But only we fans are not happy with the results but the candidates themselves agreed that Karen is a deserving winner. Even other countries leveled up their selection process for the Miss Eath pageants. Ordinary people who watched on TV also agreed that Karen is a very deserving winner. Maybe we are just into the stereotype of a beauty queen that she should be the most beautiful of them all. But you know, beauty pageants have evolved. Just like in 1994 that Sushmita edged the superbeauty Carolina Gomez because Sush gave a very good answer in the final 3.

Yeah, Karen's win is hard to digest.
But as we all know, beauty pageants nowadays evolve. Beauty isn't just enough to win. And it is not Karen's fault. The judge (most of them are non-Filipinos), maybe.
Aanhin pa ang beauty if the brain is empty? Karen maybe for you, is not a typical beauty queen material. But if you look at her and hear her talk, you will be amazed. The woman is full of substance and elegance.

Ewan, I can't blame foreigners who continue bashing her and the miss earth itself ,I even can't defend them from massive bashing. Sana may or june na ang pageant para mapalitan na agad ng new winner.

Philippines won 4x in Miss Earth then you kept on bashing. Then why not bash Miss Tourism where Philippines won 4x as well?

the very best example of a colonial mentality... just because other or first world nationalites bash Karen, you joined the bashing as well. do you think by bashing Karen, you lifted your status as one of the first world citizens? bashing your own shows signs of insecurites as a filipino.

Yes you are right. But due to passage of time there are pageants born. But if you are old fashioned, how come you don't recognize Miss International and Miss Asia Pacific? Because I think Im also old fashioned but I knew Miss International and Miss Asia Pacific back then than Miss World. Miss World was not that popular in Philippines during my childhood. In the modern time as now, only Miss Earth that is worth up there. Miss Earth was just lucky to be recognized at a young age after surpassing the number of delegates in Miss International

You actually don't have to defend her... Just not joining the bashing bandwagon is a good start.

Honestly??? You asked someone who was raised in AFRICA why they don`t recognize Miss ASIA Pacific??? Your answer is in the continents...
South Africa has been sending Miss South Africa to both Miss World and Miss Universe for many, many years. I think that is why I only paid attention to the Big 2. No offence to any other International pageant, but South Africans in general talk about the Big 2 only, because very little coverage is given to the other pageants. I sometimes have to wait for the leaderboards to see what the South African representative looks like!!! (So I need to keep my fingers crossed that they will make it into the selected group!!)
For a couple of years South Africa would send the official Miss South Africa to Miss World and another girl will be chosen to represent the country in Miss Universe. Representatives to other international pageants still receive very little, if any, exposure!!
I do have to stress that I did mention that it is my PERSONAL opinion on the so-called Big 5. For me, there will always only be Miss World and Miss Universe: In South Africa THE BIG 5 are the Leopard, Buffalo, Elephant, Rhino and the Lion!!

I agreed with you. Only MW and Miss Universe. If I remember correctly, after 2000 all the winners from MW and Miss Universe both had a chance to meet their countries' leader (president or PM) except USA and China. I know pinoy here always discredited MW and credited ME, but the truth is MW and Miss Universe are highly recognized and respected from over the world. The TV news from the country I live right now showed Miss Universe and MV competitions and winners, including winners' personal info. But they never showed any info of other beauty pageants.
In terms of other pageants, I feel MGI is getting better and better. I hope MI should be operated by another country.
