AS RABIYA Mateo settled for a top 21 finish at the 69th Miss Universe pageant on Monday, a supposed statement from actress Liza Soberano ensuring a crown for the Philippines next year went viral on Facebook.
But were those words actually from the Kapamilya star?
“Pag si Rabiya talaga ‘di maiuwi ang crown, ako talaga sasali next year!” went one post from the Facebook page “Liza Soberano.”
“Bawi tayo next year! Ako bahala,” another post from the same page declared.
Soberano, however, disowned the entire Facebook page.
Sharing screenshots of the viral Facebook posts, Soberano wrote on Instagram Stories: “Hello, everyone! Just dropping by to say that I do not have a Facebook account. This account has been posing as me and has been making very questionable and detrimental statements.”
Addressing outpouring of support for her as a prospective beauty queen, Soberano told her followers that she has no plans of entering pageantry, as she has mentioned repeatedly in the past.(ABS-CBN News)
