Janina San Miguel : Bb Pilipinas – World 2008

Janina, Janina…

Nope, this is not going to be a post of ridicule. You have had enough of that already. Tama na!

Look at the bright side:

  1. You are now an instant celebrity
  2. Your videos are among the most watched vids in Youtube. (no kidding!!)
  3. You already have a captured audience once you battle it out for the Miss World title. You can use this as an opportunity to show ‘em your stuff. Minus the wrong grammers, errrr…., grammar. (it is not so bad to have wrong grammar!)
  4. In spite of almost everyone saying that you are a disgrace , think about this : When you are in the Ms. World pageant, I am sure that more than 50% of those who ridiculed you will be rooting for you. If there is internet voting, we will vote for you!!!
  5. You are still young. At age 17, you are allowed a few mistakes here and there. Some young people your age are making worse mistakes than speaking poor English.
  6. We, Filipinas are not perfect. But we can decide and do our best to improve ourselves. Show them that you are a true Filipina : able to accept criticisms and willing to improve your self.

Perspective lang… Improve yourself… then show ‘em!

  1. I think u should have put that in tagalog na lang para mas lalo nya maintindihan. Good Luck Janina!!

    congratulations to Janina! I don’t want to sound harsh, but please… whoever’s coaching her or preparing her for the Big Event of the Miss World pageant…please pay attention on her communication skills especially when speaking in ENGLISH…I don’t remember us having a representative in any of the international pageants who needed the assistance of an interpreter (not even the gorgeous Miss Marquez)… don’t let her be the first! BEING SEVENTEEN IS NOT AN EXCUSE!
