MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Pia Wurtzbach’s answer to the final question during the recent Miss Philippines Beauty Pageant was memorable: “Always think before you click.”

However, it didn’t really directly answer the question on what she thinks about Internet censorship. (In a subsequent TV interview, she qualified that her answer meant that we need self-censorship.)

Wurtzbach ended up winning the Miss Philippines Universe crown, nonetheless.

As she prepares to compete in the next Miss Universe Pageant which will be held in Budapest, Hungary, Wurtzbach has been advised by Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI) chairperson Stella Marquez-Araneta to have an interpreter should she make it to the 5 finalists. BPCI is the franchise holder of Miss Universe in the Philippines.

(Many Filipina candidates to Miss Universe made it all the way to the top 5 in recent years, but their answers to the final question always seemed to have cost them the crown.)

In an interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Wurtzbach confirmed that indeed, she will use an interpreter. “I will answer the final question in German.”

Wurtzbach is half Filipina and half German.

While the main language spoken in Budapest is Hungarian, a good 11 percent of its population speak German.  So it may be a smart move on the part of Wurtzbach to speak her mind in German to better endear herself to the pageant audience as well as the judges.

We wish her the best and Viel Gluck! That’s “Good Luck!” in German.

MISS JAPAN LEADS THE BETTING ODDS IN LAS VEGAS TO WIN THE MISS UNIVERSE TITLE

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Miss Universe Pageant is not just a competition to select the most beautiful woman in the universe.  It is also the most sought-after venue for gamblers to bet on their choice of winner  for the pageant in the hopes of reaping multiple returns for their ‘investment.’

Miss Japan, Ariana Miyamoto, has been making headlines for being the first bi-racial contestant to win the crown in her country and securing the opportunity to represent Japan in the prestigious Miss Universe pageant.

Despite the mixed reaction about her winning the title from within and outside Japan, Miyamoto is leading the odds to be the next Miss Universe among the bettors and gamblers in Las Vegas.

The betting odds are making many countries really nervous about their candidates  — including countries that are considered to be perennial frontrunners in the annual contest, like Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and the Philippines.

Many other countries who have yet to choose their representative to the next Miss Universe Pageant are seriously considering sending a candidate who is bi-racial in order to be more competitive.

After all, the standard of  beauty is subjective. And mixed.

 

 

KRIS AQUINO TO MISS PHILIPPINES-UNIVERSE PIA WURTZBACH: ‘I PROMISE TO BE A GOOD SISTER-IN-LAW’

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) –  Filipinos love their beauty queens, second only to their champion boxers.

Philippines President NoyNoy Aquino seems to have found the perfect strategy to recover from his sagging popularity and regain the love of  his countrymen: by dating a beauty queen.

While  Aquino has not confirmed the rumored romance with newly-crowned Miss Philippines- Universe Pia Wurtzbach, his sister, TV host Kris opened her big mouth yet again on live television and asked the beauty queen if she was dating her brother, the president.

A week before the Miss Philippines coronation night last Sunday, rumors surfaced that Wurtzbach and Aquino were spotted having dinner together at a Quezon City restaurant.

During a live interview on Aquino & Abunda Tonight, Wurtzbach admitted to Kris that she and Aquino have communication and described him as “very fun to talk to.” (Was that a ‘no, we’re not dating?’)

Kris then asked Wurtzbach to ” make her brother happy  because he needs it,”  and promised to be a good sister-in-law to Pia.

President Aquino goes on record as the only bachelor sitting president of the Philippines, but his sister might just spoil that record by  trying to ‘pimp’ her brother.

President Aquino has made headlines time and again for his love life, which often unfold to be short-lived romances with local celebrities.
