* Frances points out that the disheartening thing is not Janina's "terrible" grammar but her comprehension skills. Very true!
*Gibbs shares interesting beauty pageant stories. LOL!
*McVie wonders why she won. I wonder, too.
* Missingpoints suggests interesting ways to prevent her from joining Ms. World and save the country from probable shame. Winner! LOL!

When I was about 4 (I think), I joined Little Miss Philippines. Wooohoo! Palakpakan. May 'wanting to be a star syndrome' ako nung bata. So eto'ng naganap nung question and answer (not precise, i've yet to search for the beta tape and convert it. masaya iyon.)
Question (IIRC it was Joey de Leon who asked it): Kunwari umalis sina Mommy mo at pinangakuan kang uuwian ng doll. Kaso pagbalik nila, wala silang uwi. Ano'ng gagawin mo.
Ako(may pagkamaldita at maaaring hindi naintindihan ang salitang kunwari): Wala po. Hindi ko naman hiningi eh. Ayoko naman ng doll eh.
(Ang mga hosts napilitang palitan ang tanong para sumagot ng matino ang batang pasaway. Instead na doll swing dahil iyon ang gusto ko).
Question: O sige, kunwari swing. Tapos pag-uwi hindi ka napasalubungan ano'ng gagawin mo?
Ako: Wala pa rin. Eh wala, wala naman po akong magagawa.
Sino'ng may pagka-tanga? Ako at ang aking sagot o sila at ang kanilang tanong?

I've watched a lot of pageants live (esp. those small time pageants in our province). And yes, there are a lot of beauty-queen-wannabees like Janina. The real problem really is the comprehension skills. Putsa. Nasa Earth ka ang sagot hinugot sa Mars.
I really wonder how much percentage of the criteria is attributed to intelligence. Maybe it's just too minimal. Kasi nga kung hindi, bakit siya nanalo? If that's the case, maybe there's a need to re-package the way we handle beauty contests. Beauty na lang kung beauty. Then again, Q&A really is part of any international beauty contest. So maybe organizers should be more stringent in accepting candidates. Oh, and they should also be prudent in getting judges (baka kasi mamaya sablay rin magtanong at sablay ring magjudge). More importantly, aspiring beauty queens should be more responsible. Huwag hayaang maganda ka lang.

Kaya ka tinalo ni Aiza Seguerra eh. :))
edi sana ikaw ang nasa katayuan ni aiza ngayon
Hoy kayong dalawa! Ka-batch ko lang si Aiza pero di kami nag-tagpo ng landas. Kung kilala niyo si Che-che Sta. Ana (naging artista rin ito for a time at pinartner pa kay Vandolph, "Shake Body Body Dancer" ang trademark niya) siya ang nagpatumba sa akin :))
At kung ako ang nasa katayuan ni Aiza ngayon, malamang tomboy na rin ako :)) Chenes!
^At ano naman ang talent mo?
Kumanta. "I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadow." Haha! Humanga naman sa'kin si Tito :))
So... sa question and answer ka talaga nadale. :))
