Select New Miss Philippines World
Philippines has a lot of beautiful and intelligent women in its population. It is quite controversial that Miss Janina San Miguel won as Miss Philippines World. While she is undeniable pretty and has excellent stage presence and skills, she is hopelessly lacking when it comes to wit and speech. Disaster is almost guaranteed if we allow Miss Janina San Miguel to represent us, Filipinas, to the Miss World Pageant. Not only will she be the laughing stock, we will all be embarrassed as a race as well.
We say give the Miss Philippines World crown to someone else and let Janina be a runner up. While walking, posing, smiling and stage presence can be taught, wit and intelligence cannot be as easily aqcuired. Definitely not in 7 months time. Please help us spread the word and convince whoever is in charge to select someone else and give our country a fighting chance in the Miss World Pageant.
People say that her English skills can be fixed by a translator. If we do this, this will be the first in Philippine history that our Miss World Representative will need a translator. Philippines was once a US Commonwealth and English is one of our official languages. Our country boasts of our English speaking population and her negative media attention will likely affect all the companies that seek to open call centers in our islands. This will mean loss of potential jobs that our otherwise good English speakers might have.
Be patriotic and send this petition to everyone you know. Her embarrassment is ours as a people too.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Please reconsider sending Miss Janina San Miguel to the Miss World Pageant as a representative to the Philippines. We believe that she will embarrass us all and will compromise potential customer service jobs that will otherwise be opened in the Philippines and be offered to our Filipino people.
Not only will her actions be a cause for lament and a huge ding on our Filipino pride but it can also affect our economy adversely as well, specially to those working in call centers and in the customer service industry.
Thank you again for taking the time and God bless you !

i dnt like the impact................
i dont think its fair to judge and ridicule her that way...so what if she decides to use an interpreter?...would that be too much of a disaster?...would that affect the whole nation?...give her a break people....its just a beauty contest....there are a lot of beauty pageants from other countries who have been using interpreters and it never affected their economy at all...why do we always have to put down our fellow citizen and be hard on her instead of being an encouragement to her?..why be so negative?...why cant we all just help boost her confidence and encourage her to shape up her grammar...i beg to disagree to one poster who is afraid that other countries will view us as being illiterates!!!...being not well versed in the english language (which in fact isnt our native tongue) wont make anybody an illiterate...i think you better consult mr. webster and find out what the word means...take off the mote in your own eye before you point your finger to other people and judge them of their incapabilities!!!....this is sick!!!...if we cant support each other, how do you think other nations will view us and respect us if we cant even respect and support our own?...just my two cents...
think about it. we need someone who will represent OUR country. we dont want to be viewed as illiterates.
Miss Asia-U.S.A. 2004, Miss Vietnam
Mo Twister: So Janina, how does it feel to win Ms. World? Janina: Thanks Mo. I feel confidence. Mo: So, where will the Ms. World Pageant going to be held? Janina: Uhhm I still don’t know… uhmm sorry, I’m not good in Geometry… Mo: Baby doll, that would be geography. Janina: ahaha, uhmmm yeah Mo: So where is it going to be held. Janina: I hope its somewhere in Europa because I want to go to France. Mo: I see. Janina: I want to learn to speak France. Mo: Uhmmm that would be French. The language in France? ok, Never mind. Janina: Ah ok. I thought France is the mmm… Mcdo? You know Fries? EVEN IN JESSICA SOHO INTERVIEW..WATCH IT!!GOSH..ALL HER ANSWER ARE STUPID...nalaglag ako sa silya ko sa lahat ng mga sagot nya
I do agree that our representative must have beauty and brains. I really do pity JANINA, she has been the new talk of the town for quite a while. At first i thought, she was just too nervous, but then again, it is still not an excuse.... For JANINA, i hope you don't get me wrong, i do not dislike you, but then, the truth is, we need a true beauty and brains for the pageant... But then again, i believe it wasn't your fault that you've won... I don't know what the judges thought at that moment...
Ms. Philippines should be representended by someone who has brains..
please don't do this to the philippines.
I agree that she cannot represent the country and Filipinas as a whole.
Yikes...! that about sums it up. I'm sending this to everyone I know.
Hopp!
