The Miss Universe Philippines 2019 Gazini Ganados stunned her fans and viewers after she wiped off her makeup in front of everyone on national television.

Gazini received some criticism online where some people made comments about her looking beautiful only with makeup. After the criticism, she offered to remove her makeup for everyone to see her natural face and people were left in awe.

Gazini Ganados was seen on the newest episode of the talk show, Tonight With Boy Abunda. A clip from the episode has now gone viral on the internet after it was uploaded to the channel’s YouTube channel on June 25.

The host talks to Miss Universe Philippines 2019 about the critics calling her ugly without makeup and Gazini had the best answer for it.

She offered to remove her makeup right then, in front of a live audience and on television. Her exact words were, "Sorry, Pero gusto mo tanggalin natin?". Boy Abunda’s initial reaction was of shock. The shift in his reaction was visible as it turned from shock to respect.

Regarding criticisms about her Q&A skills, Gazini said, “I appreciate the criticism because I know there’s so much to learn and improve in myself. The first step is accepting it and then innovating it. Ang ayaw ko lang is when those bashers go below the belt.”

Gazini, who will be fighting for a back-to-back win at the next Miss Universe pageant following Catriona Gray’s win, said, “Someday I hope that we can all unite and be diverse at the same time because we’re all unique in our own ways. Sana magtulungan tayo - this is for the Philippines.”
