Belum sempat Malaysia meraikan kemenangan wakil negara, Shweta Sekhon bagi kategori Best National Costume di acara Miss Universe 2019, nampaknya kemenangan itu adalah milik Filipina.

Filipina yang diwakili oleh Gazini Ganados diumumkan menang kategori tersebut seperti yang diumumkan oleh pengacara, Steve Harvey.

.@IAmSteveHarvey had it right: Miss Universe Philippines Gazini Ganados is the winner of the #MissUniverse2019 National Costume competition! Congratulations, Gazini. 🎉 pic.twitter.com/L8DpAyNL9I

Berita kesilapan pengumuman itu telah mencetuskan perdebatan dalam kalangan pengguna laman sosial sejak tengah hari tadi.

But they shouldn't have done that. They could say she won 2nd place! We Malaysians are going crazy for the win now we're heartbroken.

With my respect to @IAmSteveHarvey
I wish @MissUniverse should hold a press conference awarding Miss Philippines Gazini the award she truly deserves. This is unfair. It should be her time to shine that moment. I'm very disappointed!

How unprofessional this organizer is. Doing it again just to trend. What a shame! ONCE is enough. But doing it for the SECOND time? And ON PURPOSE? Care to explain?

This is a big joke @MissUniverse we are very disappointed. This is dishearting to our Malaysian friends and to the Filipinos.
