Cebuanos angered by Gloria Diaz Comment
Cebuanos were angered by Gloria Diaz’ comment on the Filipinos’ need for an interpreter for international beauty pageants.
“A Cebuana can hardly speak English and, of course, Tagalog so maybe she could answer in Bisaya” says Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz on an interview with ABS-CBN. Watch the video below.

One comment for Cebuanos angered by Gloria Diaz Comment
It’s actually Gloria Diaz who needs an interpreter in the first place, because of her poor diction in English. Had she been properly trained in grammar, she wouldn’t have caught herself in trouble now. Her failure to use pronoun “who” to represent antecedent “Cebuana” is an indication that she doesn’t have the right to single out a Cebuana for lack of English proficiency. With “who” between “Cebuana” and “can” her statement would’ve sounded more acceptable, for she might have just wanted to say an example.
