If President Rodrigo Duterte gets his way, Steve Harvey won't be hosting Miss Universe 2016.
According to Tourism Secretary Wanda Teo, Duterte expressed disapproval when he was told Harvey would be hosting given his contract with the Miss Universe Organization.
"When I told the President about that, negative agad. Ang sabi niya, 'Hindi puwede!'" said Teo on Thursday, September 1, during a press conference at Malacañang Palace.
(When I told the President about that, he gave a negative response. He said, "That can't be!")
Duterte might even raise the issue with the Miss Universe Organization himself.
"That's what he told me: 'I'm going to talk to Miss Universe because I don't want him to be the host of the Miss Universe,'" related Teo.
The Tourism Secretary, who championed the Philippines' hosting of the pageant, said she would tell the Miss Universe Organization about the President's concerns.
"Yes of course, I will tell them," she told reporters.
But because of Harvey's 5-year contract to host the pageant, it's possible he will still host the event despite Duterte's misgivings. If so, Teo would find a way to appease the President.
"Siguro that is what I'm going to do para hindi talaga magagalit ang president, siguro maglalagay ako ng girl from the Philippines [who] will co-host," she said, adding the co-host might be from the media.
(Maybe that's what I'm going to do so that the President won't get mad, maybe I will choose a girl from the Philippines who will co-host.)
Harvey, when he hosted Miss Universe 2015, infamously misread the name of the first placer, making the audience think it was Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez who won the crown. His mistake, many pageant-watchers said, ruined the moment of the real winner, Miss Philippines and now Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach.
Teo said Miss Universe 2016 will take place on January 30, 2017, but candidates will start arriving in the country on January 13.
The Department of Tourism has identified Metro Manila as the venue for the main events while "ancillary" events will be held in Davao City, Cebu City, Iloilo City, and Vigan City. – Rappler.com

DeleteEh bakit naman kasi si Steve ang magho-host eh dahil sa kanya kung ano anong pambabash ginawa kay Pia ng mga Colombians. Syempre ayoko rin na si Steve pa mag-host no dahil nakakahiya ginawa niya.

ReplyDeleteShowbiz talaga ang poon. Pati ba naman yan papakialaman? An dami trabaho ninyo poon wag ninyo na pagtuunan ng pansin yan.
ReplyDeleteMismo, lahat na lang ng issues na kababawan for a supposed President pinapatulan. Yung problema ngayun sa pagbagsak ng stock market ang dapat nyang harapin, pero dedma lang this *%# President.
DeletePati ba naman Ms Universe pinakikialaman pa ng matandang ito? Kaloka ka!
Deleteyun kasi uso ngayon, lahat binibigyan ng opinion, netizen man o presidente, tumatanda tayong paurong, mga values gaya ng respeto nakalimutan na, inabuso na ang silbi ng social media.
DeletePaano mo respetuhin ang taong walang ginawa twing mag sasalita laging galit, nag mumura, or nag hahamon ng patayan? Tapos, kinabukasan pag nahimasmasan, sabihin joke lang, or sinisiraan siya ng media.
DeleteBaka pati susuotin ni Pia pakikialaman pa nya.
DeleteHumingi na siya ng emergency power para di matuloy pag host
ReplyDeleteEh di wag na ring ituloy dyan sa Pinas ang event. Daming arte, tse!!!
DeleteMy gawd. Pati ba naman Miss Universe, papakialaman pa!

ReplyDeleteSana si GINGER CONEJERO...Ang galing pala nya at hindi hirap mag-english.
DeleteI'd go for KC.
Deleteiza calzado will be perfect. she looks like a beauty queen herself because she is tall, sexy and articulate.
DeleteWag na sana nyang gawan nang issue ang miss u 2016 kasi my mga latino nang naninira sa gaganaping event thru tabloids sinasabi na hindi na matutuloy ang pageant kasi nagpull out mga sponsors which i dont think so kasi napanood ko lng kahapon sa tv patrol na ready na ang yacht at plane na gagamitin ng mga contestants.
ReplyDeleteOo saw the newspaper on ig mga colombian yan malamang bitter pa din at ginagawa lahat para siraan at discredit ang pinas sa paghohost ng event.
DeleteButi pang huwag na lang matuloy ang Ms Universe dito, baka mapahiya pa buong Pinas sa asal ng presidente. Mahirap intindihin ang mood swings niya.
DeleteTama ka dyan 6:06, puro kahihiyan na lang inaabot natin kagagawan ni tandang Digong.
DeleteSteve has a contract with Miss Universe for the next few years. He won't be removed. They'll move the venue to another country or maybe keep it in the US. End of story.
ReplyDeletebetter...
DeleteI'm a regular FAMILY FEUD (USA) viewer. Steve is such a good host. Marami syang programs sa TV, radio, & outside showbiz & he mostly owns them. Philanthropist sya, donor, fundraiser, businessman, etc. Millionaire sya at hindi na nya kailangang ipagpilitan ang sarili nya sa umaayaw sa kanya. I have watched him several times here in US expressing his high regards & admiration to us filipinos that's why a lot of us love him.
ReplyDeleteTrue! Napaka-generous nya, million dollars ang ipinamimigay nya sa charities. Wala syang kaere-ere. Hindi rin sya judgmental & prejudiced kaya all kinds of race ay niri-respect sya. Pag nagkakamali sya, agad syang nagso-sorry which he did in last year's Miss U pageant. Walang-wala si du30 sa kalingkingan nya pagdating sa manners, noh?
DeleteAt wala daw syang balak maging diktador. Smh.
ReplyDeleteYung pagkakamali nya sa Miss U hosting, he owned it right away. Nagpakumbaba sya, & that is very rare to see from a rich & famous american celebrity like him. WHO AR E WE TO JUDGE?
ReplyDeleteBaka naman nagjojo-joke lang si tatay D. Sayang naman kung hindi si Steve ang magho-host sa Miss U. It's an honor for us Filipinos na makarating ang isang super sikat na host na ina-admire ng lahat sa buong mundo.
ReplyDeleteSteve Harvey is a funny guy lalo na sa Family Feud game show nya. Nakakatawa syang panoorin. Dun siguro kumukuha ng hosting style & tips si LUIS, hehehe
ReplyDeleteDapat yung mga naunang miss universe winner or runner up and co-hosts. Gloria diaz, margie moran or charlene gonzales.
ReplyDeleteone of the reasons why philippines remain a third-world country. the most natural resource, its people, is not progressive. too proud but socially stagnant.
ReplyDeleteAng laki ng problema ng presidenteng ito. Ang daming ayaw, akala mo sa kanya lang umiikot ang mundo.
ReplyDeleteOpinyon niya iyon. Parang ikaw puro kontra.
Deletehe's enjoying the power na bigla nyang nakuha. too much, at that. lahat pinakialaman. lahat gusto nya sumunod sa gusto nya. i think that's a sign of an unhealthy state of mind. he's not ready and not worthy for these responsibilities i think.
Deletekung bawal mag-share ng opinyon dito, sorry na.
12:48 overwhelmed si prez. Sanay Lang kasi sa probinsya.
