(SPOT.ph) Our queen Beatrice Gomez did us proud at the Miss Universe 2021! The coronation night happened in Israel on December 12 (morning of Monday, December 13 Philippine time) with the Cebuana carrying our flag all the way to the Top 5—an event which sure made our typical Monday morning far more interesting than it usually is. While the title of Miss Universe went to India's Harnaaz Sandu, Gomez wins big in our eyes as she is our first contender to break into the Top 5 since Catriona Gray's win in 2018.

Unsurprisingly, social media was on fire during the main event. Look, we are admittedly a pretty pageant-crazy country. Pinoy fans in the crowd were cheering so hard that host Steve Harvey even had to remind them they were currently in Israel. And speaking of names to take note, Marian Rivera was also present as a member of the pageant's selection committee—and yup, according to Harvey, the actress is a "recording artist" too!
If you were feeling a little hazy this Monday morning in the midst of a pandemic and the Christmas rush, we feel you. Worry not as we'll keep you in the loop in the best, most low-commitment way possible: the funniest tweets.
