Nicolette Henson is Now Miss Philippines-Universe 2010

At the recently concluded Binibining Pilipinas 2010 (Miss Philippines 2010) pageant, Filipina-Indian civil servant Maria Venus Raj was crowned Miss Philippines-Universe 2010. Unfortunately for Venus, questions about her birth records have surfaced, and those questions have forced her to relinquish her crown.

With Venus dethroned, the title of Miss Philippines-Universe 2010 would normally have gone to first runner-up Dianne Necio.
