Miss Universe 2015 and Philippines’ pride Pia Wurtzbach defended Maureen Wroblewitz, one of the three Filipina contestants in “Asia’s Next Top Model,” from a not so pleasant comment from the photographer who also served as one of the judges during the first episode of the hit reality competition.

Here are some notable comments from netizens:

violet erin12: “maureen and pia are both half german! thats pretty cool tho… ich liebe dich”

InfiniteAngel Draws12: “the man was not right because we all know that the picture was beautiful right?”

Kimberly G5: “modeling is not about being beautiful it is how they pose and portray a certain topic regarding in the line of what they are modeling for. yes, maureen is beautiful but saying pinays are beautiful are exageration. let’s state the fact that the judges are professionalsthey and the comments are based on their experiences professionally and filipinos will always be bias for their “kababayan”.”

Little Superstar11: “Inggit Lang sila kay Maureen! Kase alam nilang Sure win ang Pilipinas 🙂 #GoMaureen!”

Jimmy Baldoz: “she had to defend her country? Just a reminder, Angelica (Philippine Rep) got elimnated at the first episode. If Pia was biased, then she could have given Angelica a high score and she wont be eliminated. Dont you think?”

Katrina Deah Salinas: “I think Pia used to look like her before . A naive girl but with a lot of potentials.”

John Samar: “Liza Soberano + Pia Wurtzbach = Maureen Wroblewitz”

LeaSchmea: “They should not have given her bangs! Were they trying to sabotage her?”
