In the grand spectacle of Filipino journalism, where opinionated pundits reign supreme, it’s fascinating to witness how these self-proclaimed experts have transformed into omniscient beings, wielding their wisdom on everything from politics to economics to, yes, even beauty pageants. 

In the realm of 2023 Miss Universe predictions, these pundits played the role of infallible seers, confidently handing out verdicts as if they held the divine knowledge of a celestial jury.

However, when reality diverged from their foresight, a peculiar metamorphosis occurred. Suddenly, these all-knowing pundits became masters of the art of sour-graping. Their disappointment at the unexpected turn of events manifested in a cacophony of excuses and rationalizations. It seems that accepting defeat gracefully is a skill yet to be mastered by these media oracles.

While we all hoped for the best for Michelle Dee, it’s time for these pundits to relinquish their self-anointed titles as the supreme judges of all things. After all, even the most esteemed experts must occasionally bow to the unpredictable whims of the universe.
