Gloria Diaz faces backlash for P500 Noche Buena claim after showing lavish meal

Former Miss Universe Gloria Diaz is facing backlash for agreeing with a DTI official that P500 is sufficient for a Filipino family's Noche Buena.

Diaz had previously stated that a P500 meal could include corned beef, fruit salad, pineapple juice, and pansit.

The controversy resurfaced when Diaz posted a video on Instagram last December 26 showcasing her lavish meal of soft-shell crabs.

Netizens expressed dismay, accusing her of insensitivity and hypocrisy, especially as the family is reportedly spending the holidays in France.

Commenters pointed out the stark contrast between her earlier statement and her current display of a luxurious meal, leading to accusations of a disconnect between her lifestyle and public statements.
