If you're not glued to your TV sets you might be missing this story.  About a girl I barely recall as a small kid in a quet countryside playing with her older sister.  Barely 4 feet this small girl hay nice tan complexion, ordinary hair and well a pair set of eyes that is outstandingly noticable.

15 years later she competed in the Bb Pilipinas, won and became the country ambassador and an entry to the most prestigious pagent in the world.

Not having to take home the coveted title and crown, no one can deny... She owns the night.

"Maliban na nga lang sa sagot nyang in a major major way hahaha"

But Then maybe just because the world so loved her it does not mean she deserves fully the crown.  One must fight for it, there are panel of judges, there are criterias, there is a competition.

When her answer fell short you can hear the gasp of the global fanatics who are it watching as she thanks Mr. Baldwin. "Haaay! Sayang!"

But then looking at it in another way.  It does not matter if she bags the crown or not but looking back on her small story...  You have done well Ms. Raj, you have made us proud.
