Will the real 2013 Miss World please step forward?
LONDON, Great Britain (The Adobo Chronicles) – Filipinos have barely recovered from that momentary stripping of the Miss Universe crown from Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach when yet another of their beloved international beauty queens — Megan Young — was stripped of her Miss World crown.
This time, the stripping of the crown did not come from a pageant host but from a website (timetobreak.com) that lists the top 20 most beautiful Miss World title holders of all time.
Not only did this site snub the stunning Young in its list of 20, it also took away her crown and put it on the head of Miss Cameroon, Denise Valerie Ayena.
We all know for a fact that the 2013 Miss World was Miss Philippines.
QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – All is set for the grand homecoming of 2015 Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach. The beauty queen arrives in Manila on January 23 to a rousing welcome by her Filipino fans.
It is a packed schedule for the new Miss Universe, ranging from press conferences, television shows, a ticker-tape parade and many other public appearances.
One thing that’s not going to happen, however, is a previously scheduled exclusive interview with Wurtzbach on Kris Aquino’s morning show, Kris TV. It was supposed to be the first one-on-one television interview with Wurtzbach in the Philippines.
Kris, the sister of President NoyNoy Aquino, announced today that she had disinvited Miss Universe from her scheduled appearance on her show.
The talk show host, who claims to be the “Queen of All Media,” said her decision to snub Wurtzbach came immediately after the new Miss Universe was interviewed on a live radio show in New York where she was asked about the rumors that she was dating the Philippine president.
“That is so no. It’s so funny,” Wurtzbach said during the radio interview.
That response by Wurtzbach hurt Kris, who just months earlier, interviewed the then newly-crowned Miss Philippines-Universe. During that interview on the show, “Aquino and Abunda,” Kris asked if Wurtzbach was dating her brother. She then promised Wurtzbach that she would be a good “sister-in-law.”
“I cannot believe Pia would embarrass me and my brother,” Kris said. “From now on, I will not have anything to do with her. I am canceling my exclusive interview with her on my show.”
When The Adobo Chronicles informed Wurtzbach about Kris Aquino’s decision, the ever-graceful Miss Universe simply said, “I understand how she feels, but I’m not going to lie. I wish her all the best.”
Miss Universe photo that went viral. Inset: some of the cookware gifts from FilAms
NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Miss Universe Organization gave Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines a $300,000 crown adorned with expensive gems, but it apparently can’t afford to loan the new Miss Universe a clean, decent cooking pot.
A photo posted on the Miss Universe social media site showing Wurtzbach, a culinary graduate, preparing a Filipino home-cooked meal using an old, dirty and rusty iron cooking pot immediately went viral.
The humble Filipina beauty didn’t seem to be bothered or complaining. But Filipino Americans across the continental U.S. had a different take. They were enraged that their beauty queen was not being treated in a royal manner.
In just hours after the photo went viral, hundreds of packages arrived by Federal Express and UPS at the Manhattan apartment of the new Miss Universe. The packages contained new, expensive, and designer cookware for Wurtzbach to use.
“I am overwhelmed and feeling so loved,” Wurtzbach said, but I can’t really use every single cookware gift that I received. I’ll most likely donate most of them to charity.”
Gracious as usual, this new Miss Universe. Worthy of the crown. Worthy of all the love and admiration.
