Wow. I can’t believe it. At first I just read about it and thought the transcript was just modified. But hey, I heard and watched it and it’s true. It was her. Our Miss World this year is not someone to be proud of. I wonder how will she react when she saw the recorded video. It’s a “beauty contest” after all.

To Janina, you really had confidence and true faith in yourself.

To the judges, here’s a question for you… What was the role you played on the contest? and what is the role you are playing for the Philippines?

Here’s the Binubuning Pilipinas Q&A transcript.

Paolo: Janina, how are you?
Janina: I’m fine.
Paolo: Alright, so you won two of the major awards - Best in Long Gown, Best in Swimsuit, do you feel any pressure right now?
Janina: No, I don’t feel any pressure right now.
Paolo: Confident! Alright! Please choose a name of the judge.
Paolo: We have Miss Vivienne Tan.
Vivienne Tan: Good Evening.
Janina: Good Evening.
Vivienne Tan: The question is, what role did your family play to you as candidate to Binibining Pilinas?
Janina: 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… 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 top 10. Hmmm, so… but I said that my family is the most important persons in my life. Thank you.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Hi everyone! Happy New Year!

We Filipinas have achieved a lot the past year. A lot of Filipinas have started blogging and we are damn proud of it. 2007 also gave birth to the FilipinaImages project, this project aims to re-launch how people around the world look at Filipinas, we Filipinas are not about mail-order brides or online-porn stuff. We Filipinas are powerful women, we are loving mothers, we are sexy and smart, nature-loving, adventurous… the list of wonderful attributes is never-ending.
Also this year, Dine’s blog won 2nd place in the Influential Emerging Blog of 2007
And just recently, there’s Charice Pempengco making waves not only in South East Asia but in the US as well. These are just some of the good things that happened this year. Let us pray of more good things to come this 2008.

To make things more exciting, Cuatro Cantos will be raffling out a Belle de Jour Power Planner. This power planner is the ultimate power planner for the Filipina, it comes in a very chic design, black cover with stylish image. Read More

We got a nice Year-Ender tip for bloggers from Karlo, the man behind PinoyBlogero.com, one of the most emerging blog of 2007 in the Philippines. And I think he had his post already.

And I think this would be my last post for the year. (My wife’s post to follow.) But I think it’d be better if I end the post with another easy-to-win blog contest. What do you think? My first contest got 3 entries and for me, it’s still a great success. And I wanna have another success before the year ends.

Let me raffle another laptop bag now. Read More
