Jenina San Miguel
watched the highly recommended clip of binibining pilipinas 2008 regardin jenina san miguel. and the response of ruffa gutierrez - former binibining pilipinas representing the banana republic in the miss world pageant. here's some after thoughts.
ok fine, jenina does not seem like the type of girl who can power up a nuclear reactor with her brain power. and i agree with wat the former binibining pilipinas said regarding dat physical beauty shouldn't be the sole deciding factor of an beauty pageant. but when did speaking english become synonymous with having a brain? to attack someone's intellect by saying they can't speak proper english is absurd to say the least.
everything in life is about choices, even in a country where 95% of population can speaks english, u can still choose not to speak english. its thoses choices that represent one's character's, that is also an important character in being a beauty queen, among other things.

You talked about choice. Well, she could have chosen to answer in Tagalog. But she chose to speak English... badly. And that's why we laugh at her.
I concur with JC. Btw, it's claiming 95% of the country speaks English that probably caused this unfortunate event. If we can all be honest, at least a fifth of the graduating batch of our own high school are unable to speak in a coherent, much less articulate manner in English. It's thinking we can and that we in fact do speak English that has forced us to do so, when speaking in Tagalog is perfectly acceptable.
