Gloria Diaz Miss Universe: “Send money to your son!” to Phillip Salvador’s speech goes viral!
OMG! Just when we thought the online world was quieting down, our Gloria Diaz Miss Universe OG and timeless icon dropped a truth bomb so loud it echoed from IG to the ICC!
Move over, beauty pageant Q&A; Gloria just gave us a masterclass in savage one-liners.
It all started with a seemingly harmless video. Former matinee idol turned aspiring senator Phillip Salvador, fresh from the ’80s vaults, appeared on @nanay_bebot_official’s IG feed saying, “Bring him home!” referring to ex-President Rodrigo Duterte, who is currently at The Hague for a few international legal issues.
But instead of focusing on the speech, netizens zoomed in on one royal comment that sliced sharper than a sash from Miss U:
“Yung anak mo, padalan mo ng pera.” It means send money to your son.
And guys, the internet lost it.
Yes, you read that right. That wasn’t from a gossiper in the corner sari-sari store but from GLORIA DIAZ herself.
Netizens screamed. Some clutched their pearls. Others chanted, “Queen behavior!” And her IG bio? “No filter since 1969” suddenly made perfect sense.
For context (and for those who’ve been hiding under a rock), Phillip Salvador has a son, Joshua, with the one and only Kris Aquino. And if you remember, back in 2015, the Queen of All Media made it crystal clear that no child support ever came from Phillip’s direction. So yes, Gloria’s comment wasn’t random; it was a well-placed mic drop 10 years in the making.
Many nitizens left hilarious comments such as;
“anak mo nga pinabayaan mo, gusto mo pang maglingkod sa Senado.. hindi kami kasing-8080 mo” meaning, you even neglected your son and you want to serve the senate, don’t fool us.
“Puro ka ganyan, ayusin mo muna buhay mo” fix yourself first.
“Wala syang kwarta pampadala kaya susubukang kumandidato baka makakurakot kung makakatsamba.” He doesn’t have money to send and tries to run first and he might be lucky to get funds.
Now, neither Phillip nor Kris has issued a statement (yet), but the netizens have taken over with memes, quotes, and theories. Some even suggested Gloria deserves her own Senate seat or at least a prime-time talk show on which she reacts to showbiz drama in real-time.
The buzz is getting wild, especially since Philip Salvador is running for a Senatorial position under the PDP Laban lineup. With the ongoing clash of BBM and PDP laban political rivals, each side is looking for all candidates to find loopholes and issues that can taint their candidacy.
And in case you’re wondering, Gloria hasn’t deleted or edited the comment because queens don’t backtrack, darling.
Who is Gloria Diaz Miss Universe 1969?
Meanwhile, Miss Diaz continues to be booked and busy from Binibining Pilipinas 2024 judging duties, the horror movie Untold, and, yes, still radiating next to her younger longtime partner (yes, Miss Diaz has been with him for 28 as long as some showbiz marriages lasted combined).
You might be unfamiliar with Gloria Diaz; she’s a Filipina actress, model, and beauty queen who made history when she was crowned Miss Universe at only 18 years old in 1969, becoming the first Filipina ever to win the title.
Her wit and charm, particularly the last Q&A round, melted the judges away and shot her into international stardom. Diaz’s immediate post-queen career saw her develop into a dynamic film and television actress with hit performances and awards. She’s also a proud mom of actress and TV host Isabelle Daza off-cam.
So, guys, what do you think? Is Gloria Diaz on the spot on her comments? Or does she just want to stir an issue to divert people’s attention?
