MANILA – “I’m sorry po. I don’t mean to be misunderstood po and I don’t mean to offend anyone.”

This is what Miss Universe 2015 said in a Twitter post on Monday.

This prompted many to ask: “Why is she apologizing?”

Wurtzbach, it turns out, is addressing some fans who claimed that they have been blocked after making political statements on the beauty queen’s Twitter page.

The said fans have been pushing Wurtzbach to make a stand on the extra-judicial killings under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte.

They are hoping that the former Miss Universe titleholder will use her massive social media following to call out the government to stop the killings.

Others continued to express their sentiments by commenting on Wurtzbach’s recent congratulatory message to Filipina beauty queens who were victorious in their respective pageants.
