2013 Miss Universe Gabriela Isler with Donald Trump

MIAMI, Florida (The Adobo Chronicles ®) – Real Estate mogul and owner of the Miss Universe Pageant Donald Trump announced last week he is running for president of the United States. In his kick-off speech, he said that if elected, he will build a “great wall” on the border and make Mexico pay for it because Mexico is sending immigrants who are rapists, drug dealers and criminals.

Now, Trump is eating his own words and is suffering from constipation.

Univision, the leading Spanish-language network has announced that it is firing Donald Trump. The network will not be airing the Miss U.S.A. Pageant scheduled for July 12 because of Trump’s “offensive remarks about Mexican immigrants.” “Neither are we airing the next Miss Universe Pageant,” it said.

Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries in South America constitute the largest share of audiences for the highly popular international beauty competition. Representatives of Mexico and other Latin countries consistently fare very well in the competition and collectively have the most number of Miss Universe crowns.

There is growing speculation that Mexico and the other Latin countries may not be sending any representatives to the Miss Universe Pageant this year because of Trump’s racist remarks.

That would spell big trouble for Trump because without the Latin candidates, the Miss Universe Pageant would not generate the kind of huge audiences that it usually enjoys.

Because the Philippines has very close ties with Mexico and most countries in South America, local Philippine networks are also contemplating about not airing the Miss Universe Pageant.

Stella Marquez-Araneta, head of the Binibining Pilipinas Charities which holds the Philippine franchise for the Miss Universe Pageant, told The Adobo Chronicles® that she plans to eliminate the Miss Philippines-Universe crown and try to buy the local franchise for the Miss World Pageant instead.

Is this the end for Miss Universe?

Moscow, Russia – The preliminary competition for the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant unfolded today at the Vegas Mall in Moscow, as contestants from 86 countries paraded in their “national costumes.”

The Huffington Post reports: “Alexandra Fribourg of Sweden honored her country’s Viking past in a metallic bustier and a sword. Miss Belgium Noémie Happart looked like she was dressed as the Devil complete a spiky red spear, and Miss Great Britain Amy Willerton wore royal robes so sexy we bet even Prince Philip would have a thing or two to say.”

But when all was said and done, Miss USA Erin Brady brought home the bacon by winning the best national costume award. She wore a red, white and blue robot attire that would make American fans of “The Transformers” proud and ecstatic. “The Transformers” is a blockbuster Hollywood movie directed by Michael Bay and produced by Steven Spielberg.

As in any competition, there are winners and there are sore losers. Many contestants — especially those who remained faithful to their authentic cultural tradition — questioned whether Miss Brady was even a real person, or a robot. Others came to the defense of Miss U.S.A., saying that she was an epitome of what the United States of America is all about. “Everything in America revolves around comic strips, Hollywood and Las Vegas-style circus,” they said, “so Ms. Brady’s costume accurately represents the good old US of A .”

The Adobo Chronicles learned from reliable sources that Ms. Brady almost didn’t make it in time for the competition because she was held for days at the Moscow airport, while security and customs officers inspected her unusually huge luggage which contained boxes and boxes of unassembled parts of her robot costume.

The finals of the Miss Universe Pageant will be held November 9 at the Crocus City Hall.
