BEAUTY CONTESTANT BOO-BOO'S [stolen from INQ7]

Beyond beauty

COMPETING in beauty contests used to be a breeze-all you had to do was be beautiful. These days, the process has become so complicated: not only must you look like a million bucks, but you're also got to be brilliant, articulate, concerned about weighty issues, and have the ability of remaining as cool as a cucumber as everything roils and boils around you!

Take the recent "Miss Philippines Earth" competition. Aside from wearing wee bikinis and taking sexy poses, the contestants had to articulate their concerns related to the environment-right then and there, off the cuff, without enough time to organize their thoughts.

The situation was made even more stressful and daunting by the contestants' awareness that many thousands of people were watching them on TV, ready to giggle at their lapses.

Add to that the implied preference for their responses to be made in English, which made the pressure even greater for contestants who were not all that articulate in the King's English.

So, it was entirely understandable that some contestants verbally flailed around, fumbled and clutched at weak grammatical straws as they answered questions related to environmental problems and issues to wit:

"We must take care of our mangrove, as what we take care of our mangrove, as what we take care of ourselves and our motherhood!"

"Too many vehicle on the road, so the result is, it cost air pollution."

"It's one of the most primate species in the whole world."

"Despite her being a very courageous woman, she is very intelligent." (Can't a woman be both courageous and intelligent?)

"In Zamboanga, we see how the Balikatan exercises is exercising with our fellowmen."

"I want to invite all of the listening to our cause."

"To stop the denudation of our remaining forests, we must enforce the 30-ban year log." (Huh?-Oh, you mean the 30-year log ban!)
