Dinepensahan ng TV host and anchor na si Kaladkaren ang kapwa transgender na si Marina Summers, na pinuna ang kanyang hosting style sa katatapos lamang na Miss Universe Philippines 2026.
Sa pagsisimula ng finals night ng pageant kagabi, May 2, 2026, sa Mall of Asia Arena, may mga netizens na pumansin sa mababang energy ng RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs the World Season 2 contestant.
May mga nagkumpara pa sa hosts noong mga nakaraang taon na sina Alden Richards, Robi Domingo, Xian Lim, at Gabbi Garcia.
"Nakakantok" daw.
Sabi pa ng isa (published as is): "end that khia. It blows my mind na she got to host. E sa drag race palang ang uka uka na niya mag english and literal na kulang sa charisma. Marina summers your hosting proved you are a great dancer. Mag lipsynch ka nalang inday"

KALADKAREN, NETIZENS DEFEND MARINA SUMMERS
To the rescue kay Marina ang kaibigang si Kaladkaren.
Sabi niya sa kanyang Facebook account habang ongoing ang pageant kagabi: "You can say whatever you want about Marina’s hosting but the fact that she’s there on stage…
"A trans woman hosting the biggest beauty pageant in the country speaks volumes. Periodt"
Maraming netizens ang nag-post din ng mensahe sa X (dating Twitter) para i-cheer si Marina:
"so many other people's stories about marina summers' hosting, what do you want her to do there, lipsync for your life, naturally formal hosting that, i hope you'd criticize the candidates the same way too pwe #muph2026"
"Not everyone will understand the kind of grace it takes to stand on a stage like Miss Universe Philippines but @marinaxsummers does, and she carries it with intention.
"Hosting isn’t always about being loud or overly entertaining. Sometimes, it’s about presence, poise, and knowing when to let the queens shine and that’s exactly what she did.
"In a space that demands elegance and credibility, she chose to elevate the stage instead of overshadow it. While others see 'boring,' I see discipline.
"I see respect for the platform. I see someone breaking barriers and still choosing to hold herself with class despite the noise.
"She didn’t come to entertain expectations she came to elevate the standard. WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU OUR FILIPINA WINNAH #MarinaSummers"
"congratulations, madam @marinaxsummers! tonight you made history in the most graceful way. a proof that you’ve always been that Filipina winnah we love.
"all u did was powerful & full of purpose, indeed it was for the entire community & u carried it with so much pride"
Pero ang pasabog sa hosting stint ni Marina: ang outfit change niyang umabot sa lima. Ang bongga!
