Miss Universe Philippines 2014 MJ Lastimosa earned buzz for her quips and live commentaries on Twitter as Filipinos watch the preliminary competition of Miss Universe 2022.
The former beauty queen on Thursday amused fellow pageant fans and enthusiasts when she took to the short-messaging platform to share her thoughts while personally watching the competition.
Her very first tweet for the day was an instant hit as she once again recalled her iconic national costume in the 63rd edition of the beauty pageant.
“Andaming magandaaaaa, mukhang lugi natcos [national costume] ko dito, sessss,” MJ quipped on Thursday morning.

It has earned over 6,000 likes, 231 retweets and 235 quote tweets so far.
“Fave ko pa rin nat cos mo, miiii,” a Twitter user said in response to her post.
“Iconic pa rin ‘yung Dangwa-inspired gown mo, queen,” another Pinoy quipped. Dangwa refers to the Dangwa Flower Market in Sampaloc, Manila. It is popular for selling different varieties of fresh flowers and bouquets.
MJ had previously caused a stir due to her national costume, where she wore a three-toned gown with terno sleeves and a floral headdress by Colombian designer Alfredo Barraza.
The attire was inspired by the Flower Festival or the “Panagbenga” in Baguio City.
Some social media users have previously commented that it appeared to be inspired by birthday cakes or Iced Gem biscuits.
Last year, MJ poked fun at the memes that her national costume generated.
