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.

Such a petty move… Can’t they just be proud that an American blood won the prestigious pageant rather than calling a protest? Remember that Meagan competed in the Philippines to represent the country and the main reason why she grown up to be what she is right now because she was raised in a Filipino way of living … a true Filipino spirit and a true Filipino heart.

If I were Miss USA, I’d deny my american citizenship and find another country who will recognize my efforts in joining this contest. Poor Miss USA, she was betrayed by her own country.
She left USA at the age of 10. She was raised and grew up in the Philippines. So the reason why she won is that her CORE VALUES (as she answered in the pageant) is MOSTLY FILIPINO.
I get the point where US is claiming her as an American. We FIlipinos do the same thing when somebody like Jessica Sanchez, Apl De Ap, Rob Schneider made it in the industry. We are proud that part of their individuality is Filipino.
But what I don’t get is that seeing articles like this saying that USA protests about her that her win should be credited as American and not Filipino just because their representative didn’t make it and the hopes of filling this year having Miss USA as Miss World 2013 and Miss Universe 2013 did not push thru.
I don’t understand why Americans are nasty, racist, narcissist and egomaniacs. Why don’t you be happy for others’ success? Can’t you just accept the fact that the world does not revolve around you? Can’t you just accept the fact that there are other people who are better than you?
America is not the only best country in the world. ACCEPT IT. PERIOD.
