Praising women now by saying "Magandang Bilat"

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Did you see that? A powerful and daring entrance coming form Miss Iloilo City, Rabiya Mateo. She indeed deserve the best in swimsuit award! Crown this very elegant lady now. But wait.... there's more "Magandang Bilat" coming out to greet us.

"Magandang Bilat" is one of the hottest trending topic now in the Philippines with currently over 9,508 tweets.

Now also in the Philippines, we don’t tell girls “You’re so pretty”, instead we say “Magandang bilat, puso ko’y nahalina” and I think that’s beautiful! Lol!

Again, in the Philippines, instead of saying "I love you" we say "Magandang Bilat" which directly translates to "You glow just like a full moon" and I think that's beautiful!

Are you also one of us who can't unheard the words "Magandang Bilat?" “Oh Magandang bilat” be playing on my mind non-stop!

Imagine mishearing the lyrics while on stage trying to look your best when you're from Davao city and you know exactly how meaningful bilat is.

I know it said Magandang dilag, but the ok se horny peeps like us hear otherwise.

Filo moots, please tell me I understood it correctly. Magandang Bilat means beautiful vagina, right?! i should've said "pretty pussy" cuz it sounds more... poetic??

Feeling ko yung Magandang Bilat magkakaroon na ng dance step sa Tiktok soon.

From now on, oomfs, Always remember that you’re a magandang bilat and don’t let pangit na betlogs tell you otherwise.

It was the background music during the Miss Universe Philippines (MUP) 2020 swimsuit competition portion. It's actually "Magandang Dilag" but you can also hear bilat instead. No offense but the song was catchy and nice to hear.

Women Empowerment in a nutshell:

Yes to Magandang Bilat

No to Bahog Bilat

Gosh! I can't stand to this. It's a mean word in our Cebuano culture. Cebuanos do not say that word as much as we do in English or Tagalog. Hahaha!

Miss Taguig Sandra Lemonon is not making lemonade but spilling the tea for Miss Universe Philippines 2020

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"When life gives you lemons, spill the tea!"

May pa-tsaa si Sandra Lemonon. "Guuurrl, if you're not watching untucked, you're only getting half the story."

Seeing Miss Taguig Sandra Lemonon's mystory in Instagram makes people say that she's a sour loser and doesn't accept the fact that she lost. Should she get over it and move on, or continue to spill the tea? Whatever she does, we'll support her right to do it.

I have nothing against Rabiya Mateo winning but why are y'all cancelling Sandra Lemonon already? Don't you wanna know the truth? You seem to be very afraid of the tea she's gonna spill. Let's wait for it. After all, we deserve to know what really happened.

Ya'll keep telling people to fight and use their voices when injustices happen but you also dismiss Sandra Lemonon and call her a "sour loser" the moment she tells her side. Let her speak for something she experienced firsthand.

If Sandra has something to share about unfairness that happened at the Miss Universe Philippines, then she is entitled to do so. A phenomenal woman is someone who can voice out her opinions about injustices. Also, wala pa nga sinasabi binabash na?

Why didn't she speak out right from the start? Hinintay muna matapos bago tumahol? Indeed, the crown wont fit her and will never be. Spreading bitterness through social media? Instead raising her opinion and issue towards management.

Sandra lost twice to catriona pero hindi siya nagsalita about it she accepted it but this time I think she's not bitter or salty she just want to speak not only for herself but to all the contestant.

She is a Mental Health advocate and it's normal to seek justice. I'm not taking anyone's side but at least let's hear her out rather than silencing her.

May rumors na may glam team daw si Miss Rabiya and it's unfair. Pero let's say na may glam team sila lahat pero panget naman performance. Mananalo ba sila?

Sandra isn't my bet but she is a performer. By spilling tea doesnt mean, that one is bitter. Someone has to speak up if she felt injustice because thats what she felt and she was the one who's there.

Does Gumabao and Lemonon unfollowing Rabiya mean something?

Sandra Lemonon just replied to the IG story of Bininibing Pilipinas Universe 2011 Shamcey Supsup-Lee...and the developments seem to be very ugly.

We really don't know what's the truth. What if may something nga??

Lets see tomorrow as the tweet exchange continues. Its hard to accept defeat if the game isnt fair at all. Lets wait.

When there's injustice, then fight for what is right. Speaking up against injustices only shows that she's a real queen.

Now look at Miss Biliran's tweet before she deactivated her Twitter account

Controversies in beauty pageants are nothing new. There are several issues throughout the years across the different pageants both local and international where involvement could either be among the sponsors and the candidates themselves. In fact, not all issues get a chance to be picked up by the media since many would just set it aside for personal reasons.

Until we get a clearer explanation from Sandra, we will still be guessing what really transpired behind the glamorous stage of Miss Universe Philippines 2020.
