Beauty queens back home need to be honed to think fast on their feet. Same thing happened to another Bicolana, Miriam (forgot her last name) who fumbled her response to the question of a beauty queen found pregnant. The eventual winner was an African who answered that every pregnancy is a gift. Bang, she won the crown, and Miriam came home as 1st runner-up.

Or a short poem, like haiku, anything that calls attention and separates you from the usual boring responses. Think outside the box!

Judges are not really interested in lengthy answers. Like an ad campaign, they want short, to the point that delivers a punch. I would have answered it this way: I would have sang Frank Sinatra’s MY WAY “regrets, I have a few, but then again, too few to mention.” Thank you ladies and gentlemen.

Having braved BPCI controversy on account of her late-registered Birth Certificate and then overcoming it to recover her beauty crown in time, MVRaj could have answered WBaldwin confidently:

“The biggest mistake I may have ever made was omitting the inelegance of my complicated roots when I competed for the Binibining Pilipinas beauty crown. I corrected the mistake by personally declaring a sad truth about my humble international beginnings. Happily, doing the right thing when it became due worked things out wonderfully and so, thank you so much to my family for all the love and support, for here I am tonight with audacity of hope to try to win as Miss Universe 2010!”

Considering that exotic and regal MVRaj was No.3 in swimsuit and No. 5 in gown, do you think it would have made a different result?

In the 1st press statement of BPCI, the confirmation of the discrepancy between Venus Raj’s personal account of her birth and her birth certificate came after the coronation. According to BPCI, the authenticity of Raj’s birth certificate was given due respect during the screening, however, she later publicly refuted the information in it. BPCI must have realized the legal obstacles she may encounter especially when getting a passport since one of the basic requirements is the birth certificate. It follows that without a passport, she could not get out of the country for further training and join the Miss Universe Contest. For me, reinstating her does not mean giving her false hope but clinging to any possibility that she could get a passport. I’m banking on her lawyers to do necessary measures as soon as possible. Let us not lose hope for Ms. Raj. Thanks to BPCI for considering her reinstatement as per appeal of her fans.

Give the crown to a woman who can speak clearly and can back their words with with cohesive substance and intelligence. Supposedly all these candidates are college graduates. Good Grief. View videos of past candidates during their pageant interviews and try and decipher their responses to questions. You will not only be in awe but more than likely a little embarrased for them.

They have a bad history of stripping,and humiliating winners of Bb. Pilipinas, like Janina San Miguel. Lots of Latina winners hardly speak English, yet they were able to win the crown. Let’s hope they give the crown back to Venus for the year 2011.
