TAGUIG CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Taguig Bureau) – Former House Speaker and Taguig Representative Alan Peter Cayetano has some great advice for Miss Taguig Sandra Lemonon: Be a sport!

Lemonon trended on social media after she revealed that one of the Miss Universe Philippines contestants (and possibly the winner) used packing tape to enhance her chances of winning the crown.

Cayetano, who was embroiled in a controversy over the term-sharing agreement regarding the House Speakership with Lord Allan Velasco, advised Lemonon to abide by the agreement and MUP rules she signed when she joined the pageant.

Good advice, Mr. Ex-Speaker! You, indeed, speak from valuable personal experience!

Miss universe philippines: TALE OF THE (packing) TAPE

Leave a comment

TAGUIG, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Taguig Bureau) – When one speaks of “Tale of the Tape,” it usually refers to the sport of boxing where the fighters would be measured with a tape measure before a fight.

But in beauty contests, particularly in the recently-concluded 2020 Miss Universe Philippines (MUP) held in Baguio City, this idiom took on an entire new meaning.

MUP Taguig City representative Sandra Lemonon is trending on social media because of her own “Tale of the Tape.” It wasn’t about a measuring tape though. Rather, it was about packing tape.

Without going into details, she revealed that a contestant used some packing tape during the pageant.

Perhaps the subject contestant used packing tape to seal boxes containing her gowns and accessories after the pageant finals on Sunday?

Hmmm…
