Wurtzbach expressed her support for Medina on social media when she noticed that bashers continue to post negative comments about Maxine's performance.
According to the the former titleholder, “So proud of Maxine. She represented the Philippines so well. And guys, she wanted it just as much as you did. Let's not bash our kababayan.”
To Medina, she said, “Keep your head up, @maxinemedina! Remember what I told you, you are a queen! Nobody can tell you otherwise. You earned it.”
