    She won Miss Pilipinas-World. There were other winners. Kind of confusing.


    UST alumna wins Bb. Pilipinas crown

    By Ed H. Pangilinan, Contributor

    As expected, the results of the Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageant Saturday night did not please everyone.

    The annual pageant continues to draw more rant than raves, especially from pageant fans, because of the controversial and often mediocre winners year after year.

    This year was no different. During the announcement of winners, the crowd at the Araneta Coliseum cheered for a minute, then jeered after host Paolo Bediones completed reading the names of the winners.

    Jennifer Barrientos, from San Mateo, Rizal, was crowned Bb. Pilipinas-Universe and will represent the country in the next Miss Universe pageant which will be hosted by Vietnam. She is an alumna of University of Santo Tomas, where she earned a degree in tourism.

    Patricia Fernandez, 22, was named Bb. Pilipinas-International. When asked who she admires the most, she said “Mother Teresa.” And then she made a gaffe: “I believe all of us should do her.” The audience went wild and booed.

    Realizing her mistake, she corrected herself and added, “I mean, all of us should do what she does.” It was unclear whether she knew Mother Teresa died in 1997.

    Fernandez will be the country’s representative to the Miss International, which will be held in Japan in November.

    Pageant neophyte Janina San Miguel emerged as Bb. Pilipinas-World.

    Few probably thought the 17-year-old mestiza from the University of the East would end up wearing the crown after she also embarrassed herself during the question and answer portion. She mumbled a lot and kept apologizing to everyone and reasoning that it was her first time to join a pageant. She finally spoke in Filipino to finish off her tough initiation. Earlier in the proceedings, San Miguel won Best in Swimsuit and Best in Evening Gown.

    lmfao.. wow, and its the same pageant. These women are sad, but hot. Why do they all have to answer the questions like they have it memorized and yet they don't really say anything.

    I have no clue.

    I also find it curious that my contributions to the tip jar have been ignored so far...

    English is usually taught in school, sure, but they still cannot be considered native speakers because it is not the emphasis (as evidenced by her switching later). Their minds are in Tagalog or Ilocano or any number of regional variations. The real fun is when conversations incorporate multiple languages so one sentence can have Tagalog, Ilocano, English, and Spanish.

    filipinos ftw :)

    btw, I dunno why it was spelled with a "p" instead of a "f", there's the old joke that filipinos/FOBs say there "f"s and "p"s backwards.

    where all my fellow filipinos/filipinas at?

    the fact that they didn't provide an interpreter means that they all assume that contestants can understand and speak english. clearly they let her in because of her appearance. Shame on the organization, not the contestant.
