Miss Universe 2017 And The Filipino Pageant Fans Outbursts

Pageant Comments By: Tenten and Latlat

When Miss Universe Organizations announce the live telecast judge, one of the judges is our very own Miss Universe 2015, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, some were ecstatic but there are few who are formulating opinions, conclusions of what will happen, weeks before finals night. Are these people some sort Nostradamus of pageantry? Do they have powers and psychic ability? How will they know the outcome of an event when it wasn’t staged yet?

If your sagacity or reasonableness prevails, you know that it always depends on how Miss Philippines will perform during the finals night, just “IF” she made it to the top16. With the new format of dividing it by continent, there is no certainty of who will make the cut. But it is with certainty that Pia Wurtzbach sitting at the judging table will receive displeasing outcry either from the neighboring Asian countries (Thailand and Indonesia) or from her fellow Filipinos whatever the result will be.

Pia Wurtzbach Statement On PDEA And The Irresponsible Philippine Journalism

Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach statement from her Instagram post

Universe, listen to this. A few days ago a drug bust happened in a high scale hotel in Manila Philippines involving 11 supposedly gay men. Two of them were suspected of selling/distributing drugs. During the operation, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) found out that one of of them was HIV positive. PDEA and local news outlets decided to expose the identities of these men to the media. Their mugshots, names, and the HIV status of one of them were released. Was this really necessary? I understand that what the men were supposedly doing was illegal and they should face legal consequences. But there was absolutely no need to expose and publicly shame them. It’s illegal to publicly announce one’s HIV status (RA8504). What has been done has not only traumatized the men that were involved; it has also worsened the HIV situation in the Philippines. We’re working so hard in educating the people properly on HIV/AIDS, on taking away the stigma. Because of what PDEA and the news outlet have done, some people are now associating drugs and immorality with being gay. It’s ridiculous. The whole point of this drug raid was to arrest the men for their supposed crime, which was selling/distributing and using illegal narcotics. Being gay is not a crime! Living with HIV is not a punishment! Come on, Philippines. We are already taking small steps forward to improve acceptance, tolerance and understanding. We cannot take big steps back. To PDEA and the news outlets, take steps to mend the situation. Sa aking mga kababayan, wag po tayo maging judgmental. Hindi immoral ang maging bakla, hindi dapat ituring na kaparusahan ang HIV. At lalong hindi ito biro na dapat pag-pyestahan at pagtawanan. To my beloved LGBT community, stay strong. We’ll win this.
