She may have lost, but there's no denying that Rachel Peters made all the Filipinos proud with her performance in the just-concluded 66th Miss Universe pageant.
Even celebrities and personalities sent their warmest greetings for the 26-year-old Bicolana beauty.
Among the stars who rallied support for the Philippine candidate was ABS-CBN comedian-TV host Vice Ganda.
From start to finish, the It's Showtime host convinced his followers to support Rachel.
Some of his wittiest tweets read: "Go Rachel! Wag mo na sila antayin. Mag long gown ka na anak! Ako na bahala sa papalag."
