Veteran fashion designer Renee Salud came to the defense of Miss Universe Philippines Maxine Medina amid criticisms of her English-speaking skills.

Salud said people shouldn't be quick to judge Medina just because she cannot speak the language well.

"Maging mahinahon kayo sa paghuhusga kay Miss Philippines. 'Wag naman niyong apihin 'yung bata. Hindi porke't nagkakamali lang ng kaunting Ingles eh akala mo bobo na 'yung bata," Salud said in an interview on radio DZMM.

Salud added that candidates from South American countries such as Venezuela and Brazil also use interpreters as they are more comfortable answering questions in their native tongue.

Venezuela is among the countries with the most number of Miss Universe titleholders.

"Eh lahat nga nung mga sinasabi natin na mga pangalan na ito, mga kandidatang ito hindi naman ganun ka-Inglisera," Salud said.

According to Salud, it will be easy for Medina to secure a slot in the top 10.

"The top 10 is easy for the Miss Philippines, ang ganda-ganda naman niya. At 'yung mga sinasabi nila na hindi siya magaling sa Ingles. Hindi naman 'yun ang gauge para manalo," he said.

Besides Medina, Salud said the candidates from Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand and Sierra Leone would likely be among the pageant's semifinalists.
