Devina DeDiva is still a trending topic on Twitter, Facebook and several search engines that include Google, Yahoo and Bing.

However, it seems that Devina DeDiva cannot take the heat from the fire she personally lit up. After being bombarded with negative reactions from her racist Facebook post about the 2013 Miss World winner, Devina DeDiva, deactivated her account from the social networking site.

Last Monday, DeDiva posted her reaction about Megan Young being the Miss World pageant queen. DeDiva maligned Filipinos by saying that "They are poor, smelly from cleaning toilets and uneducated... They are mostly filthy maids and will be only of that status. End of story."

On Wednesday, October 2, former beauty queens made their presence felt by supporting Megan Young. Below are some of the reactions by previous Filipina pageant winners.

• The honor is not only Megan's but the Philippines. We have made history and have proven once and for all that the Filipina is the most beautiful woman in the world! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas - Cory Quirino, national director of Miss World Philippine.

• What’s wrong with being a maid? Is that a crime? - Gemma Cruz-Araneta, 1964 Miss International

• To all her detractors, bless your hearts. I am proud of and grateful for Megan’s simplicity and golden heart. - 1979 Miss International 1979 Melanie Marquez.

• I have nothing to say (to those critics). Let Megan show the world how great she is as a Filipino woman. Meanwhile, let's all do our best to uplift our country by giving nobility to our jobs…wherever we are. This is a call for everyone to step up and show the world that we are kind, God-fearing people. - Miriam Quiambao, 1999 Miss Universe first runner-up.

Facebook App on iPhone 5 crashes unexpectedly

Facebook app is one of my favorite and most used application on my Apple iPhone 5. Since getting this phone from Globe Telecoms last December 2012, I never missed checking out the social networking app developed by Facebook.

I love checking out the Facebook status of my friends and posting my own on a daily basis using this app.

However, I was getting frustrated lately due to the unexpected crash of the Facebook app. The problem with this Facebook app instability is that you'll never know when it will automatically close.

In one instance, while checking out some of the photos of my friends, the Facebook app closes.

Just before I write this article, I suffered another Facebook app crash while I was browsing using my iPad 2.

That last event prompted me to write this experience and hopefully Facebook app developers can take a look and fix the issue.

I don't know if the Facebook app has an issue with the Apple iOS 6.1.2. This is because, if I recalled it right, this crashes of the Facebook app only started when I ugraded to the latest version of the iOS.

So, will I just have to wait for the next iOS update that is 6.1.3? Or will there be a new Facebook app update in the works?

Let's wait and see!
