Bb. Pilipinas Controversy

Paolo Bediones: Janina, how are you?
Janina San Miguel: I'm fine.
Paolo Bediones: Alright, so you won two of the major awards - Best in Long Gown, Best in Swimsuit, do you feel any pressure right now?
Janina San Miguel: No, I don't feel any pressure right now.
Paolo Bediones: Confident! Alright! Please choose a name of the judge.
Paolo Bediones: We have Miss Vivienne Tan.
Vivienne Tan: Good Evening.
Janina San Miguel: Good Evening.
Vivienne Tan: The question is, what role did your family play to you as candidate to Binibining Pilinas?
Janina San Miguel: Well, my family's role for me is so important b'coz there was the wa- they're, they was the one who's... very... Hahahaha... Oh I'm so sorry, Ahhmm... My pamily... My family... Oh my god... I'm... (Paolo Bediones: Pwede ka magtagalog,ok lang) Ok, I'm so sorry... I... I told you that I'm so confident... Eto, Ahhmm, Wait... Hahahaha, Ahmmm, Sorry guys because this was really my first pageant ever b'coz I'm only 17 years old and ahahaha I, I did not expect that I came from, I came from one of the taf 10. Hmmm, so... but I said dot my family is the most important persons in my life. Thank you.

Sometimes, I don't know what's happening to this jungle of a country. A faulty quasi-dictator/cheater for a president, a shaky/slumped economy, law makers who break the laws they make, and relentless traffic. ANO BA NAMAN YAN!

Why was I born in this country?!

I was watching the whole pageant on TV, courtesy of my mother and sisters. And when the judge blurted her question, I was expecting something elegant and stimulating from the aforementioned contestant. Unfortunately, it was the other way around. During the entire fiasco, I was covering my ears and pretending not to hear anything. Too bad the whole nation saw the said disaster and posted every single detail on Youtube. Haha. :)

Seriously, she should have followed Paolo's brilliant advice and ditched the whole "trying-hard-to-speak-in-full-English" skit. Not to mention that her answer was pathetic, irrelevant and definitely pointless. To think that she's in college majoring in Communication Arts. Grrr. How fitting for a candidate with that major. Ughh. I am, of course, with faults myself but even a 5-year old kid could've given a better and brighter answer with tons of substance, material and relevance. Come on! What was she thinking?!

What really bugged me was the impression she made on Chris Tiu. Hmmm. I bet he was laughing his brains out with the crowd during the whole cockup. Haha. :)

Anyways, I just wish that before the 58th Miss World Beauty Pageant on October 4, 2008, at the Ukraina National Palace in Kiev, Ukraine, her prominent flaws would hopefully turn into stunning/deadly claws that would grab the coveted crown and bring pride to the Republic of the Philippines. That would actually silence every single individual about her Binibining Pilipinas flop.

And that includes me. :)

Coffee, Janina?
