When you need a hype girl, who do you call? No one else but Miss Universe Philippines 2014 MJ Lastimosa.
Whether it’s nailing your first cover shoot, moving on from an ex or in this special case, bringing home the crown for Miss Universe, we all need that big ball of positive energy before taking the leap. Luckily, the recent crop of Miss Universe Philippines queens have that support from former title holder MJ Lastimosa. When pageant season rolls along, you can count on Miss Mary Jean to be cheering. Yes, she travels with the queens and even streams the competition for most of us who don’t have access. But when she can’t, MJ is ever reliable when it comes to live tweeting about it. And yes, it is hilarious. Read on below for some of her best moments as the unofficial bestie of the year, Miss Congeniality, and cheerleader of Miss Universe!

When you’re MJ Lastimosa, it doesn’t matter if you’ve won a title. Even if you’re Miss Universe, she’ll still ask you to take her photos. A few of her notable photographers are Rabiya Mateo, Janine Tugonon, Victoria Vincent, and Maureen Wroblewitz. Queen things.

“Mythology of the cake di pweds,” she responds as people compared her national costume to our fierce contender. We don’t know about you, but we loooove our cake, cake, cake! Even MJ was shook when she saw Beatrice’s Bakunawa costume! “Eto na ata pinaka magandang Ph natcos natin by far, realtalk lungs“
3. SHE KNOWS EVERYONE NEEDS A FILIPINA IN THEIR LIVES
Infairness sa mga nagtatanong na locals dito kung taga San ako at pag sinasabi kong Philippines, gugulat sila. “Wow Filipineeeh are they all beautiful like you?” And I say “and a lot more!” #reprezent ganern!

When MJ Lastimosa flew to Israel to support our Miss Universe, she said people were stunned by her presence and was asked if everyone else in the Philippines is as beautiful as her. Of course, she responded in the sassiest way. She said what she said!

TBH, we’re here for MJ Lastimosa’s funny and witty commentary, we could listen to her all day. When she went out of her way to support Rabiya Mateo in Miami for Miss Universe last year, she was an unexpected standout—from cheering, hilarious side commentaries, and that loud, give-it-her-all support for her queen sister.
7. WHEN MJ GOT DRESSED BECAUSE SHE KNEW SHE’D BE THE ‘NOISIEST’
Nag damit ng maganda para balanse sa palengkerang sigawan mamaya sa prelims. HAHAHAHA yun bang maiinis sila na may majingay tas pag tumingin kung sino yun they can’t get mad at yah ?? pic.twitter.com/BG5bAS1Kx2

Note to self: you can’t get mad at a person who dresses well and obviously, MJ got the memo.
8. MJ’S REACTION TO RABIYA’S ~DRAMATIC~ FALL DURING HER FINAL WALK AS MISS UNIVERSE PHILIPPINES
Sinadya mo yung padapa noh? Very clazzz ehhh! Hartesta ka na gid ya dai labyu ga! ?#muph2021 pic.twitter.com/cW6AxXRCbK

If you can recall, Rabiya Mateo sort of tripped when she did her catwalk at the previous Miss Universe Philippines pageant. But instead of letting it spoil the mood for the whole night, she owned up to it and still slayed her walk. Now that’s what you call a graceful exit as MJ puts it.
9. SHE HAS A SOFT SPOT FOR THE OTHER QUEENS
Haist ibuh talaga pag mala pader ang gunthe mo no? pic.twitter.com/2vFVw6q8R5
— MJ Lastimosa (@MJ_Lastimosa) July 14, 2021
It’s MJ Lastimosa’s world and we’re just living in it. Her best asset? Her beauty a.k.a “gunthe” (ganda) that obviously even the current queens like Hannah Arnold are very much aware of. But more than that, she is always at the ready whenever a fellow queen needs anything. Help? Hype? Humor? Call MJ Lastimosa and she will be there.
10. SHE POKES FUN AT HERSELF AND ALSO HER FELLOW QUEENS
Me waking up in a good mood ready na makipagbardagulan pic.twitter.com/8P4JN4xaIw
