Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo took to social media recently to poke fun at rumors about her and Jeric Gonzales having allegedly called it quits.
On Instagram, she captioned her glammed-up photos with: "Hi! Ako pala yung sinaing mo. Joke! (victory hand, smiling face with halo, and smiling face with hearts emojis)."
The comment section was immediately filled with reactions from fellow beauty queens.
Miss Universe Philippines 2014 MJ Lastimosa wrote: "Lika inorder na kita."
Rabiya replied: "@mj_lastimosa with extra rice?"
Meanwhile, Miss Intercontinental Philippines 2017 and Miss World Philippines 2018 Katarina Rodriguez complimented Rabiya.
"Soooo gwapa (smiling face with heart-eyes emoji)," she wrote.
Miss Earth Water 2019 and Miss Universe Czech Republic 2020 Klára Vavrušková couldn't agree more, writing: "beautiful."
On the other hand, an online user asked Rabiya if she really meant "sinaing" and not "sinayang."
She replied: "sinaing po talaga."
Note the line was made famous by vlogger Wil , who seemingly poked fun at former girlfriend cosplayer Alodia Gosiengfiao's viral "sinayang mo" post.
Recall that rumors about Rabiya ending her short romance with Jeric went viral recently.
It didn't help that the hunk actor's photos could no longer be found in Rabiya's Instagram feed.
Adding fuel to the fire is Jeric doing a similar thing.
