Dissension

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 via an interpreter rather than in English. “Because when you think about a Cebuana, they can scarcely speak English and, of course, Tagalog,” she remarked one more. Perhaps she should respond in Bisaya.” Cebuanos were outraged by her statement, 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, found no flaw in herself and instead explained, adding, “Let me clear it once and for all.” People should have the freedom to express or respond to (questions) in whatever language they choose. They can say that in Cebuano if they’re Cebuanos. I didn’t claim they couldn’t communicate in English. Say that in Ilocano if you’re Ilocano. However, if you’re an Ilocano with decent English, 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.
