The most coveted title in beauty pageant for this year was given to Miss Mexico Jimena Navaretta who has been crowned as the Miss Universe 2010. The 59th Miss Universe beauty pageant coronation night was held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA on August 23, 2010. It was hosted by rock star Bret Michaels and NBC’s anchor Natalie Morales. Eighty three (83) countries and territories compete for the title of Miss Universe 2010.
Here are the rest of the winners:
4th Runner Up – Philippines – Maria Venus Raj
3rd Runner Up – Ukraine – Anna Poslavska
2nd Runner Up – Australia – Jesinta Campbell
1st Runner Up – Jamaica – Yendi Phillipps
Miss Congeniality – Miss Australia Jesinta Campbell
Miss Photogenic – Miss Thailand Fonthip Watcharatrakul
National Costume Award – Miss Thailand Fonthip Watcharatrakul
All of the top five were competent enough for the crown but Miss Mexico might have impressed the judges with her answer in the final but most important part of the competition, the question and answer portion. She was asked “In your opinion, what is that unsupervised internet use having on today’s youth?” Here is her answer:
“I do believe that internet use is an indispensable necessary tool for the present time, and we should be very careful and watch over what our children watch and see, our teenagers’ watch and see, and we must make sure that we teach them the values that we learn as a family.”
Congratulations Miss Mexico!

AkoAyPilipino says:
Having endured public controversy on account of her late-registered, erratic Birth Certificate and then overcoming it to recover her beauty crown from BPCI in time, MVRaj could have answered W. Baldwin’s question better by speaking somewhat thus:
“I may have committed a big mistake in omitting the inelegance of my complicated origins as I competed for the Binibining Pilipinas crown. I made that mistake right by bravely declaring some sad details about my humble international beginnings. Happily, doing the right thing when it became due worked things out wonderfully and so, thank you so much to my family for all the love, for here I am tonight with self-confidence and audacity of hope to try to win as Miss Universe 2010!”
Exotic and regal Miss Philippines was No.3 in swimsuit and No. 5 in gown (same averaged rank with Miss Australia) — would she have made a different result had she touched on her publicly known imperfection? Still, making it to the Top 5 is in itself a universal honor, so… CONGRATULATIONS, MISS RAJ!
