A Break in the Ms. Universe Streak

     I have a negative view of beauty pageants as a disgrace to women's dignity but I can't help but watch them, especially the global tilts like Ms. Universe.This year ended the Philippines' semi-finals streak since 2010. This year would be the worst relatively. The hype before the pageant was too much I feel. I pray that this be a lesson to the Filipino beauty pageant mentality because there are many other pressing issues that merits attention. Widespread poverty, lack of food among the poor, unemployment all over the country are some of the major issues faced by the country that are more pressing than beauty pageants. 

The Philippines has consistently been a semi-finalist since 2010
