Naging emosyonal ang newly-crowned Miss Universe Philippines na si Rabiya Mateo (Miss Iloilo) habang ipinapaliwanag ang sarili laban sa mga akusasyong ibinabato sa kanya kaugnay ng kanyang pagkakapanalo.

Sa panayam ni MJ Marfori ng TV5 kay Rabiya last Sunday night, sinabi ng beauty queen na masakit para sa kanya ang mga naturang akusasyon.

“To be honest po, maybe I wasn’t a frontrunner so people didn’t expect me to win and now that I have the crown...” pahayag ni Rabiya na hindi na napigilang maging emosyonal.

“I’m sorry I’m being emotional. They’re questioning my capability as a person, as a candidate… but I know that I did everything and anything that I could during that night and ibinigay ko talaga,” dagdag niya.

In-address din niya ang issue na ibinigay umano sa kanya beforehand ang question kaya nasagot niya nang maganda.

“And 'yung mga nagsasabi na the question was given to me that’s why I answered that way, it wasn’t given po sa akin. I did everything that I could because I want to make Iloilo City proud,” aniya.

“Of course, it was painful because there are things na you can settle by talking with each other. At the end of the day, this is a competition and being the bigger person in the picture, I need to understand where they are coming from,” dagdag pa ni Rabiya.
