Janina San Miguel, a contestant for the Binibining Pilipinas 2008, won Miss World despite a hideously grotesque blunder: She only managed to mangle her English on national stage.
Nakakahiya (translation: embarrassing). And this is an outrage.
San Miguel, who won two of the major awards on the same event -- Best in Long Gown and Best in Swimsuit – will advance to represent the Philippines at the international level. Oh, boy.
Let me be clear about one thing. A beauty pageant is a competition based on intelligent responses, not only on physical beauty, talent, and personality. So, why the hell did she still win?!?
It makes me wonder whether the other contestants were so bad that the event's judges couldn't choose a better person to represent us. But I don't think that's the case.
This whole thing just baffles me.
San Miguel, whose confidence border arrogance, also seemed to take great pleasure for her lack of knowledge of the English language. The fact that she’s a college student from a rather prestigious university doesn’t bode well, either.
I feel deeply embarrassed just watching the clip. It’s like a slow train wreck waiting to happen. The only thing is it did!
And then, it didn't.
