Janina San Miguel, Miss Philippines World 2008
Early in the competition of Binibining Pilipinas World 2008, San Miguel had won special awards for Best in Swimsuit and Best in Long Gown.

As part of the question and answer portion of the pageant, San Miguel was asked by the questioner Vivian Tan, "What role did your family play for you as candidate to Binibining Pilipinas?"

San Miguel responded:
Well, my family's role for me is so important, because there was the wa-- they're, they was the one who's... very... haha... Oh I'm so sorry. Umm, my pamily... my family... Oh my god. I'm... Ok. I'm so sorry. I... I told you that I'm so confident. Eto, umm, wait... Hahahaha! Umm, sorry guys because this was really my first pageant ever, because I'm only 17 years old and... haha... I, I did not expect that I came from-- I came from one of the tough 10. Hmmm. So... But I said that my family is the most important persons in my life. Thank you.”

Despite the incoherence of her answer, she went on to win the competition. The criteria for judging the winner of the pageant allotted 80 percent to physical beauty, leaving just 20 percent to be divided evenly between personality and intelligence. Pageant host Paolo Bediones defended San Miguel, saying "I admire her for not buckling under the pressure and for being as blatantly honest as possible". However, he added "No matter how badly she may have performed in the Q&A, she couldn't have lost much considering she had a huge head start in the scores".

Video clips of her response have been uploaded to YouTube and garnered over 3 million views.
You must watch it to believe it!

My thoughts: Just WOW...LMAO!!!!

I think that is just an excuse to prevent having another embarrassing moment...lol

Especially competing for Miss Universe, you don't want to embarrass yourself xD

yep... I thought so too... but one of her personal reasons was the death of her grandfather... maybe she's really close to him... but maybe the pressure of representing the country is the real reason coz right after her booboo a lot of the Filipino international beauty titlists are into her to improve her public speaking and her English... well, what do one expect in a pageant that gives 80% for physical beauty!

Another fault could be given to the pageant organizers too for putting the pressure of answering in English wherein a lot of the contestants in international pageants don't answer in English just so they can express themselves more eloquently...

RE: Janina San Miguel, Miss Philippines World 2008
I always believe intelligence always outwits beauty...in most cases, I thought this pageant is biased seeing the 80% goes for beauty and just 20% for intelligence...

How can you have someone represent your country that can't even answer a question correctly...lol
