Amid online bashing, Pia Wurtzbach admits joke after Pacquiao loss was 'bad timing'

Kamakailan lang, naging kontrobersiyal si Binibining Pilipinas Universe Pia Wurtzbach nang banatan siya ng netizens dahil sa kanyang tweet matapos ang laban nina Manny Pacquiao at Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Napintasan siya dahil sa post niyang ito: “Kalma lang guys. Ako bahala, bawi tayo sa miss universe!!”

Mayabang at overconfident daw ang dating ni Pia.

Nang maalala ang isyu, napangiti ang beauty queen at saka nagpaliwanag.

Sabi niya, “I said it in jest. I was being funny.

"I’m sorry if it came about na mayabang in a different way.

“That was not what I meant. I meant well when I said that.

“I only want the best for the Philippines, this is not about me anymore.

“I’m going to represent the Philippines, it’s a responsibility, it’s fun, it’s an honor.

"But more than anything, it’s a responsibility, it’s a job.”

Marami naman ang bumilib sa kanya dahil hindi niya pinatulan ang bashers. Hindi niya sinabayan ng talakan ang mga ito.

Saad ni Pia, “I think they say these things because they don’t know… hindi nila ako kilala siguro.

“Sa mga nakakakilala sa akin, alam nila kung paano basahin yung tweet na yun.

“Ganun lang naman [joke] yung ibig kong sabihin.

“Siguro lang kasi, yung timing ko rin, dun lang siguro ako nagkamali, masyado akong maagang tinweet yun.

“Kasi yung mga tao hurt pa sa result ng laban ni Manny.

"Sa tingin ko, bad timing lang yung joke ko." -- PEP
