MARCO Gumabao has his sister’s back even if she was unable to clinch the crown during the recently concluded Miss Universe Philippines pageant.
“Proud of you! Of course, I don’t agree with the decision, but now’s not the time to be bitter about it. I know this is God’s plan. We’re just getting started,” he wrote on Instagram.
Gumabao finished as the second runner-up and was given the Miss MG Philippines special award during the preliminaries.
In her own post after the competition, Gumabao expressed her gratitude to everyone who supported her journey.
“To all my Michelin stars, thank you for being with me on this journey! I love each and everyone of you! Thank you for all your support! Til the very end Laban!” she said.
Gumabao also clarified she has no problem with accepting defeat but she cannot accept all the questions she was getting about it.
“I can handle defeat hahahaha I can’t handle the people asking me why why why…I’m sharing this with you because you deserve to know my side, we don’t need to defend to anyone. I did my very best and I have no regrets,” she added.
Gumabao first entered the pageant scene in 2018 via Binibining Pilipinas, the former holder of the Miss Universe franchise. She was part of the winning batch that included Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray and Miss Intercontinental 2018 Karen Gallman.(ABS-CBN)
