    1. let’s be clear. wag bitter. everybody knows na mas specific at mas may depth yung speech ni miss venezuela kesa sa philipoines. It’s not just using her bday. you have to be fair.

    2. Congrats Miss Philippines

    3. sa speech ba yan? maganda din nman kay ahtisa ah tsaka sya pinakamaganda dun

    4. Anon 12:41, clearly Venezuela is the winner. Don’t bet on a candidate just because she is your countryman. That is sick and is displaced loyalty.

      Delete
    5. Yes! That tranny looking venezuelan did not deserve her crown. It was really ahtisa who was the clear winner but the MIorg probably did not want to crown another asian kasi naman pinanalo nila yung chakang indonesian na copycat ni Kylie ang styling pati gestures eh di sana okay lang koronahan si Ahtisa. Bwisit talaga! And yeah, CROWNING SOMEBODY JUST BECAUSE IT WAS HER BIRTHDAY IS THE MOST STUPID AND CHILDISH DECISION EVER!

    6. Wag tayo maglokohan.. Bday girl Venezuela is not deserving at all!

    2. crab mentality :( kabayan talagang me mga Pilipinong kayang-kaya umangat sa ibang lahi...khit pa sa kapwa Pinoy. Di mo maiintindihan yan kung hanggang talampakan lang ang pang-unawa mo.

      Delete
    3. Hindi ko talaga maintindihan kong bakit may mga Pilipino o tao na kahit positive news ay meron at meron pa ring NEGATIVE comments. Ano kayang klaseng upbringing ang isang taong NEGATRON?

  5. she looks so foreign. It is a shame to call her Ms Phils.

    3. Mas fluent pa nga siya kay Catriona sa pananagalog

    4. Aw c’mon! Global na ang Pinoy. Try to catch up and find good in things worth celebrating!

    5. At pag nakita m mga kapatid nya. Puro mukhang pinoy.

    7. Ok lang galing niya magtagalog at bisaya kesa catriona na tagal na sa pinas di kayang magsalita ng sentences..

    8. There is no pure blooded Filipina. Didn’t you learn in your History class that the Philippines is a melting pot of different cutlures?

      Delete
    9. 12:12, don’t be rediculous. Filipinos are of Malay race, not European.

    10. @12:12, look around you. Pinoys are Malays, not whites.

    3. Nope.. Pure blooded filipina doesn't look like her. Gallman is her last name. So obviously not

      Delete
    4. Some comments here are just sad. My child is also a product of two races and is no less a Filipino than those who are “puro”. Many do their country and their kapwa Pinoys ill, even if it is only by an act of finding fault imbes mag “Thank You” na lang sana for having done our country proud. Does it really lift you up to tear others down?

      Delete
    5. Anon 2:08. Case to case basis yan. Minsan kasi nakakakinis kasi they don’t know anything about our culture tapos pupunta sa Pilipinas to join a pageant or become artista because they know they have the advantage over normal Pinoys. Or they can’t win in their home country. If you’re raising your kid to be aware sa Pinoy culture. Then good job!

    6. @2:26, kasalanan un ng mga pinoy na mahilig sa mga foreigner. kung di sila tatangkilikin ng mga pinoy, walang market para sa kanila. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

      Delete
    7. 2:26 then karen isn't the right one to bash. Back and forth sya dito. Shes very fluent in tagalog and bisaya. Ikaw? Baka tagalog lang alam mo. Mas pinoy pa sya sayo.

      Delete
    8. Kapitbahay ko dito sa U.S. mukhang Filipino mula ulo hanggang paa sobrang deny na Filipino, Spanish at Chinese sila na migrate from Philippines. Dun na ako sa maski walang bahid ng pagpaka-pinoy pero proud and identifies themselves as Filipino...sabi nga sa sa ating panatang maka-bayan sa Isip, sa Salita, at sa Gawa.

      Delete
    9. 2:26 anong masama kong piliin nilang i-represent ang Philippines kong dual citizen sila at qualified naman. Karapatan nila iyon. If you have a dream and you want to chase for it, walang karapatan ang isang taong tulad mo para husgahan sila. Parang OFW lng iyan na may pangarap, they use their skills and talents abroad instead of here in the Philippines.

      Delete
    10. FYI wala na pong pure blooded pinoy. Lahat tayo at some point ay mixed na. Hindi dahil half ay hindi na pinoy. At dahil wala ng ibang maipintas ang mga basher, irereason nalang na puro mix at may mga lahi nalang yung rep natin

      Delete
  11. I know this is racist pero, nagpunta lang ba siya sa Pilipinas para sumali sa pageant? Haha!

    1. She grew up in Bohol, born and raised. She speaks Bisaya. Can you??

    2. Laking Bohol po sya. Sa Britain lang sya nag aral ng college pero laking Pinas yan.

    3. NOPE. Mas may alam pa yan kesa kay Cat or Katarina

    4. hindi ah. fluent yan sa bisaya

    5. Nope. Dito siya naghighschool. Classmate siya ng pinsan ko sa Olivarez College.

    6. Parang mga pinoy lang na sumasali sa mga iba't ibang ___'s Got Talent shows.

    7. No she didn't. she spent a lot of her childhood years up in a small coastal town (Ubay) in Bohol. She speaks Bisaya and Tagalog fluently.

      Delete
    8. Malakas kasi ang “sash factor” ng Pilipinas sa pageantry kaya maraming galing at laking ibang bansa ang gusto maging Ms. Philippines.
      Hindi tuloy natin malaman kung sincere ba sila talaga sa pagrepresent ng bansa or if it’s for their own personal gain.

      Delete
    9. Nope. Kasi dito siya lumaki. Laking bohol.

    10. Anon 10;50 you are overthinking things.

    11. Compared to Catriona, Karen was born and raised here naman.

  12. We are winning left and right with these beauty pageants but they dont look like Filipinas at all. I am happy Philippines name is up there but really?? These are not the faces of real Pinay beauty. With all the cliche people claim that theyre filipinos by heart and they have some filipino blood in them is not enough to say you represent the Philippines. You should have walked and lived the life of Pinoys before you can claim that. We have been so whitewashed with the standards of beauty. Hers is not the face you would see along the busy streets of Manila. Spray tan her but her foreign features stand out the most.

    1. Nakakahiya naman kay catriona who worked with the poor children in tondo, tigilan mo yang pagmamaasim mo. Baka nga ikaw hindi ka tatapak dun.

    2. Walang sense sinabi mo. What is the "real" Pinay look supposed to look like? Philippines has been colonized by Spanish. Nahaluan ng blood ng Chinese, Japanese, at minsan naging US territory at marami nag OFW, umuwi at blessed with a biracial child. Learn your history, if you truly want this so-called real Pinoy, this should only be for Aetas and other tribe(s) who has not encountered and cross blood with foreign citizen, then?

    pero ang cheapepay nung corona.. naubosan ng budget sa design?

  14. Sa mga bitter dito at kuda lang ng kuda, she was born and raised in the Bohol. So kahit half Filipino lang siya, I think that makes her a Filipina noh? Why can’t y’all just be happy for other people and be proud and accepting of the fact na we’re all mixed race? Same lang yan sa America, iba iba na din lahi. Not all their candidates are bond and blue eyed and if they were, that doesn’t make them native Americans!

    1. How come the Aussie accent is so thick?

    2. 2:31, her Aussia accent is as thick as her Bisaya accent. Her Bisaya is straight up legit. She’s from Bohol. Period.

  20. Bakit pag Hollywood star na may konting patak pagka Pinoy bilis maki “proudly Pinoy” pero mga ganito mabilis rin ilaglag? So di nga pure Filipino - pero surely there were other things in the criteria that earned her the crown. Napaka sweeping ng comments ng mga maka pintas. Sana di tayo ganoon.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Ok kasi Catriona and Karen dont represent the general looking pinays na mga mukhang chinses, korean, malaysianand indonesian yung beauty population nila is small, not we can see anywhere most of them here working in showbusiness and modeling and not what most filipinos do for a living as much as i want to win the general looking pinays sila kasi mostly nagexcel sa swimsuit, evening, qa sa national pageant competition. of course regardless how pinay looking they are the best girls should get the rights to represent us

    1. Yup. Ganyan talaga. They may have some “advantages” but that’s what life deals us all. Sana lang we stop with tearing others down.

  22. What are the pinoys concept of a pure pinoy im pure pinoy so with my son's wife but my granddaughter has very fair skin grey eyes and brown hair so she's not pure pinoy?

  23. Tigilan niyo nga ang pambabash sa mga halfies na nagrerepresent sa atin. For sure proud kayo sa mga Hollywood celebrities and artists kahit 1/8 lang ang dugong Pinoy. Ipokrito 'tong mga 'to.

    1. Meh, those Hollywood celebs dont represent the Philippines. They represent themselves as artists only, not the Philippines. Being Miss Philippines is representing the country. Gets mo.

  25. Sa Paraรฑaque yan nag highschool sa Olivarez College. Paano ko nalaman? She was my schoolmate before. Nanalo na yan sa school pageant at talagang may dating na siya even before. Pabalik balik kasi siya ng Australia which explains her thick Aussie accent.
