NGL, numerous Pinoys got really witty and playful with their comments. Some made comments about how R'Bonney would actually ask the jeepney to stop, a.k.a how R'Bonney would tell the driver, "Para po." After all, it's been an existing quirky discussion on what's the most accurate English translation of, "Para po."
A netizen implied that R'Bonney could shout, "Kuya, end me here!" so she could alight from her ride. Another commented, "Kuya decrease me there," when they probably meant, "Ibaba mo ako rito." LOL!
Some also pointed out how fresh R'Bonney still looks despite the humid weather in the Philippines. Her makeup? Still intact and glowing! But one netizen seemed to be concerned about R'Bonney's jewelry. "'Yung alahas mo oy, hubarin mo HAHAHA," the netizen said, as if warning the beauty queen to be alert and vigilant of getting her jewelry snatched.
But of course, on top of all the funny and witty comments, the internet praised R'Bonney for being such a cool beauty queen. "Stan this walang kaarte-arteng Miss Universe!" one comment read.
