MANILA, Philippines — Kapamilya TV host Boy Abunda trended online after his hard question asked at the Question & Answer portion of the 57th Binibining Pilipinas held at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum early today.
Boy asked Iloilo’s Karen Laurrie Mendoza: “When it is okay not to be okay and when is it not okay to be not okay?”

“You know, sometimes, it's hard to move on especially that if we lost our loved ones, when we're depressed when we have anxiety, but most of all, when we want to move forward in life. You know, my favorite saying in a movie Disney, ‘Inside Out,’ is embrace your sadness because in embracing your sadness you will feel happiness afterwards,” the Iloilo representative answered.
