OPRAH WINFREY's STATEMENT on Miss Universe 2011 about Ms. Philippines losing is a HOAX

 “I have reservations with the results. If the only basis is the Q and A portion, after having been trimmed down to 5, Ms. Philippines deserved to win. What made her different from the rest is that she had no seconds to rethink of her answer as she had no interpreter to break the ice. The rest had their interpreters and having breaks on seconds to think about their answers. Hands down, Ms. Philippines answered straight to the point.”


The statement was supposedly mentioned by OPRAH on NBC news but NBC news itself never affirmed it and NBC's website never have it on. Even Oprah's website doesn't have it. Come to think of it OPRAH is a very well known figure and an ICON which most of the people look up to. She is very well educated to give that kind of comment which would create confusion and would degrade the characters of the Ms. Universe 2011 Judges. She would never do anything of that sort.And if ever she does it's a big blow and all of the media people will be coming after her for confirmation and a follow-up interview but up until now there is no news about it that's what makes the statement questionable. 

Would you change your religious beliefs to marry someone with an opposite view?

Familiar lines? Yes! it's Ms. Philippines' Question in the recently concluded Miss Universe pageant. Since her answer received praises from people from all walks of life together with a hard feeling of why she was not chosen as Ms. Universe 2011. I decided to deviate from my usual medical blog to go with the flow.

First, I would like to congratulate Ms. Philippines for beating 85 candidates all over the world and that is already an honor. Ms. Philippines 2011 and I live in the same City and we attended the same IELTS Review Center- 9.0 NINER. I have nothing against her, so whatever I have written here in my blog is not intended to degrade her or hurt her followers.


Her answer to the question: “If I had to change my religious beliefs, I would not marry the person that I love because the first person I love is God, who created me. I have my faith and my principles, and this is what makes me who I am. And if that person loves me, he should love my God, too.” was very good and in fact an IDEAL answer for a person who lives in the Philippines with strong religious background. However, I believe that even if it is ideal it is NOT realistic.
