I believed the organizers should provide a legitimate Interpreter next time other than asking the host Priscilla to interpret for Miss Brasil. I find it unfair for Miss Brasil coz Priscilla Mereilles can hardly speak English! Kudos to Ms Philippines! Miss Tanzania is equally deserving to be Ms Earth. What really won Ms Philippines the crown is her skills in using the English language..the other 3 struggled expressing themselves. They could have won the crown if they are as good as Ms Philippines in speaking the language.
The organizers should look for legitimate professional hosts. Yak. really no to those hosts. For one to be fluent in English does not mean that you can be a good hosts. Hosting a beauty pageant is a profession not a t talk show.
The ENGLISH fluency advantage of Miss Philippines should not be taken against her because the proficiency of Miss RP is an advantage that can achieved by the other contestants as well. Miss RP won because her answer had a substance and dynamics. She's very articulate and her answer was partical and substantial. The contestant must take an inititative to learn and speak English since they're joining an international pageant. The proficiency of Miss Philippines in English should be given much credit. Infact, it is unfair for those candidates from NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING nation (Philippines and India) to speak english all by themselves than to those who has an interpreter because the interview was made easier for them. The victory of Miss RP should not be regarded on how skilled she is in speaking English but because she has the potential of winning the title.
I agree to what EUROPEAN HERE said. The victory of Miss RP is not about she's better in english among other finalist but because of the content of her answer not mentioning about her beauty. Filipinos has an exotic beauty and I personally believe that Philippines has the most beautiful women in the world.
to KARLA HENRY:
You deserved the crown.Enjoy your triumph amidst all the cut-throat issues confronting your victory. I hope you're true with your environmental advocacy.
Congrats!
Miss Earth Philippines really did deserve to gra b that award. She has many qualities than other countries don't have . It's a matter of her concern to en vironment, her beauty, her prfound knowledge. There's nothing to talk about for. B e gorgeous, be inspired, be one of us.
