Hashtag #ShePassedAway become a hot topic on social media site Twitter after Miss Philippines Earth contestant said in a TV interview that her roommate “passed away,” instead of “passed out.”
TV Patrol reporter Mario Dumaual asked candidate Pircelyn Pialago why her close friend, Leslie Ann Pine, suddenly collapsed during the pageant’s bikini competition on Wednesday.
“She passed away kasi she’s really hungry. I kept on inviting her to eat breakfast but she didn’t want to eat kasi we’re under weight watch. There are like six girls who are under weight watch, for big tummies and stuff. We’re not really allowed to eat much, so she’s really depriving herself,” Pialago said.
After the report aired, netizens reacted to the wrong use of “passed away.”
In a text message to ABS-CBN News, Pialago said she is sorry for incorrectly using the term, adding that she was “just really tensed about what happened to Leslie during that time.”
“Can’t imagine that this mistake will make me trending in social media. Sorry a lot! Please don’t be too harsh, people,” she added.
Below is the raw footage of the said incident.
