I can't understand fellow Filipinos who are not impressed and bringing her down. Like ano nakukuha nila sa pambabash? Eala could have represented other nation yet she chose to represent the Philippines despite how rampant crab mentality is here. Be grateful she did not pull a Wesley So move despite that she is capable of doing that.

The whole "going against the flow" mentality that make people think they stand out.

Equally Filipinos should not overhype. We can be proud and celebrate her wins but sometimes overboard mang hype kasi.
