Rabiya Mateo claps back at netizen who said she ‘looks cheap’

Rabiya Mateo clapped back at an online basher, and she once again kept it classy and graceful.

In a TikTok video, the beauty queen and Kapuso star responded to a netizen who said she “looks cheap.”

“You know what madam, miss, or di ko alam paano kita i-a-address—you can be the most expensive-looking person. But if you're mean or rude, or the way you think or talk to people is not right, I don't think na I want to be somebody like you," the beauty queen said.

Rabiya clarified that she is in no way shaming the netizen because of their older age.

“But I hope sa edad niyo pong yan, marami na kayong natutunan sa buhay. And you should be a good example to your family, to your kids, to your apo kung meron ka na po, dahil hindi ganyan dapat mag-act sa social media,” she said. “Marami na po kayong napagdaan sa buhay, I'm sure of that. And sana, you chose to be a good person na makaka-inspire ng ibang tao diba.”

The “TicktoClock” host ended her video by saying, “If I look cheap, pasensya na po. Pero I will never be somebody like you.”

Rabiya also touched on her self-love journey and how she is proud of herself. “I'm proud kung paano ako manamit, kung paano ako magsalita, kung paano ako makikapwa tao.”

According to Rabiya, she has been receiving negative comments ever since her start on Miss Universe Philippines, but this is the first time she made a video to respond. — LA, GMA Integrated News
