Pia Guanio received negative remarks from fans of Kapuso actor and host Alden Richards after she did not mention his name as one of the presenters on the second runner-up award in the ‘Eat Bulaga’ segment ‘Miss Millennial 2019’.
Alden was assigned to present the said award alongside SKAL International chairman Robert Lim Joseph Jr. but Pia only introduced the latter which sparked dismay from fans.

After the second-runner up was awarded, Paolo Ballesteros congratulated the winner and mentioned Alden, saying: “Congratulations! Thank you din, Alden.”
Alden’s handler Leysam Sanciangco seemed to notice the blunder and aired his sentiments on Twitter, saying: “Di man lang binangit haha! 🤦🏻♂️ parang pahabol na lang ah? 😂”

Pia later addressed the issue in an Instagram post and gave her message to Alden, saying: “Please tell your fans not to get mad na! Wag na mag-away! God bless you all!”
However, the post’s caption has been edited as of writing.
Fans then aired their reactions to the issue over social media as one user wrote: “Ms Pia Guanio, when you make a mistake, whether it´s deliberate or not, you give an apology and an explanation. Not ask the one insulted to clean up your mess.”
Another netizen wrote: “Ang tone deaf ng post ni Pia Guanio ano?
A simple statement would have explained what may have been an honest lapse and closed the issue. But instead pinasa pa niya yung responsibilidad kay Alden to diffuse the situation.
Think before you click, Pia 🙄”
