Miss Philippines, Venus Raj, landed 4th runner-up at the recently-concluded Miss Universe pageant. Had she answered well in the final question, she could have won the crown outright. But her response to the final question was simply ridiculous to say the least.
Venus could have easily said that growing up, she made the mistake of thinking that poor people don't have the right to dream big. But as she saw the need to rise above poverty, she studied hard and dared to pursue her ambition in life. And through hard work and great determination, she was able to become a beauty queen and to represent her country in the most prestigious pageant in the world.
Perhaps, it is time that the Philippines uses an interpreter in the final question segment of the Miss Universe. Obviously, the fear of answering in English gets the better of our representatives. It is sad to come so close only to lose in the end.
