  1. Agree with the auditing firm. Bigla na lang nawala ang mga tabulating firm nung iba na ang owners. So alam mo talagang they want control of the results.

    1. True. Miss the days when the scores of every judge appears on screen together with the candidate

    2. Yes, na para bang balewala na talaga scores on evening gown, pasarela, Q and A and beauty which before really were the biggest factors in judging.

    3. Well, kung sa eat bulaga nga at its showtime wala nang DTI representative sa mga contest nila dun.. napansin nyo din ba? Dati laging matik may pa “validated by our DTI representative chuva ek ek..” script before mag announce ng winner ke bunutan man yan o may tally ng judges..

  2. Heavy on the comms skills part. Yes it is after all a beauty pageant, pero hindi puro superficial lang hinahanap naman. Kaya nga may Q&A portion di ba? And it is always the determining factor in choosing the winner. Kaya magtataka talaga mga tao why the candidates with - not arguably - the least impactful answers were the last two standing? It's like we heard a whole different sets of answers ba from the panel of judges?

    1. 9:16 common sense. Yung judges mismo, ano ba qualifications nila? Mga may phd ba sila in communications? Fluent ba sila in english? Yun dapat ang questionin. Paano makakapag select ng “best” kung judges mismo hindi naman best at mga kung sino sino lang.. really has been pinoy singer na halos one hit wonder, judge? (Ayan kapwa ko pinoy kino call out ko) kase dapat delicadeza din, kung ikaw mismo alam mong hindi ka fit mag judges, why say yes?

    2. 12:36 Common sense ka din. Even some of the judges themselves raised concerns about the results so nope it's safe to say na the results didn't align with their judging. So yung implication mo na baka the judges were not able to discern who gave the best or worst answer because they lack the "qualifications" is just ignorance. Because honey it doesn't take a PHD in communication to interpret the candidates' answers. It's really really easy to "judge" that.

      They also don't rank or deliberate amongst themselves which candidate answered the best or worst. It doesn't work like that. They focus on one candidate, put in their scores, and move on to the next. The scoring is real-time. So kung evident na waley answer mo, expected naman siguro na waley din score. Nagulat ba lahat nung nag-4th RU lang si Venus Raj?

      Hypothetically, Mexico's weak Q&A had probably gotten her low scores from the judges compared to the other three or four. So that would make her rank the lowest. Almost all, if not all, pageants fans and even former Miss Universe winners alike share the same sentiments. Kaya nga Miss U-reverse daw diba?

    3. Filipinos only value Q&A because you know you can’t compete with Anglo saxons and Latinas when it comes to looks.

  3. Is she a real Filipino to even dare say these things?

    1. She's half Filipino. And why question her though? Syempre kontesera yan, nag pageant rin yan. Nanalong Miss Universe rin yan. Malamang, so many people will ask her opinion about it. Ikaw, ano bang ambag mo at ganyan ang tanong mo?

      Delete
    2. What does a "real" Filipino have to do with someone's opinion about the Miss Universe 2025? Be for real

      Delete
    3. Why.? What’s wrong? she’s just being objective. Kahit ako I would expect Ms. Cote than Athisa. It’s not bcoz we’re Filipino eh dapat Filipino din eh wala n tyong pinagkaiba sa owners ng MU. Magaling nmn tlga c Olivia than Athisa.

      Delete
    4. She has done a lot more for the Philippines than you can ever do. And to answer your question, yes, Pilipina sya.

      Delete
    5. 9:44 Ano bang basehan mo ng "real" Filipino"?

      Delete
    6. Sa tax at mga matulungan ni cat at sa ibinigay nyang recognition sa atin, i'm sure mas pinoy pa sya kesa sayo

      Delete
    7. Even if she's not a Filipino she's a miss universe winner so her sentiments are valid

      Delete
    8. Ikaw ung tipo ng tao na nde naunwaan yung message na instead mag focus sa message pero hindi.

      Delete
    9. 9:44 hindi mo siguro gets. Basahin mo ulet. Better yet, intindihin mo mga sinabi nya.. hahahah!! Wala syang maling sinabi..

      Delete
    10. Reading comprehension please. She's talking about the current issues of the Miss Universe Organization, and not about your corny issues on pageant contestants' nationalities. How dare an ignorant and incomprehensible person such as yourself ask that to a Miss Universe winner? LMAO

    11. She was born raised and educated in Australia.

      Delete
    12. 9:44 reading comprehension can be improved. Practice pa more para hindi lumalabas ang ka-oboban.

    13. yung mga ganitong comments show how people nowadays have poor comprehension. what does it matter? she said in the beginning it’s her opinion. why question her race?

      Delete
    14. Anong criteria ng pagiging REAL Filipino para sayo?????????????? She is jalf Filipino. She represented the PH in Miss Universe and WON as a Filipina. She does a looooooot for Filipinos. Nakakainis yun kinequestion mo pagiging real Filipino nya. Nagpanting tenga ko

  4. Sayang lang effort and money magpadala ng candidate jan. Ahtisa actually did well despite people's opinions na malamya sya. Ang basura ng Miss U for the past years.

    2. Mali mali spelling? Issue na sayo yung “compeition” na kinulang ng isang t at yung “surprized” na dapat s?! To be honest I didn’t notice those. Binasa ko lang ulit after reading your comment. Girl, wala sa lugar yang pagiging grammar nazi mo.

  10. Beauty pageant kase is really pagandahan not patalinuhan. Dati naman basic ang tanong sa MU, so kelangan lang witty ka, like Gloria Diaz. But again, nag eevolve talaga.. Sushmita Sen era kase nag start yung patalinuhan, kelangan may depth na yung sagot mo.. Another big factor naman is everything will depend sa judges. Magaling nga comm skills nung candidate eh yung judge mismo hindi naman fluent si english, so wala din diba? Lastly, I think ang main reason bakit ang taas ng standard at big deal sateng mga pinoy ang Q&A. Bukod sa english comms ang identifier naten ng talino, eh kase kahit mga hindi nakapag aral na pinoy kayang mag english barok man pero english pa din.

    1. Actually, madadali lang naman tanong dahil paulit ulit lang iniiba lang construction sentence. Pare pareho lang amabassador eme, woman empowerment eklabu, contribution to society chenes. Ang mahirap pag current events at di ka well knowledegeable di mo magagamitan ng template generic answer.

      Delete
  11. i remember when Sushmita Sen won, she was the dark horse. The two other candidates were more favorites but she nailed the Q&A and it’s why she won. they even say before when its the top 3 that all previous scores are erased and all 3 are on equal footing. The contest is rigged, wala na din prestige sa totoo lang. I agree with Catriona.
