But to flank in the Q and A portion with an answer that doesn't make any sense at all (and not to mention her English)? That's not just funny especially when foreigners are watching it too. It's embarrassing not just for Janina San Miguel but for Philippines as well. We can accept her excuse as a first timer for her miscue but doing it in Bb. Pilipinas is too much.
We can look forward to the future with Janina's improvement but we can't deny the fact that her mishaps "might" leave a mark on Philippines' already very tarnished image.
experience? tanawa ug tutuki ug maayo ang requirements sa pag apply sa Bb Pilipinas bro...tanawa gyud ug maayo kng knanglan ba ug experience.
What is the age requirement to qualify for the pageant?
Applicant should be from 17 to 25 years of age at the time of the pageant.
What are the other qualifications for the aspiring candidates?
Single, of good moral character, at least a high school graduate, must be at least 5-foot-5-inches in height, with pleasing personality, and must be a Filipino citizen.
NAA?
AND of course, her being as a 17 yr old and first-timer is a fact...i am just disappointed that she made it as an alibi. but the fact that she already won, wa na tay mahims ana but to accept her and support her all the way nlng to the Miss World. Her winning the crown while at the same time being embarassed is just what she deserved, BUT undeserving of the crown, branded as BOGO, and pakauwaw sa world? i beg to disagree...
and now we are talking about "image"?...that a 17 yr old girl flunked the Q&A and still won? embarrasing image to the foreigners as u say? are we that twisted already to think that it could somehow tarnish our Phil image? are we that narrow-minded and short-sighted already?
yes, we should respect other's opinions here but we should respect also that some people opine that some opinions are in fact "crab's mentality"...AND IF SOME PEOPLE CANNOT ACCEPT IT. call it pride or pride chicken...
