I was excited when I received an invite for the coronation night of this year’s Binibining Pilipinas at the Smart Araneta Coliseum last night. I’ve been a fan of beauty pageants since Riyo Mori of Japan won the title crown of Miss Universe in 2007. That day, I wore a red and white shirt to symbolize my other country’s victory in the world of beauty. Since then, I’ve tuned in every year, wondering if Japan or my home country would take the crown again. Alas, Venezuela would take the crown three times since then.
