Controversy

Venus Raj, the fourth runner-up in the Binibining Pilipinas competition, was congratulated by Diaz. Raj and other Filipinas, according to Diaz, would benefit from answering pageant questions through an interpreter rather than in English. “Because when you think about a Cebuana, you can hardly speak English and of course Tagalog,” she emphasized once more. Perhaps she should respond in Bisaya.” Cebuanos were outraged by her remark, believing that Daz had disrespected their English skills.

Gwendolyn Garcia, the governor of Cebu, and Rachel del Mar, a congresswoman, have both requested her to apologize. Gloria, being Gloria, saw no flaw in herself and instead clarified, stating, “Let me clarify it once and for all.” People should have the freedom to say or respond to (questions) in any language they choose.

They can say that in Cebuano if they’re Cebuanos. I didn’t claim they couldn’t communicate in English. Say it in Ilocano if you’re Ilocano. If you’re an Ilocano with good English, though, say it in English. If you’re a Cebuano who speaks Spanish and is at ease with it, say it in Spanish. That’s exactly what I said, and it’s exactly what I meant.
