Beauty queen Mary Jean “MJ” Lastimosa responded to Netizens, who targetted her political stance.
Lastimosa has supported PH’s bet to Miss Universe 2021, Rabiya Mateo, though.
However, as she made noise online and defended Mateo from critics, Netizens rekindled the issue about her being a DDS.
A netizen asked MJ about her feelings now that her fellow DDS are attacking Mateo. The beauty queen inquired why the label of being a DDS.
Why’d you call me dds please explain

The accusation against Lastimosa being a DDS stemmed from a photo with President Duterte when she visited the Palace.
Apart from that, from a now-deleted tweet in 2016, she also expressed her admiration for Duterte. She assured the President that she stands beside him until the end.
“DUTERTE TILL THE END sorry, I worked for the guy and admired his ideals since then.”
When Netizens asked for an update regarding that, she then clarified that she just got invited to eat there. She also wished to see the Palace thus she accepted the invitation.
Sabi nila kakain eh di pumunta si baks gusto ko lang naman makita malacañang malay ko ba

The Filipino-Arabian fashion model, actress, television presenter, and beauty pageant titleholder quipped that she was ‘scammed’ due to the food served to them.

During Mateo’s stint in Miss Universe, she got attacked by DDS for defending the PH bet.
When asked if she is still a DDS after that, she said that she’s already tired of these people.
Pagoda na rin ang beauty ko sakanila

She was born in North Cotabato, but she finished her schooling in Davao City, Duterte’s hometown.
Lastimosa was crowned as Mutya ng Dabaw in 2008 then represented the city in Reyna ng Aliwan in the same year, where she also won the top crown.
