Many are really disappointed.

I am happy that she won the first runner up. And I think her answer is the best among all of them. But I am not one of those people sour-graping though because she did not get the crown, they can do whatever they like and let's just be happy with the results.

Yes, I believe there is some discrimination involved. Even some American's were counting on Jessica winning. LOL, I only know Jessica. She's more famous than the champion. I don't even know that American's name. But I don't let it get to me. I know that people will succeed no matter what because of their own abilities, not because of the crown. They will be recognized. I don't think the title and the prize matters, because we know in our hearts who really won and who really deserved it. people need not sour grape about it. That's just petty.

No, I think it was a very fair decision. Miss USA gave a very smart and spontaneous answer. I even thought the answer of Miss Philippines was too short and need elaboration but this did not happen. I was disappointed by the fact that a TV news channel in the US did not mention the other winners in their report. That's disappointing.

I think Filipinos think that contests are a big deal. Take a look at American Idol contest where a Filipina Jessica Sanchez was a contestant. And whenever we lose in a contest, we always think are disappointed and we think that we are cheated in some way. Let us just accept who wins the crown. But ofcourse if Janine won the crown, we will all be happier!

It truly was disappointing, because everyone knows she gave the best answer during the Q&A portion. Although, USA's answer was also fine, Janine's had more impact. However, Ms Universe, is not just about the contest - it's also business.

No I don't think it's like that, and why would I be disappointed? That's first runner-up people, imagine that? Fifty plus candidates and you're first runner up, what's disappointing there? Let's be proud and happy Janine got it

Hi there asdomencil. Its really been a good year for us filipinos and we are blessed. This time with Janine's placing second in the Miss Universe Pageant because it is indeed a blessing to have her beauty and talent and intelligence recognized worldwide. Let us just celebrate her winning and stop thinking of what could have been...

I am quite disappointed. I thought Janine won when they were 2 remaining contestants to be called. The USA contestant has the good answer than Janine. I am proud of Janine in the pageant. Second place winner was good for us. The questions and answers must be practice. The contestant must speak English fluently. I hope next Universe pageant crown will go to Philippines.

I think people tend to over think..all i can say is let it be, being in the first place is already great.. against so many candidates. Let us just be happy and further fanning the flame of this issue will not do good..we are like becoming sore losers.

Being first runner up is already a great feat and we should celebrate that Janine had gone this far. And I salute Janine not only for her triumph but likewise for gracefully accepting victory of someone over her. That is one admirable attribute fitting for beauty queen.

Actually, we cannot say that, my friend. In fact last night as we watched the late night news, many Americans like Donald Trump were interviewed . And they definitely like Janine. However, of course the judges have their own preferences, so she came up as first runner-up. Let's just be happy that at least she came in second.

I was hoping Janine was going to win after the very good reply to the question however, it seemed that the judges though differently. I don't believe about discrimination in the Ms. Universe since Asians have always won . In fact, it has been a few years since a Ms. USA won in the Ms. Universe. We all wished for Janine to win but it seemed the judges thought Ms. USA was more deserving. Let us accept it graciously and wait for another year. Pardon me, but Jessica Sanchez is not a Filipino. She is an American like Philip Philips. It so happened that she only got a Filipina mother. American Idol is through texting and online voting and most of those who are active are the young teenagers, mostly girls so it follows that they will vote for someone as cute as Philips.

Hi friend, it is really hard to predict the result of this kind of contests. We can expect a lot, but the result is based on the judges hands. Every country persons wish that their country contestant will get the crown. We must come out from the disappointment and accept the reality

its another way of iscrimination.. no doubt about it! its obvious!

I'm watching the replays right now. Miss Philippines' answer is really amazing and it made a lot of sense compared to Miss USA's. Although most of the judges are Americans and the pageant was held in the USA, I'm still giving them the benefit of the doubt. I'm just happy that we were able to get 1st runner up and that for me is already a great achievement.

I wouldn't say that I was disappointed with Janine not with the results. All I feel right now is pride, because out of all the ladies that had join the pageant our country have been chosen as one of the final 5 and 1st runner up. That's a very big achievement already. But for us to be disappointed sounds unfair. She won a crown and a title, we Filipinos should be proud that 3 years in a row our candidates from our country have been selected to be in the final 5 and every year have been progressing near the main title of being Miss Universe. :)

Janine really should have won the crown, not miss USA. Just a thought, though. Miss Australia's answers were better than hers as well. Maybe, next year, we can finally get the crown. let us just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.

We may be disappointed because Janine didn't win, but to be first runner up it something that we should be proud of and we must be happy about that. We should stop sourgraping and don't say anything bad.We must show that we reapect the decision. After all, for us she is the winner!

I don't like when I read people's comment sour-graping. Why don't we just accept what's given to us, let them have the crown and smile. Too much effort of fighting who should have won and sour graping will make us look pathetic and craving for the title.

I don't think so. Every time we lose on something, we always have an excuse about it or people are always ranting about it. Maybe the judges really think that Miss USA is deserving. Instead of thinking that we did not win the crown, we should look on the brighter side that she was the first runner up in spite of all the beautiful women that joined the contest. She really is something and she has brought pride in this country. Congrats Miss Janine!
