However, one netizen going by @carolyne_vg noticed that Quiambao had bruises on her belly, and thought to ask the beauty queen herself.

In reply, Quiambao revealed she was diagnosed with Obstetric APAS/APS (Antiphospholipid Antibody)—an autoimmune disorder associated with pregnancy complications, according to the Medscape site.
