Almost.
Philippines' Janine Tugunon is Miss Universe 2012 1st Runner Up, placing after USA's Olivia Culpo in a coronation night held in Las Vegas, USA today.
While Janine placed high enough, many Filipino fans have been 'sourgraping' over Janine being supposedly 'robbed' the crown, giving far better answer than Olivia in the final Q&A. In fact, many believed that Janine gave the best answer by far among the top 5.
She was asked a question by a Twitter user, as to whether speaking English should be a prerequisite to being a Miss Universe, being an international ambassador.
Crowd went wild when Janine said it is not necessary for a Miss Universe, as long as she has a heart to serve and a strong mind.
Plausible.
But many fans have been heartbroken after USA was called.
Speculations quickly spread in the net. Others said there has been a maliscious trend in beauty pageants this year. Could it be merely coincidence that USA won Miss Universe in its home turf; noting that the same happened this year with Miss World in China and Miss International in Japan?
But in a competition, they say, there will always be a winner. This time, USA got the crown. Nevertheless, Janine is winner herself, bringing so much pride to his country- a queen in her very own right.
