Although we can’t really see the complete word on her sash, we know that it would look like this “PHILLIPPINES” if the –PINES is right. For all we know it might be –PINNES, –PENS, –PENNS, or –PENIS. Darn! Whoever made the sash should know better than that. I understand that everyone makes errors (typo) but what I don’t understand is, why did Jennifer Barrientos (Miss Philippines) accepted it and proudly wore it knowing that the spelling was wrong (or did she?). Hmmm… if it was me, I will demand correction immediately! (Like I would even qualify for the Miss Philippines audition).
Hopefully everything will be straightened out before the pageant. It will be embarassing for both the pageant and the Philippines if Jennifer Barrientos continues to wear that mispelled sash at the night of the main event.
Miss Universe 2008 will happen in Vietnam. The pageant will be held in Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa on July 13, 2008 and it will be aired on NBC at 9-11 PM ET. ABS-CBN will broadcast the pageant in the Philippines live via satellite.
