This is probably Miss Philippines' nightmare at Miss International when Dewi Sukarno was a judge at Miss International for a few years. According to the myth if she was there Miss Philippines will be a clapper and Miss Indonesia will be one of the semi-finalists (for 2007 edition only). But in 2005, things changed when Precious Lara Quigaman won the pageant. Few questions to be answered:
1. Do you think the others judges overpowered Dewi's vote to seal Precious victory at Miss International?
2. Do you think merits and not Dewi's judging caused some of candidates from the Philippines make it to the semifinals?
3. Do you think there will be more fair judging and less politics if Dewi was not there?
