Bali, Indonesia – The United States was aiming for the “grand slam” at this year’s Miss World beauty pageant, focused on winning the crown to add to the Miss Universe title won earlier this year by Miss U.S.A. Olivia Culpo.
Olivia Jordan (yes, another Olivia), U.S.A.’s entry to this pretigious pageant held over the weekend in the Indonesian resort of Bali, made it to the top 10 contestants during Saturday’s finals, but not to the top 5.
Miss Philippines, Megan Young, an early favorite in the competition, went on to win the title, the first ever by a Filipina in Miss World’s 62-year history. Miss France was first runner-up and Miss Ghana came in third.
Less than 24 hours after the pageant finals, the U.S. filed a formal protest with the Miss World pageant organizers, saying that Young should be credited as a U.S. entry as well. Young was born in the United States to an American father and Filipina mother, but moved at age 10 to the Philippines where she is currentlly a model, actress and television host. “Technically, she is also Miss U.S.A,” the protest document indicated. “Even her surname is very American. Can’t she be at least declared as a ‘dual contestant’ by virtue of her dual citizenship?” it added.
Miss World owner Julia Morley has not returned calls from The Adobo Chronicles seeking comment on the U.S. protest.

None sense ang reklamong yan. Kaya nga sumali sa Miss World Philippines para irepresent ang Pinas di para irepresent ang PH at US. Tska bat ngayon lang yan nagrereklamo kung kelan nanalo?

Please America who ever behind this protest right after the pageant, think about it. Give respects to your own contestant (Miss America) who join the pageant, it shown that you never do support in winning or loose. Cause claiming like this it was a clear proof of you thrown her like a garbage after her effort. Had shame and guilt that you choose her to represent your country (America) and obviously turn back and grab the claim for Miss Philippines World. What a pathetic action. Now i believe to Obama about American Exceptionalism but it turns to be Alarming this time, very sad to say.

I’ve heard and read some stupid things in my life. And this is one of the more pathetic ones. So what if “Young” is an American, English even, name? We’ve got Spanish surnames in our country, Chinese ones too, and a whole host of others, but one does not hear the Spanish or Chinese claiming our people as theirs irregardless of where they were born and what nationality their parents have. Spain is friendly, China just wants to own the entirety of the South China Sea.
This also sounds incredibly like what a lot of Filipinos enjoy doing whenever we find someone with ties to our country doing well in another. We claim them and their success as our own. How the mighty have fallen.
The US of A, should chill. Should just sit back, relax, and know that the likelihood of a Philippine representative winning the top spot again is very very low.

Sir, i don’t know if I get what you are trying to say when you said “the likelihood of a Philippine representative winning the top spot again is very very low” pls. tell me that you are just kidding because what I understand is that You are trying to underestimate our likelihood to grab the crown again.
