One Of The Dumbest Answers To A Pageant Question and Answer Portion (Bb. Pilipinas 2008)

I don't have to wonder now why the Philippines hardly ever win international pageants these days. Watch this video of Janina San Miguel in her final round of question and answer in the Bb. Pilipinas Pageant (Miss Philippines). It is just about the dumbest thing I have ever heard, but she still placed anyway. She's going to represent the Philippines in the Miss World pageant - Good luck! You'll need it! Take an interpreter with you too.

But don't take my word for it, see for yourself...



Here's a transcription, I feel like adding insult to injury

Paolo Bediones: Janina, how are you?

Janina San Miguel: I’m fine.

Paolo Bediones: Alright, so you won two of the major awards - Best in Long Gown, Best in Swimsuit, do you feel any pressure right now?

Janina San Miguel: No, I don’t feel any pressure right now. *smiles*

Paolo Bediones: Confident! Alright! Please choose a name of the judge.

Paolo Bediones: We have Miss Vivienne Tan.

Vivienne Tan: Good Evening.

Janina San Miguel: Good Evening.

Vivienne Tan: The question is, what role did your family play to you as candidate to Binibining Pilinas?

Janina San Miguel: Well, my family’s role for me is so important b’coz there was the wa- they’re, they was the one who’s… very… Hahahaha… Oh I’m so sorry, Ahhmm… My pamily… My family… Oh my god… I’m… Ok, I’m so sorry… I… I told you that I’m so confident… Eto, Ahhmm, Wait… Hahahaha, Ahmmm, Sorry guys because this was really my first pageant ever b’coz I’m only 17 years old and ahahaha I, I did not expect that I came from, I came from one of the taft 10. Hmmm, so… but I said that my family is the most important persons in my life. Thank you.
