Maxine Medina drew lots of ire from people, especially her critics, when she refused to have a translator for the Question and Answer portion of Miss Universe 2016. When she finally answered the question posed to her on the coronation day itself, people were unforgiving-- for many, her answer didn't make sense and were of the opinion that she should've stuck with an interpreter instead.
Steve Harvey asked: What is the most significant change you've seen in the world in the last 10 years? To which Maxine answered: In the last 10 years of being here in the world, I saw all the people [brought] in one event like this in Miss Universe. It’s something big to us that we are one. As one nation, we are all together. Thank you. Maraming salamat po.
Many people, especially the Filipinos, criticized her for giving such a vague and unsubstantial answer. The beauty queen told her bashers that they should just "move on" because the event has already happened. She was able to reach the Top 6 of the pageant.
Vice Ganda, meanwhile, gave what should've been Maxine's answer to the question. According to ABS-CBN Entertainment, the comedienne-host appeared in 'Tonight with Boy Abunda' and began with, "I will try to answer that in Tagalog" with a laugh.
He continued, "Kunwari may interpreter talaga... Naniniwala po ako na ang pinakamalaking pagbabago na kinaharap ng mundo..." then Boy proceeded to translate it, saying "The biggest change that happened in the world..."
Vice continued, "Nung nakalipas 'yung sampung taon at kinakaharap pa rin ng mundo ngayon, sa kasalukuyan..." then Boy translated it again, saying, "That happened in the last ten years and the world continues to face until this very moment..."
"Ay ang pagbabago mismo sa ating mga sarili," Vice proceeded. "Dahil sa ating labis labis na pagkamuhaling sa social media."
The whole audience clapped and cheered with his answer and the comedienne continued saying, "Dahil sa ating labis labis na pagkamuhaling sa social media ay nagagamit natin ito upang abusuhin ang ating kalayaan nang sa ganon ay mapagpalaganap ng muhi sa bawat isa."
