According to reports, there were restrictions on the use of makeup and hair personnel. This was because of the need to observe health protocols during the pandemic.
Tatlonghari went further to state that she was speaking up about the 'glam team' and that she was not bitter in any way.
Did Rabiya Mateo deserve the win?

To be honest, maybe because I wasn’t a frontrunner, so people didn’t expect me to win.
But I know that I did everything and anything that I could during that night.
