Dapat i banned na ang Columbia sa mga beaucon. They need to practice sportsmanship. Grabe cla!
ReplyDeleteTehc Colombia. Spell ko ulit. COLOMBIA. Oks ka na?
Delete8:46,Ke Columbia, COLOMBIA or Colambo it doesn't matter tingin-tingin din kung anong asal meron mga taong Ito.
DeleteHuwag na sanang patulan ang mga bitter. Sila lang napapahiya sa pinag-gagagawa nila. Nasa atin naman ang crown eh. Suportahan niyo na lang si Pia. :)
Deleteill manners breeds in that country just like their representative. no wonder.
Deletewag na patulan, sunog pa more, sila din naman lalanghap ng usok dun. basta ang korona, rightfully ours
DeleteOh please 9:22. The other commenter just corrected you na para next time makipag usap ka, hindi ka na mali. Columbia is the University in USA. COLOMBIA is the country.
DeleteSana may gawin ang Ms Universe dito. Sobrang bastos ng ginawa nila.
DeleteThe best revenge would be if someone impersonates Miss Colombia in a porn movie cos that's where she belongs.
Deletegrabe sila d makarecover.
Delete1:09 isa ka pa gatong ka pa! Instead magkampihan tayong mga pinoy sa dahil sa pambabastos eh maling spelling pa ni 7:48 napansin nyo. Dapat effigy nyo ni 8:46 sunugin at mukang magkaka ugali kayo ng mga colombians.
DeleteColombians are the most stupid people in the universe. Pia is innocent, she didn't even have the crowning moment that she truly deserved! OMG!
DeleteI don't get it. What does Pia have to do with the pageant fiasco? Are these Colombians even thinking?
Delete1:09 & 8:46 mas mahalaga pa ba talaga ung spelling kesa dun sa pambabastos na ginawa nila Kay Queen Pia.
DeleteEh kung ganyan ba naman asta ng magcocorrect sayo di ka ba maiinis? Inulit2 pa at may pa oks oks pa. So condescending.
DeletePwede namang mg correct by not being RUDE un ung point.
DeleteNag-o-auto spell kasi Kaya Columbia lumalabas.
Delete*colombia
DeleteGrabe naman sila 2016 na ganyan parin sana gayahin nila si ms.germany na humble. Realtalk mas deserving si ms.germany sa top 5 kesa kay ms colombia pero pinakadeserving manalo si pia
ReplyDeleteteh member din c ms germany n bitter girls. pero syempre ultimate sore loser c colombia.
DeleteOo nga marunong magpakumbaba si ms. Germany oo mali sya nung una pero tinanggap nya yun. Si ms.usa makacolombia rin pala post ng post sa colombia pati si china , myanmar at Malaysia.
DeleteHindi naman porket post ng post yung ibang candidate kay Colombia, ibig sabihin pabor na sila kay Colombia. Naging magkakasama din naman sila. Wag kayo bash ng bash lang.
DeleteAno raw? Humble daw si Germany? Halatang d updated si ateng. Nagfifeeling merong alam sa pageantry.
Delete@7:48,what if nabaligtad ang situation at kay pia nangyari yung kay ms.colombia? Mas malamang sa hindi ganyan din ang reaction ng mga pilipino.
Delete110 hindi gagawin yan ng pinoy . oo may bash na magaganap pero sure ako na hindi gagawin ng kahit sino magsunog ng ganyan.
DeleteDibale may ginawa naman na mga pinoy na paputok na goodbye colombia. Gagawa din ako ng video at post ko sa fb. Gawa ako ng dummy ni miss colombia at ididikit ko sa kanya paputok na goodbye colombia at sisindihan ko para sumabog tingnan natin ano mararamdaman ng mga talunan na colombians
DeletePinapakita nyo lang na masama din ugali nyo tulad ng colombia gayahin nyo nalang si ms.germany na humble lang.
Delete@1:10 umabot sa ganyan? Weh eh ilang beses na tayo ginanyan o nilamangan sa mga nakaraang away ni Pacman hanggang tweets lang naman kabiteran natin. Sa kanila mas malala.
DeleteSana pakitranslate salamat
ReplyDeleteit basically says: "There is no limit to Colombian creativity, even in the decoration of dolls for the Old Year"
Delete6:33 pakitagalog lol
DeleteIbash nayan
ReplyDeleteI agree. D pwedeng babuyin ba lang si Queen Pia
DeleteWag natin sila gayahin. Wag bumaba sa level nila. Tayo nakakaintindi ng english, sila hindi. Kaya nga hindi nila naintindihan na hindi miss u si colombia kundi 1st runnerup lang
DeleteMs U org should be the one acting on this.
DeleteI want to say mean things to them because of this but i choose not to because i feel that the language barrier keeps them from having a grasp of what really happened. Their understanding, i think, is that they have the crown but it was snatched away from them. ..I pity them instead.
ang sasama nang mga ugali!! why are they blaming pia?! eh hindi naman nya kasalanan yun!!!
ReplyDeletehayaan na naten sila ang diyos na ang bahala sa kanila kung di nila kaya rumespeto ang buong pilipinas marunong rumespeto
ReplyDeleteang mga bitterela ng taon
ReplyDeletemga kampon kayo ni SAT---- mga Colombians, wala kasalanan ang Pilipinas sa nangyari sa Miss U. you people are the lowest form of living things on Earth.
ReplyDeleteMga walang ka breeding-breeding. Ang bababaw talaga.
ReplyDeletePia was victimized as well. They should leave her out of it. Ill bred sore losers. Perez was right. These 'people' need a lesson in humility.
ReplyDeleteDeadma nasa atin naman korona lol
ReplyDeleteLike!
DeleteMiss universe has to do something about it because they promote world peace
ReplyDeleteBAN COLOMBIA FROM THE MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT!! QUE HORROR! U GUYS DONT KNOW HOW TO TAKE DEFEAT! MISS PHILIPPINES IS. AV U CTIM AS WELL! UNEDUCATED PEOPLE!
ReplyDeleteAyyy grabe sila oh! Di pala uso salitang move on sa Colombia
ReplyDeleteHOY !! ARROGANT PEOPLE! GOOD THING UR BET DID NOT WIN!
ReplyDeleteDahil sa pangyayaring ito, mas napatunayan na deserve nilang ma-olats.
ReplyDeleteDedmahin na lang. Sayang lang oras pag papatulan.
ReplyDeleteSugod mga kapatid!! Eto ang instagram username: noidertv
ReplyDeleteJust proves na pareho ka lang ng level ng Colombians.
DeleteHwag ng pumatol. Just prove to the world that Pinoys are classy.
Delete1:21 ikaw na lang kaya ibash ko bruha ka!
Delete3:34AM at ikaw naman, walang breeding. Palengkerang frog
DeleteAgree, 3:34 walang ka breeding2x.
DeleteSus. Pabayaan nyo na sila. Kahit anong gawin nila, they can't take away the fact na si Ms.PH ang Ms. U...
ReplyDeleteTrue!!!
DeleteBoom!
DeleteAng mahalaga kame nanalo...kay pia ang corona...kbye..
ReplyDeleteN-prove lang nila na losers talaga sila.
ReplyDeleteDedma na lng mga kapatid.hayaan natin ang ibang bansa na puro sa "looks" lng ngeeffort sa beauty pageants kya talunan cla.d nila alam kelangn rin ng utak.kita namn ng lhat sa top5 c pia lng ang may sense ang sgot.sa top3 c usa at pia lng.dpat nga 2nd runner up yng bobang colombian na yan!
ReplyDeletePathetic! Losers! Sama niyo Miss Universe Colombia ninyo. Nega sa mga interview. Just proves to show na hindi siya karapatdapat. Tama talaga si Perez Hilton.
ReplyDeleteyung ibang mainitin ang ulo please lang wag na patulan at magkalat sa instagram or fb ni ms columbia-they are sore losers-not worth wasting our time on them.
ReplyDeletetama! kung patulan pa niyo yan you'll just be stooping down to their level and proving wala kayong pinag-iba sa kanila.
DeleteLalo lang nilang ipinakita sa mundo kung paano sila tumanggap ng pagkatalo.
ReplyDeleteIka nga ng isang comment na nabasa ko, yung pagkakamali ni Steve set the bitches from the beauties.
Mas mabagal pa ata ang pag move on nila kaysa sa wifi namin ehh.
ReplyDeletewow!!sore loser talaga
ReplyDeleteColombians, uso naman yung MOVE ON! 2016 na kaya! Bitter pa rin kayo!! - bayaning puyat
ReplyDeletekaya nga nila sinunog nung New Year's Eve para mawala ng malas at swertihin sa New Year. Di mo gets bakit nila ginawa yun?
Deletepero bakit si steve at pia? edi sana ung nag represent ng country nalang nila ang sinunog nila since sya ung sumali at hindi nanalo.
Delete@ 1:18 mas kampi ka pa yata sa colombia ah. Tsk tsk!
DeleteAgree anon 1:18. It is a cultural thing sa kanila ang magsunog ng effigy para maalis ang malas. Eto na naman ang ibang mga pinoy. Pag sila mang ba bash, ok lang. Pag sila na ang tinamaan ang ego, napipikon. Dont get me wrong, i love pia, i believe she deserves to win pero guys, understand where they are coming from. Masakit at humiliating yung nangyari sa kanila.
DeleteThese Colombians think their women are God's gift to mankind. Oh please! If you compare the old and latest pictures of Ms Colombia, she obviously had surgery done to herself. Our country is even a lot better compared to their country. Their country is so poor and they are known for big time drug trafficking. They don't have a single right to abuse Pia for winning the Ms Universe crown because it was very clear since the beginning that Ms Colombia is just the first runner up. Shame on you, Colombians!
ReplyDeleteRetokada din si pia
DeleteHndi makaget-over ang mga talunan! Sunugin man nila kahit buong Ms. Universe org it won't change the FACT na talo sila!
ReplyDeleteKow aus lang yan tradition naman na nila yan no. Oa kau eh dito sa pinas panay din sunog nyo sa mga di nyo trip na personalities pulitiko
ReplyDeleteOo nga, hayaan nyo sila, lilipas din yan, wag nang magalit atin na ang korona
Delete@10:18, super agree ako sa comment mo.
DeleteAmpalaya pa more. Papak din ng humility pag may time.
ReplyDeletemga baks dapat mag set din tayo ng date magsusunog tayo ng flag ng colombia, si miss colombia, yung pics ng mga baks na colombian na nasa fb & videos....dahil una sa lahat biktima rin si pia dito, pangalawa parang tayo na ring mga pilipino ang sinunog nila....BAKIT SILA LANG BA MARUNONG MANUNOG?ggggggrrrr.....
ReplyDeleteYou can burn as many effigies you want but the fact remains that you're sore LOSERS.
ReplyDeleteTalaga ba ganyan ka supprtive ang mga Colombians sa miss universe o mga bandwagon sila. Madami pagkakataon na ang mga south americans ang nanalo pero parang wala ngayon lang talaga silang nagingay ng ganyan. Kahit kapag nanalo sila after one day back to normal ang lahat.
ReplyDeletePart yan ng moving on nila on a new year.. if dey want to move on on something, dey need burn it on new year..kaya ganun..culture daw.
ReplyDeleteI hope may bodyguard si Pia palagi.
ReplyDeleteLagyan ng korona si Miss Colombia...yung may letter L sa gitna. Sama nyong buena mano mga colombians!
ReplyDeletePlease patayin na natin at dedmahin ang issue. Wag ng patulan kasi patol begets patol. Eh ang nassira pa tayo mga pinoy at si pia.
ReplyDeleteKaya in the spirit of camaraderie and happiness let us all unite to stop the hate and just linamnam the feeling that the crown is OURS to savor.
ANG PILIPINO AY DI BASTOS KAHIT NA BINABASTOS NA. ang pinakita ni pia sa world, rather sa universe na pagiging humble ay tunay na ugaling pinoy!
Pakita natin sa kanila. ♥♥♥
Tama. Linamnamin na lang kesa pumatol pa. Love it!!!
DeletePara Happy new year!!
Kaanoano kya siya ni alfredo barraza ? Ang bitter ha ?
ReplyDeleteAnd because of this, no official international title for any Colombian candidates. They are high literally that they can't be reasonable anymore!
ReplyDeleteisinusumpa ko Colombia maghihintay kayo ng 100 taon bago kayo ulit makalasap ng korona sa Miss Universe tandaan nyo yaaaaaaan
DeleteMga badaf, attaaacckkk!!! Ang instagram ni becky ay noidertv. Paulanan niyo na ng message. Magkaisa tayo! Lahat tayo, isa lang ang ilagay: NOIDER BARRAZA, ERES LA GRAN BASURA DE COLOMBIA. LO QUE PUSISTE EN TU INSTAGRAM ES UNA REFLECCIÓN DE TU MALA EDUCACIÓN QUE VA A AFECTAR TANTO LOS COLOMBIANOS EN GENERAL. ERES LA MARICA MÁS PEOR DE TODA AMERICA LATINA, QUE EN PAZ DESCANSES, MARICA.
ReplyDeletePaki-post sa IG ni bakla....magkaisa tayo. Go!!! Hanggang marindi na sya.
what do you expect from a country infested with drugs n druglords---unbalanced, high or low lang ang peg hahaha!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is sooo immature! Now i know why these colombians almost always end up as first runner ups! They always fail at the Q&A because they lack intelligence! Geez!
ReplyDeletethis country has low IQ--no comparison sa mga PINOY---puro enhancements naman ang mga sumasali sa kanilang beauty contests....
ReplyDeleteSana i ban sila sa miss universe
ReplyDeleteMiski effigy maganda pa rin si Pia.
ReplyDeleteShows how uneducated those people who did this. It wasn't Pia's fault that Steve Harvey announced the wrong winner. I feel bad for her. She was robbed off her moment and these ill mannered Colombians think that she stole it from their candidate. Pathetic. Ma ban sana Colombia since the country does not exude world peace and sportsmanship
ReplyDeleteBad sportsmanship. Dehado nga su Pia kasi di nya na savor yong moment, hindi manlang nakapaglakad.
ReplyDeletehay naku---your citizens showed totally sore losers---move on---PIA won and that's the BOTTOMLINE LOL!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBecause truth is some countries are just lauging at us. Yes inside our country we are proud to win a lot of sports but to some countries we are just 3rd world nothing. English yes we can speak but some countries do not care, all they see is a 3rd world country. Papatol kayo lalao mababa tingin nila sa atin. Even in the states they consider Filipinos as minority. Akala nyo wala ng prejudism? Di lang pinapahalata ng iba yan. Some of them does not even know our country. May mga bading pa ang aarte dito sa states kasi may mga degree daw sila blah blah Gucci bag mayayaman and all pero pag pila sa counter inuna ang mga puti. That is the reality!
ReplyDeleteWhen I say puti I mean mga American.
ReplyDeleteCOLOMBIANS should be taught about how SPORTMANSHIP works. tsskkkk
ReplyDeleteTitigil din yang mga yan pag di pinatulan.
ReplyDeletefrom the biggest producer of coke in the world......i am ariadna from sincelejo Colombiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
ReplyDeleteAs a native Colombian I wonder how Stella Marquez Araneta react to the Miss U brouhaha and this burning of effigies.
ReplyDeleteYang mga latino na yan feeling nila mga dyos at dyosa sila. Feeling nila ang gaganda nila!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely disgusting. Tsk tsk.
ReplyDeleteDapat i ban ang Colombia sa ms universe pageant next year. Mga bastos
ReplyDeleteAT biglang naka privatebang Instagram ni Noider...pués nga badaf, hanapin ang Facebook ni gagita: Noider Almanza Barraza, makikita nyo pics nya dun. Noider Almanza lng nakalagay nyang name sa FB. Turuan ng lección yan, i-post nyo yung nilagay ni 12:52AM na Spanish sa FB wall nya. Paulanan niyo na mga bading. Magkaisa tayo para matuto sila na ang mga Pinoy ang internet superpower....attack, hanggang isara na nya ang FB nya...attackkkk!!!
ReplyDeletegrabe naman itong columbians akala mo iyong pagwagi ng korona of miss universe is bet. life & death sila nga ang dapat sunugin dahil maraming kinabukasan ang sinisira nila dahil sa drugs at hindi ba pyedeng magkamali ang tao?kaya nga tao dahil hindi sita perpekyo but by the Grace of God man can be perfect "to err is human, to forgive is divine"
ReplyDeletegrabe naman itong columbians akala mo ang pagkapanalo ng miss universe is bet. life & death di ba puedeng magkamali ang tao?kaya nga tao lang dahil di perpekto; "to err is human,to forgive is divine...ANG COLUMBIANS ANG DAPAT SUNUGIN DAHIL MARAMING KINABUKASAN ANG SINISIRA NILA DAHIL SA DRUGS
ReplyDeleteDisgusting. They should be penalized for this! A one year ban from Miss U! Di naman kayo nadaya noh! Excuse me!!! Ang babaw kaya ng sagot ni Ms colombia! For me it was a battle between philippines vs USA! Smh High yang mga yan!! Che!
