~There we're so many hate comments and violent reactions because they think that this young gal is not deserving to win the crown coz she'll just slack off in the prestigous Miss World 2008 in Ukraine. Oh well, for me there's still a room for improvement. She needs to improve her English skills (grammar and pronunciation). I hope she can make it to the top. Take all the criticisms positively Ms. San Miguel. You can do it. 7 months preparation is enough for you to practice. Sana yung mga ibang Pilipino diyan, tumingin muna sa salamin at tignan kung marunong din magEnglish bago manlait ng kapwa niya. Sabi nga ni Melanie Marquez (Miss International 1979), "May karapatan kang magkamali sa English kung maganda ka!" Haha. Pero may papalit na yata sa pwesto ni Ms. Melanie Marquez. Hehe
