Inulan ng katakut-takot na pamba-bash ang Ms. Universe Philippines 2022 na si Celeste Cortesi mula sa mga netizens dahil sa tweet niyang “WHAT JUST HAPPENED#muph2024” pagkatapos nang tanghalin bilang Ms. Universe Philippines 2024 si Chelsea Manalo.

Para sa iba ay halata diumano na pinapaboran ni Celeste si Ms. Taguig Christi McGarry kung ang pagbabasehan daw ay ang tweet ng beauty queen na ang ganda-ganda ni Christi at ang perfect din ang sagot nito sa question and answer.
Sa panayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kay Celeste sa Azul office sa One Park Drive sa BGC Taguig nung nakaraang Oct. 15, nilinaw ng beauty queen na na-misinterpret lang ng ibang tao ang naging tweet niya at nabigyan ng ibang kulay ng iba.
Lahad niya, “Of course, I support her.
“I haven’t had anything against her, to be honest.
“I think the public just misunderstood what I was just trying to say. It’s normal, I don’t take it against them.
“I just wish her all the best and good luck on the competition. I think she can make it, yeah, I think she can make it.”
Ayon kay Celeste, hindi pa niya personal na nakikilala si Chelsea na nakalipad na papuntang Los Angeles kasama ang grupo nito para sa preparasyon sa Miss Universe 2024 na gaganapin sq Mexico sa November 17.
Sabi pa niya, “Unfortunately I haven’t met her yet but she seems very nice and prepared. I just really wish her the best.
“Ms. Universe is really an amazing experience and I hope she’s prepared and I hope she has the right team behind her. I’m just very excited and she can make it, so good luck to Chelsea.”
CELESTE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT CHELSEA’S MISS UNIVERSE 2024 BID
Positibo naman ang beauty queen/entrepreneur na malaki ang tsansa na masungkit ni Chelsea ang korona bilang Ms. Universe 2024.
Paninigurado niya, “I think so, yeah, I think she has all the cards to make the competition. I feel she’s very calm, she’s very prepared, so really good luck to Chelsea coz it’s gonna be an amazing journey.”
Bilang naging biktima na rin ng bashing, pinili ni Celeste na wag magbasa ng mga negatibong komento ng mga netizens sa kanya.
Pag-amin ng beauty queen, “Honestly, I didn’t read about the comments coz I feel like negativity is not helping me. I also advise other people or my friends not to read the comments most especially when they ate negative.
“I am busy with signing with Viva and also my business with Azul so negative thoughts and comments have no space in my life right now, so I just want to keep it away from me.”
CELESTE EXCITED TO TACKLE ACTION ROLES
Binalita din sa amin ni Celeste na pumirma na siya ng kontrata sa Viva Films kung saan action ang genre na gusto niyang pasukin.
Masaya niyang kuwento, “Just recently I signed a new contract with Viva.
“Actually, we’re already in talks for few projects, workshops. I just signed last week so we’re working on it.
“Why action? I don’t know, I think it’s so cool, honestly it’s lot of work especially physically you have to be prepared but in the Philippines there’s a niche when it comes to action movies.
“I would like to dominate that niche and I think Viva is the perfect management to help.me grow and help me towards my goal.
“You know, Angelna Jolie is my favorite, perfect example of an action star but again it takes a lot of work, it takes a lot studying.
“It’s not easy, you cannot just jump into a movie that’s why we’re doing workshops and being able to split my time between workshops and all that.”
CELESTE NOT KEEN ON DOING SEXY FILMS
Ang streaming app ng Viva na Vivamax ay kilala sa paggawa ng mga sex films. Ayon naman kay Celeste, hindi siya bukas na gumawa ng ganitong klaseng mga pelikula.
Sabi niya, “No, and also now I own a brand which is Azul [lip plumper], I also wanna be careful with the image that I’m portraying, that’s why it’s very important to be selective of the projects that I’m gonna do in the future.
Ayon sa beauty queen, pinasok niya ang industriya dahil gusto niyang gumawa ng bago sa kanya at maging busy sa mga kapaki-pakinabang na mga bagay.
Dagdag niya, “I just wanna grow with the industry, I’ve been in the industry for quite a while. I was with GMA as well, but of course, I am looking forward to something new, I want to focus now on doing movies.
“Now that I have a brand Azul, it’s a little bit challenging in splitting time between showbiz and also the brand. I’m just very happy that I’m keeping myself busy and I’m creating something that’s my own. I hope that people like it.”
