10. Janina San Miguel, Binibining Pilipinas (2008)
Question: “What role did your family play to you as candidate to Binibining Pilipinas?”
Answer: “Well, my family’s role for me is so important because there was the … they’re, they was the one who’s… very… Hahahaha… Oh, I’m so sorry, uhhmm… My pamily… My family… Oh my god… I’m… Okay, I’m so sorry… I… I told you that I’m so confident… Eto, uhhmm, wait… Hahahaha, uhhmm, sorry, guys because this was really my first pageant ever because I’m only 17 years old and ahahaha I, I did not expect that I came from, I came from one of the top 10. Hmmm, so… but I said that my family is the most important persons in my life. Thank you.”
Despite oozing with confidence before being questioned by judge Vivienne Tan, Janina San Miguel’s Q&A portion is truly one to be remembered when it comes to the quotable quotes she has fumbled. Up to this day, many Filipinos give reference to this brief yet crucial moment in Janina’s life.
She went on to take home the crown but later gave it up due to her grandfather’s death.
