Just this moment search for Miss Universe has over and I am very proud as a Filipino that our very own lovely and beautiful contestant (Ms. Janine Tugonon) has been announced and crowned as 1st runner up on the pageant. To be part of the pageant and belong in the top finalist is one of the greatest achievement of a certain candidate. Fortunately, every international beauty pageant, mostly all Philippine candidates will be luckily included in the top finalist, top 10, mostly in top 5 finalist.
Well, it is been very interesting to see that even in the beauty competition Philippines and other countries especially Mexico having a close competition. Like in boxing sports, Mexican and Filipino are the more often requested match and the most awaited fight ever that seen and witnessed by all boxing fans all over the world, simply because its player obtained spontaneous and extra-ordinary talents and skills, and both were expected to show a great performances during their bouts even from those boxers who will ranked in the lowest division in the boxing federation council.
With the above competition, it will definitely encourages other countries to show their talented athletes and beauty queens and participate such kind of competition. Many countries have lots of potential and talented people most especially USA and that it will inspires us (Filipinos) and some other countries to develop our own talents. What can you say?

Ms. Janine Tugonon nailed it. She embodied a true Filipina, a warrior, confident, witty and competitive. She walked the stage with dignity, grace and poise. She fought a good fight. She is definitely our pride. I know, she captured every viewers heart as she showed everyone how strong-willed she is.

Hello there GilMegans. Welcome to myLot!
I haven't had the chance to watch the Ms Universe, so I would like to thank you for sharing this.
That was a nice thought on Mexicans and Filipinos being close in competitions like the Ms Universe and boxing. I can't say much about this but I have a thought on Ms USA. I think USA always have a rank on the pagent. Maybe because Americans are really beautiful or maybe Donald Trump is just having favoritism on USA? I'm just asking guys.. I am really not into contest and competiotions

Thank you bluespygirl for welcoming me here in Mylot and for sharing your opinion. Well, no wonder that USA has lots of beautiful women reason that they're always win in every beauty competition. However, in terms of favoritism i don't think so...Well, better luck next time...

Yes indeed that Filipinos are like some other countries that have lots of potential and outstanding quality personalities that can truly compete in the international competition not only in form of physical sports but likewise in beauty contest as well.

Yeah, another Philippine pride. Have you noticed, on last year 2010 competition Ms. Venus Raj got the place of 4th runner up, and by 2011 Ms. Shamcey Supsup got the 3rd runner up and this year 2012 Ms. Janine Tugunon crowned as 1st runner. And hopefully by next year 2013 Philippines get the Ms. Universe crown. :)
