He leaned into controversy so much.
This is such a weird "interview" if I can even call it that.

Abunda interrogated/GRILLED Bea better than he can ever grill politicians.

He threw me off when he was trying to catch Bea regarding the ties of politicians with the flood control projects. Bea is working within the system. It's like when people are challenging capitalism. You cannot just detach yourself to the system when the system is capital driven. That doesn't mean we can't challenge or question power.

The Miss Universe competition like many beauty pageants started with problematic history but eventually it became a platform. As Bea would say, "a cultural institution."

I'm just so happy and thrilled that Bea was so smart and so eloquent. She was able to handle that without intense training.

I can say it was also great that Bea was exposed to the like of Boy. But damn, Boy was not being "contructive". He was being controversial. He had an agenda. He wanted to catch Bea especially with the political questions. I don't feel scared for Bea because I know Bea is smart. But damn, he didn't even gave her a breather.

Nahahalata ko where Boy's sides with talaga noh. He seems to be more siding with those being questioned (corrupt politicians).

Parang di man lang nahighlight kung sino si Bea. Di man lang niya nacongratulate si Bea.

This interview was so off. I never liked Boy honestly. Super raunchy ng interveiw na ito.

Lalo na yung last question regarding if Bea found some random dude cute like WHAT???

nakakahiya lol

I feel like kapuna puna talaga yung production. We can't settle for mediocre excuse na kahit naman magaganda yugn production ng iba, tayo naman nakakapanalo ng crown. Like damn.

Ewan ko they get good money pero can't they get better directors, producers, lighting, music. I mean that pageants was not world class at all.

I even read na one of the directors did ASAP and Deal or No Deal. Kaya pala.

I want your thoughts on this kasi parati na lang napapalampas ito. UGHH so frustrating. at nakakahiya anduon pa sila papa nawat jusko. Laki laki ng fees tapos daming mga major sponsor pero di pa maayos basics like AUDIO, LIGHTING.

The stage design was tacky compared to our neighboring sister countries. Basic sounds and lights were malfunctioning if not glaring. MUSIC was so tacky like halatang AI. For the whole year di ba nila kayang mag hire ng orchestra to make better MUPH sounds. Jusko ang Thailand every single detail take to account. EVERY DETAIL ng production.

Sorry pero yung bashing na nakuha ng BBP during MJLastimosa's Flower gown, should be the same energy that production should be getting kasi di sila natututo. At least, now grabe tayo sa design ng mga damit. Please sana they heed criticism. Siguro naman kita nila ang production ng IMG, MGI at MUT. MUPH Team please we want better.

Just to add: CINEMATOGRAPHY OMAYGHAD AWKWARD NG MGA CAMERA ANGLES HUHU
It's like they love the glitz and the glam pero they seem to fail at it.

Yung Bouquet lang yung nabet ko btw and the crown of course. Super stunning yung bouquet this year.
