Binibining Pilipinas World 2008 Janina San Miguel’s Answer: The Q&A Transcript
Posted by: AJ In: Beauty ()
I’m sure many of you have seen clips of this on YouTube or watched the coronation night of Binibing Pilipinas 2008 on television. And I’m sure that many of you fell off your seats either in laughter, disappointment, frustration, or a combination of the three.
Earlier, I shared my two cents’ worth on what’s wrong with Binibini so I will no longer bore you with rants about the whole joke that the pageant has become. Instead, I’ll share with you the transcript of the answer of contestant number 15, Janina San Miguel, to judge Vivian Tan’s question in the Top Ten interview portion.
Janina eventually went home with the Binibining Pilipinas World 2008 title and will represent the country in the Miss World pageants sometime in the last quarter of this year. The challenge now is for the Binibining Pilipinas Charities to coach her on her language skills. They have at least six months to do that.

Paolo Bediones: So you won two of the major awards, Best in Long Gown, Best in Swimsuit. Do you feel any pressure right now? Contestant: No, I do not feel any pressure right now. Vivian Tan: What role did your family play with you as a candidate to Binibining Pilipinas? Contestant: Well, my family’s role for me is so important. Because der was d… deyr… dey was the one… who’s very… haha… Oh, I’m so sorry. Uhm My pamily… my family, oh my god. Paolo Bediones (off-mike): Pwede mag-Tagalog. Sige lang, sige lang. Contestant: Ok. I’m so sorry. Paolo Bediones (off-mike): Okay lang yan. Contestant: I’m so sorry…I… I told you that I’m so confident. Eto, uhm, wait. Hahahaha. Uhm… Sorry guys… because this was really my first pageant ever. Because I’m only 17-years old! And ahahaa… I.. I did not expect that I came from, I came from one of TAF Ten… Mhmm… Sooo…. But I said DUT my family is the most important persons in my life. Thank you. |
I may not be an expert in the language, but I’d definitely offer my services to them for free: Active Listening, Listening Comprehension, Basic Grammar, Thought Organization, Pronunciation, and Effective Communication. I’m sure that if ever she gets in (hoping that Internet voting will still be part of this year’s Miss World), she would need these skills.
That, or we can just send Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago as her interpreter!
