Twitterverse was alive as the nation watched and reacted to last night's Bb. Pilipinas 2017. From observations to witty quips, everyone had something to say about the pageant -- even local celebrity Tim Yap.

The eventologist drew a lot of Twitter heat when he tweeted that "Some of the girls don't look like they come from the provinces they represent."

Quick to fire back, netizens had their own witty replies to Yap's statement.

Tim Yap has since deleted the post and clarified what he meant with the tweet.

I didn't mean it that way. I am sorry for whoever I offended with my tweet. I think everyone is beautiful no matter where they're from.

I'm not bashing them. Just like you, I'm excited to see who among them will shine. #bbpilipinas2017 https://t.co/9jixnpiqap
