imageLAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – It was a heart-breaking moment for millions of Filipinos who were rooting for Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, to be crowned this year’s Miss Universe.  When the final moment came, Miss U.S.A was named 2nd runner-up, Miss Philippines as 1st runner-up, and Miss Colombia as the new Miss Universe — a back-to-back victory following last year’s winner Paulina Vega, also of Colombia.

Then, all of a sudden, the whole universe turned around a full 360 degrees.

Apparently, pageant host Steve Harvey  wasn’t wearing his contact lenses during his emceeing duties and read the wrong names when he announced the 1st runner-up and the new Miss Universe.

Quickly, Harvey apologized and said that it was actually Miss Philippines who had won the crown.

It was the most dramatic ending ever to an international beauty contest.

What followed were reports of heart attacks in Colombia and the Philippines.

MISS PHILIPPINES TO FANS AND NETIZENS: DON’T THINK, JUST CLICK!

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – When Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach won the  Miss Philippines-Universe title earlier this year, her answer to the final question on her views about Internet censorship was “Always think before you click!”

Now, just hours before she steps on stage for the finals of the Miss Universe pageant currently being held at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Wurtzbach is telling fans and netizens the opposite: “Don’t think, just click!”

She was obviously referring to the online voting where television viewers and Internet users can vote for their favorite Miss Universe contestant in real time.  In the past, viewers and netizens could vote but only for Miss Photogenic, Best in National Costume and 16th finalist spot.

The voting results will be added to the scores from the celebrity judges to determine who wins the crown. Tonight’s celebrity judges include Emmy Award-nominated actress Niecy Nash, celebrity entertainment mogul Perez Hilton, 2012 Miss Universe Olivia Culpo and football legend Emmitt Smith.

So, if you’re planning to vote for Miss Philippines, don’t bother to think.  Just click.  Vote.

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND MISS PHILIPPINES PIA WURTZBACH’S NATIONAL COSTUME

1 Comment

imageLAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – There is no giant wedding cake for Miss Philippines’ national costume in this weekend’s Miss Universe Pageant.

After taking much flak for MJ Lastimosa’s Colombian-designed national costume at the last pageant, Binibining Pilipinas Charities left no stone unturned to make sure that Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach’s national costume this time around is Filipino-designed and truly representative of indigenous culture.

Now that Wurtzbach’s national costume has been unveiled, Filipinos are united in praising the design inspired by the Philippine coral, capiz chandelier, hand-stitched placemat and the favorite Filipino food, fresh lumpia.

We wish Miss Philippines all the luck!
