Jessy Mendiola Approached Pia Wurtzback After Her Controversial Joke Went Viral Online!

Jessy Mendiola trended almost the whole week last week for her angst statements which angered a lot of netizens.

One of which was her statement that involves beating Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach in the title “Sexiest Woman in the Country”, a yearly event done by FHM Magazine. The Miss Universe landed on the 16th spot.

But Jessy Mendiola finally broke her silence on being the center of criticisms and said that her joke was taken out of context.
“Nung nabalitaan ko nga, natawa na lang ako na parang, ‘really?’ Ganoon niyo nakita iyon at narinig iyon? Wala naman akong sinabing sobrang sama para magalit yung taumbayan sa akin,” she said.
She also said that she was just overwhelmed with the title and said ““Para sa akin kasi, at that moment, nag-joke ako na ‘Shucks, talo ko pa si Pia sa trato sa akin ngayon.’ What I meant was ‘yung context na grabe ‘yung overwhelming feeling. Grabe ‘yung trato niyo sa akin bilang parang queen na din,”
It can be recalled that the Miss Universe defended her and took it to twitter.
“What I saw was a girl who was just really ecstatic to be given that recognition. Nothing wrong with that. Congratulations, Jessy!” she said.
Mendiola appreciated the statement a lot and has extended her gratitude. “I asked some of my friends na friends din niya to extend my gratitude. Ang sweet nga niya to tweet that. Kung siya nga nakita niya as a joke ‘yun, bakit parang other people won’t see that as a joke?” she said.
Meanwhile, she urged the netizens not to think that fame got into her head and said ““Sa pagkakaalam ko, hindi ako nagmayabang. Pangalawa, wala naman akong nilait na tao o kaya minaltrato. Siguro for me, why do people hate others who are just confident with themselves? Sa panahon ngayon, instead of us women helping each other to stand up and be strong, tayo pa ‘yung [nagsisiraan]. Kapag nakita natin ‘yung flaw niya, ididiin pa natin,”.
