Long-lost sisters? Netizens see resemblance between Miss Vietnam, Filipina vlogger

BANGKOK, Thailand — A Filipina travel vlogger is being compared to Vietnam’s representative for Miss Universe 2018 H'Hen Nie for their uncanny resemblance.

Online users have been tagging vlogger Patrice “Ave” Averilla, known for her YouTube channel “Avelovinit”, as the lookalike of Nie.

Kung magkakapera lang ako sa bawat message/mention niyo sakin na kamukha ko si Ms. Vietnam eh siguro dami ko na pera ????

In an interview with Philstar.com, Ave shared that her viewers and followers started sending her photos of Nie a few months ago because of their resemblance to each other.

“At first I really don't see the resemblance probably because I know that she is waaaay good looking than me plus super elegant niya,” Ave told Philstar.com.

“But then about a week ago, I'm starting to see the similarities maybe there are some angles pero di ko pa rin makita ng todo,” she added.

Ave shared that she did not believe the online users at first until she took one photo on Friday where she also recognized their resemblance.

“I took a photo on my phone and one of my followers sent me a photo of her na pareho yung awra namin and that's when I got super shocked and at the same time freaked out na para ko siyang long lost sizzy,” she told Philstar.com.

Recently, Nie made it to the headlines with her banh mi national costume and the controversial video of Miss USA Sarah Rose Summers and Miss Australia Francesca Hung mocking the Vietnamese and Cambodian candidates' English speaking skills.
