LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – There was confusion at the Planet Hollywood Resort in Las Vegas on Sunday, when the candidates for the Miss Universe Pageant were introduced to the media for the first time.
When Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach was called, reporters thought they would be meeting Miss Germany. Wurtzbach is Miss Philippines who is half- German.
When Miss Great Britain was called, Miss France came up on stage — Miss Nena France, that is.
When it was Miss Japan’s turn to be presented, reporters were waiting for her to show up. They didn’t realize Ariana Miyamoto was already on stage. She is half-black.
When Miss Jordan was announced, the media was shocked to see Miss U.S.A. appear on stage. Miss U.S.A., is, of course, Olivia Jordan.
Finally, when the name Paola Nunez was called, reporters thought they will be meeting Miss Colombia. Nunez is Miss Canada.
When all’s been said and done, reporters came away with a lesson, and a question: “What’s in a name?”
