		<description>Should Ms. Raj have this answer during the competition, for sure she had won the crown.. But let&#039;s also take into consideration the pressure that Ms. Rad had at that point of time.. 

Having an Interpreter is not a bad idea, i guess.</description>

		<description>Having endured public controversy on account of her late-registered Birth Certificate and then bravely overcoming it to recover her beauty crown from BPCI in time, MVRaj could have answered WBaldwin’s question better by conveying thus: 

&quot;I may have committed a big mistake in omitting the inelegance of my complicated origins when I competed for the Binibing Pilipinas crown.  I righted that mistake by personally declaring a sad fact about my humble international beginnings. Happily, doing the right thing when it became due worked things out wonderfully and so, thank you so much to my family for all the love, for here I am tonight with confidence and audacity of hope to try to win as Miss Universe 2010!”

Exotic and regal Miss Philippines was No.3 in swimsuit and No. 5 in gown (same averaged rank with Miss Australia), so would she have made a different result had she cited her known imperfection? Still, making it to the Top 5 is already a big international honor by itself, so… CONGRATULATIONS, MISS RAJ!</description>

		<description>I agree that we should stop requiring our contestants to express themselves in English. Why can&#039;t we use our national language? This will also open wider the field in Binibining Pilipinas pageants, i.e., those who are afraid their English is not up to par would be encouraged to join the beauty contest, because being fluent in English is not an indication of intelligence.</description>
