Pia - Catriona Gray: Rumored compatriot sisters, who are popular with Vietnamese fans, who are hated

Although both Pia Wurtzbach and Catriona Gray are the two pride of the Philippines this decade for being crowned Miss Universe together, perhaps, each beauty has a different influence!

Referring to Filipinos, there is one fact about them that has been recognized around the world: Outstanding when competing in the international beauty arena. In major competitions alone, the Philippines has a total of 15 titles. In particular, the last two Universe crowns are those of Pia Wurtzbach in 2015, and Catriona Gray in 2018. Because they were crowned at the same contest, the fact that 2 beauties are often compared is extremely understandable.

Is there "underground" competition?

Pia Wurtzbach was the Filipino beauty crowned at Miss Universe 2015 - a pageant associated with the scandal of giving the wrong crown.

At that time, Pia's victory made the Filipino people extremely proud. She is the "goddess" in the hearts of the home audience, immediately becoming the No. 1 entertainment star and advertising face in the "country of a thousand islands".

However, after that, Pia became entangled in bad rumors related to fellow countrymen fighting in Miss Universe. Because of this, the Filipino audience began to turn away from this beauty.

Specifically, before Catriona Gray left for MU 2018, Pia was accused of protesting against the Philippines winning that year's competition. Rumors on social media claim that she does not want any Filipino beauty to surpass her achievements because of the impact on her personal reputation. Despite denying it, the queen's image was affected by false rumors.

It is also because of the above rumor that after Catriona Gray won, fans of the 2 queens successively attacked each other, even comparing each other little by little.

I remember the moment Pia was crowned, tens of thousands of fans shrieked from the windows of their high-rise offices, many others rushed into the street and waved at Pia Wurtzbach so much that police had to be deployed to ensure the parade.

Not least, Cat also received the honor of parading for the Filipino people to applaud and welcome! It is worth noting that Castriona's parade attracted an impressive number of participants with more than 5 million people taking to the streets just to see her, despite the fierce sun in this country. Dressed in traditional green national attire, the beauty waved to fans and thanked her for supporting her throughout the journey.

The sight of Filipinos standing on both sides of the road caused terrible traffic jams, along the length of the main road in the capital Manila like a sea of people to applaud the beauty Catriona Gray. The spectacle was much more spectacular than the parade of senior Pia Wurtzbach, leaving many people overwhelmed!

However, fans believe that the design of Catriona's float is still not comparable to Pia Wurtzbach's. Both are inspired by the Miss Universe crown and the color of the evening dress of the two beauties, but Catriona's is considered by many viewers to be quite rough and look like a chicken thigh, even on the car, there is no roof design for the reigning Miss. Meanwhile, Pia's float is luxuriously designed, monumental and extremely sophisticated.

Only 1 few small details have made the fan relationship of the 2 queens, which was not good, even more acrimonious.

The one who is popular with Vietnamese fans, the one who is stoned

In June, Catriona Gray traveled to Vietnam to serve as a judge on the Miss Universe 2022 finale. The Filipino beauty was overwhelmed by the warm welcome of the crowd of fans waiting outside the airport.

The appearance of the 28-year-old beauty made the airport "riotous" by the excited cheers of a large number of beauty fans in the country. In response to the warm affection from the crowd, Miss Universe 2018 continuously waved and smiled friendly to fans. Before the "siege", the queen still maintained a confident, professional, open demeanor and was not afraid to shake hands and sign autographs for Vietnamese fans. On her Instagram, she also quickly showed off a series of warmly welcomed moments in Vietnam while expressing her happiness at being so popular.

In addition, her extremely thoughtful appearance and hard work at MUVN 2022 helped the queen score points with Vietnamese audiences.

In contrast to Cat, Pia is not very popular with Vietnamese fans. Miss Universe 2015 caused controversy because of questions about Khanh Van's vote count. Specifically, she posted a status on her personal Twitter expressing her surprise when the Philippine representative lost Khanh Van's vote: "Are there more beauty fans in Vietnam than in the Philippines?"

The move of former Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach immediately received criticism from the Vietnamese audience. Many comments said that she acted thoughtlessly in her position, because previously 2 MCs personally announced Khanh Van as the contestant with the highest number of votes in the history of the contest.

This is not the first time Pia has made netizens "angry". In the first episode of Asia's Next Top Model 2017, the photo with the theme of Supermodel Runaway of Vietnamese representative Minh Tu received a lot of praise from the judges but when it came time to announce the results, she only ranked 8th and Pia only gave Minh Tu 4.5.
