But then she insisted that Maxine should focus on clinching the second highest rank, which is the first runner-up. Who knows, the winner might not fulfill her duties due to inconsistencies with her immigration papers or her character behavior. In that case, when Maxine Medina ended as the first runner-up, she will definitely be the next in line who will take the winner's place after all.

5 Interesting reasons why Gloria Diaz say Maxine should not win</div>
 
1. Host country issue: Gloria Diaz believes that as a host country, the host delegate is responsible for serving as the usherette of the event. In this case, Maxine Medina will take more than one responsibility as a flag bearer for the Miss Universe beauty pageant and as a host for the event. As a host, she should always give way to other candidates the chance to experience a once in a lifetime opportunity to win the crown. This is a better way for her to fulfill her duties and responsibilities as the host delegate for the 65th Miss Universe beauty pageant.

2. Prevent scandal: From the past major international beauty pageants, there were host countries that experienced scandal. This is because their delegate won the beauty pageant competition being held their home court. Several pageant followers and fanatics were and disappointed about the results from previous pageants that were stained with scandals. Pageant followers and fanatics decided to unfollow pageants who did a terrible way of selecting their winners due to alleged conspiracy theories from the personal choice of the national directors. 
 
3. Prove that the Philippines provides a fair competition: It is always nice to see, hear, and experience a competition that is free from any allegations of scandals and unacceptable practices. The Philippine wants to show the universe that this is a confident country where competition is always hosted with a clear heart without any manifestations of corrupt allegations. Unlike other events and competitions from other parts of the world, the Philippine government will always respect the laws and the policies of the management of any competition being held while they provide assistance such as accommodation and security.

4. This is her personal opinion: As a full-fledged citizen of the Republic of the Philippines, Gloria Diaz is always given the free will to state her opinion that she may think could bring a benefit to a certain individual or group. Under the Article III, Section 4 of the Philippine Constitution, Gloria Diaz is just abridging her freedom of expression and is just utilizing her privilege to speak her mind about the 65th Miss Universe pageant.  Any people could express what they want to speak their minds for as long as they do not have any intent to cause violence, intimidation, and coercion against others. 
 
5. Her thought brings another challenge to Maxine Medina: Let us admit, we cannot please everybody. No matter how we do things perfectly, we really cannot please anyone because every person has their own preferences. The only thing is the essence of respect. Each individual deserves respect. Maxine will take this as a challenge for her to strive more, bring more surprises, and make her country proud. Like Maxine, if you believe that you can accomplish your goal regardless of the challenges and pressures that block your path, you can still do it will full dedication, hard work, and faith in the Supreme Being who can shower all blessings to help you succeed.

Are language translators in beauty pageants considered as an advantage or disadvantage?

Language translators are regarded as common practices that we see in several public events that happen within our community. In almost all beauty pageant contests, there is one thing that concerns candidates and their supporters. This is all about the presence of interpreters. In major international competitions such as Miss Universe, Miss Earth, Miss International, Miss Intercontinental, Miss Supranational, Miss World, and other pageants. There are interpreters from countries where English is not their first language. These are countries from Asia, Latin America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, and in Caribbean regions. 
 
The 65th Miss Universe beauty pageant is currently being hosted by the Philippines. Miss Universe is the most followed international beauty pageant in the universe in the modern era because there are more than a billion followers who are always anticipating the pageant event on a yearly basis. The world will now get to see how is it like to be in the largest beauty pageant fans in the world than any other country in the world. Filipino beauty pageant fanatics are already used to watching translators for delegates from various international beauty pageants experiencing language barriers. If you are organizing an international beauty pageant, expect that there are ladies who have difficulties in speaking the English language.

As Janine Tugonon's answer when she represented the Philippines in Miss Universe 2012. She says that being Miss Universe does not need to speak a specific language. This phrase alone is already meaningful enough for every ladies around the world not to be concerned having an interpreter in order to express and absorb any interests. 
 
The issue of translator has escalated due to an intense pressure towards Maxine Medina's communication skills. There is an overwhelming number of pageant critics who were not personally satisfied with the way she delivered her communication skills in front of the stage. Whenever she talks in front of the camera, critics and bashers often observe her grammar and the way she conveys her ideas in every single letter. The beauty pageant camp responsible for handling Maxine Medina were reportedly open for her using an interpreter during the question and answer portion. After all, even if the Philippines is regarded as an English speaking nation, Tagalog is still the most spoken language across the archipelago. 
 
Since the beauty pageant camp of the Philippines is aiming for perfection in order to ace the question and answer round, a translator is necessary to help Maxine make a back-to-back win. If Maxine Medina will really use a translator as decided by her handlers, this will be the first in the history of the Philippines in an international beauty pageant competition. Opting to use a translator will shut down all critics responsible for establishing negative comments against the host delegate. Maxine will now have the chance to answer the question using the language where she is comfortable with during the question and answer portion.

BENEFITS OF USING TRANSLATORS</div>
 
The language barrier is the main reason why there are delegates who really need translators to help them answer the question. There are hired translators who will be translating from their native language to English, which is the general mode of communication being used in all international beauty pageants. Translators help candidates to express their insights, ideas, and interests in a comfortable environment. Countries who are always seen using translators are the Hispanic nations, Asian nations, European nations, and African nations. 
 
Another benefit of using translator is to allow the candidate to use his or her comfort when answering the question. Being comfortable when answering question boosts the confidence level of the candidate that enables them you to answer accurately and efficiently. For example, if Maxine Medina will finally use an interpreter, she will freely express herself that can express all thoughts and insights that are relevant to reckon the question and answer portion of the pageant. If a candidate is not comfortable answering the question due to a language barrier, the question will not be answered correctly or never answered at all.

Translators are not only used verbally. The world has a dynamic way of translating other languages into their language of their own. One creative example is when the language of a particular nationality will be translated into either English of other native languages in a textual form. This means that there is an implied way of translating words of phrases from a particular native language to the general language to convey understanding between the two or more individuals or groups. There are also dictionaries that can help a person to understand the word by searching a specific word that is automatically translated. 
<div style="text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
DISADVANTAGES OF USING TRANSLATORS</div>
 
One main issue about translators is the degree of proficiency of translating the words or the full answer of the delegate. If there will be a mistranslated word or a phrase could create a severe misunderstanding between the two groups with different language. Once a translator suffers from a difficulty translating the answer of the candidate, there will be a pressure wherein words and phrases will be misinterpreted. The words will be translated wrongly, affecting the score of the candidate. Inefficient translators are often blamed for failing to translate the correct word or phrase that causes the candidate to lose the competition.

Another is the attitude of the translator. When the translator is very rude, the confidence of the contestant suddenly backdrops. This is because the arrogance of the translator blocks the desire of the candidate to answer the question confidently. Instead of being optimistic with the answer, the candidate will start being concerned with the approach of the translator, which will intimidate their thought process to change their strategy of answering the question. In the end, the candidate usually fails to answer the question in an inaccurate manner due to the rudeness of the translator even in front of the stage. 
 
If the translator has an existing sensory difficulty such as problems with their hearing perception as well as their speech, the flow of information will be disrupted in front of the stage. The translator will be having a difficulty understanding the thought due to an existing problem with their hearing or speech. In the end, they might serve as an actual failure instead of a help that should have increased the candidate's chances of winning the pageant. The candidate that usually experience this kind of situation ended up answering the question by themselves even if they are linguistically challenged.

Analyzing Miss Universe Philippines 2016 Maxine Medina's performance after the preliminary

The preliminary competition is the most crucial part of Miss Universe beauty pageant competition. This is the part where all the delegates are required to undergo a rigorous screening procedure before being selected as one of the top 12 semifinalists.

The 64th edition of Miss Universe beauty pageant was held in Las Vegas Nevada on December 20, 2015. Pia Wurtzbach represented the Philippines after her third attempt to join the national pageant (Binibining Pilipinas). After a controversial announcement by Steve Harvey by announcing the first runner-up, Ariadna Gutierrez from Colombia, Pia emerged as the rightful winner as shown from the cue card. 
 
Maxine Medina is hopeful that she could be the fourth candidate from the Philippines to win Miss Universe in her home country. Pia Wurtzbach is very happy to crown her successor in her home country, which is a once in a lifetime experience for the beauty queen. In the case of Maxine Medina, she is regarded as the most pressured delegate because she is serving as the host delegate as well as vying to make a back-to-back win for the country. The front-runners, which is observed as the most competitive delegates are mostly from Asia and Latin America. They are the delegates from Brazil, Venezuela, Thailand, Colombia, Mexico, Indonesia, Dominican Republic. 
 
Since Maxine won as Miss Universe-Philippines 2016 last April, she immediately undergoes comprehensive beauty pageant training regimen. Her beauty pageant mentors rigorously studied her communication skills, catwalk skills, styling, body built and posture. For over 9 months, Maxine worked so hard to transform into perfection like what audience saw during the preliminary competition on January 26, 2017. Maxine did not let perfectionist bashers to intimidate her while brushing her way through the runway and displaying the masterpiece by proving doubters about her skills and ability to possibly replicate the win of Pia Wurtzbach.

Preliminary Introduction</div>
 
Maxine Medina initially appeared on stage by wearing a casual pink dress with a high slightly on the side. What is interesting is her strong fan base, which is one of the most appealing parts of the show. She introduced herself in front of billions of fans on stage at the venue and around the world via satellite and social media live streaming by stating her full name. Upon vocalizing her name, "Maria Mika Maxine Medina, Philippines", the crowd went ballistic as they cheered the host delegate.

The second part of the program is the swimsuit competition. All the girls are grouped into ten, and from that group, the ladies are divided into three and two. Maxine Medina was grouped with Paraguay and Peru wherein she was called as the third in that sub-group. Maxine obviously showed her superb catwalk as she was with the two other delegate while they appeared in front of the stage. After Paraguay and Peru made their catwalk, it was Maxine's turn. 
 
Maxine took at least four steps forward as the sea of Philippine supporters loudly cheered her in front of the stage. Maxine made a unique twirl with giggling aura. The most interesting part of her twirl is her contagious bubbly character that personifies her vibe during that moment. The position of her hands also highlighted her twirl, making it very unique than other delegates who just made an ordinary twirl during the swimsuit.

With her ball-shaped bun hairstyle, her overall look was perfect, transforming her aura into an elegant and fashionable charm on stage. The green gown embellished her fit and alluring body, creating a silhouette look in front of the audience. However, the most interesting part was when she started walking on stage that changed everything. Maxine's gown came into life whenever she is in motion, making it bouncy that stimulates the visual perception of the audience looking at her. It is not clear if Maxine will use the same emerald gown during the coronation night of Miss Universe. 
 
Overall: Maxine Medina's full performance during the preliminary presentation is 9.5, which is more than a very satisfactory score. She is guaranteed to penetrate the semifinalist spot during the coronation day of the 65th Miss Universe.

Do you agree to pay another tax when buying a new electronic gadget such as laptop or smart phone?

For us, it is always fun to have a new gadget because it is a way for us to provide ourselves a tangible present as a form of reward for all the good things that we successfully did in our daily routine. Having a new property enables us to have a possession to represent our accomplishments in life. By having a simple property, we take pride to show some memorable items that enable us to value our recent accomplishments. As a right, we seek to ensure that our valuables can best represent milestones that became an important part of our lives. But then, what if there will be a new law that imposes taxes on all gadgets that might limit ourselves from buying the most important thing to assist us in our daily living? 
 
PBA Partylist Representative Mark Aeron Sambar is now eyeing to propose a bill that will impose a tax on electronic gadgets. The representative indicated that this is a new measure to impose new taxes towards vanity. Instead of implementing vanity taxes, the lawmaker wants to translate the name of the tax into gadget taxes since there are many Filipinos who are fond of buying electronic gadgets. By imposing a new tax, the bill seeks to increase at least 5% increase towards electronic gadgets purchased by anyone across the archipelago. This only applies on individuals who are purchasing excessive appliances or electronic gadgets as part of their daily lifestyle.

Electronic gadgets are referred to any products that are operated electronically. These products are made up of electronic chips and accessories that are powered by the electricity. The most common electronic products are cellular phones, iPod, tablets, laptops, and other wireless devices. Appliances are electronic devices used for accomplishing household tasks as well as for entertainment. Television, Refrigerators, radio, vacuum, oven, microwave and water dispensers are just some of the common items you can find usually at home. 
 
After the recent announcement for planning to impose new taxes on gadgets, Mark Aeron Sambar indicated that the implementation is only applied to the higher class of the society. Aside from the elite class of the society, the middle-class members of the community will be also affected as they are also observed to be using gadgets. The tax does not target the poor because it is only applied to individuals or groups who are observed to be buying more gadgets and appliances. In this case, they will be taxed with gadget tax. The new law will only be applied after it will pass the deliberation of both the lower and the upper house. 
 
Right after announcing his intent to impose gadget tax, several lawmakers responded to Sambar's intent to file a new bill, stating that the proposal is too broad to identify what particular household will be targetted. Another question is about the specific products that should be imposed with a new tax, which is an important consideration to make the bill more specific. There were no other lawmakers who backed Sambar's plan to propose a new bill for imposing taxes for every tax payer who just only want to purchase their favorite gadget. The proposal made headlines to mainstream media including social media networking websites online.

Negative Response 
 
The proposal generated mostly negative responses from the public. Most respondents commented that the issue could cause a conflict of interest with the basic human right. Since the law does not mention specific gadgets and appliances, it is clear that the bill is regarded inappropriate for ordinary users even if they do not fall under the upper-class households. As a person living in a society, people always have the right to purchase whatever things that they feel that it is comfortable with their lifestyle. This means that imposing taxes on electronic gadgets and other appliances will inhibit any individual to waive to their right. 
 
Most netizens online raised their concern whenever this tax will be imposed. This is because there will be a limitation for them to access online services such as internet and online transactions. The proposal to impose new taxes on electronic gadgets are way too unacceptable because it is simply going to disrupt their socio-economic activities as well as personal lifestyle. As a constituent of the society, we have the right to do whatever issues or activities that could bring an essential benefit for as long as we abide by the rules of the law.

Concern to small and medium enterprise 
 
Many owners of a small and medium enterprise are concerned over the proposal of this particular bill. Entrepreneurs are shocked that the bill will surely affect their business as well as the human right as well. This is because imposing new taxes on electronic gadgets will essentially cause changes with their sales and investments. Large-scale companies are also concerned because the law will impact their manufacturing business. Imposing new taxes on gadgets affects the manufacturing business of electronic products. There will be lesser products that will be produced if this particular law will be passed. 
 
The Philippines is one of the main producers of microchip products being shipped all over the world. There are large manufacturing businesses who are registered to the names of a certain entrepreneur. If the law will be passed, the owner will suffer more burden for having his socio-economic profile to be dismantled by a law that negatively impacts their business, personal activities, and financial security. The proposed bill's intent is to target the higher class societies; however, the problem in the country is about the full implementation of the law. Since the Philippines lacks infrastructure, the law will not be efficient for imposing to far-flung areas across the archipelago.

Concerns towards over creation of new laws 
 
Since this issue has been raised in mainstream media, Filipinos are already expressing their opinions over the number of new laws that are regarded as concerning. This is because there are new proposed bills that are causing a conflict of interest to other existing laws that could negatively impact the rights of any citizen. Businesses and financial securities of an individual, group, or an enterprise will be greatly affected by the newly proposed law. Most respondents say that the proposed law will not be approved by either the lower or the upper house. 
 
Most respondents indicate their concerns about the need to amend existing laws that are still efficient to the interest of the society instead of creating new bills that impose more tax. There are provisions that need immediate amendments since there are already existing facts and failures that are needed to be changed. Other lawmakers also suggest that the need to improve infrastructure is regarded as an immediate measure to improve transportation services and facilities across the archipelago and not by just thinking about imposing new taxes on random facilities.

The Philippines made an extravagant hosting for the 65th edition of Miss Universe. With more than 7,500 islands, which was upgraded from 7,107 islands, Miss Universe delegates were lucky to have a once in a lifetime experience by visiting several tourist hotspots across the archipelago. All delegates had the chance to witness the natural wonders of the Philippines while vying for the Miss Universe crown. 
 
There are three categories in order for a delegate to penetrate the semifinal round. The first is the interview portion, which will anticipate all corners of interactive skills from each delegate in a closed-door panel interview. The second is the swimsuit round, which will require all delegates to display their carved bodies in a two-piece swimsuit by Yamamay and styled by Chi. All delegates should display their perfected catwalk skills and then confidence in front of the stage while the judges will then give a score. During the gown competition, this is the portion where fashion designers will display their collection and masterpiece that was worn by the delegates during the preliminary round. 
 
After the delegates displayed their fashionable masterpieces by displaying their gowns and swimsuits in the runway through their runway skills and stage persona, the scores will then be tabulated by the staff. Tabulators are licensed accountants from one of the respected accounting offices in the United States, which is the Ernst and Young firm. Even before the coronation night starts, tabulators are the only staff who will know the results basing from the performances of the delegates during the preliminaries. This time, there will be 12 ladies who are lucky enough to be called as part of the semifinalists, which will be called during the first part of the program on January 30, 2017.

Caris is a silent slayer. Imagine a young child with a lollipop with a high pitch giggling tone. That's how sweet she is. Caris may not have been on the radar than other ladies who often post anything on their social media accounts, this lady could definitely slay the pageant. Caris prefers to compete silently but will bring a supersonic and megalithic bomb, just like what she did during the preliminaries. She walked smoothly during the swimsuit. Her stage presence is vibrant. But one thing about her that makes her more interesting, which is her sweet and bubbly aura, which is hazardous for the other candidates. Watch out for this woman.

The girl from the land of Samba has become "La Bomba" during the preliminary round. When her country was called, she instantly exposed her exquisite aura and then dropped a bomb in front of the stage that created an invisible force that pushed the audience backward and took a deep breath. That's how it feels like when watching her, so you better bring your seat belt during the coronation night. Raissa is one of the few consistent ladies who rose to prominence right after she was crowned as Miss Universe Brazil. Her stage presence is very strong enough that she could swallow other delegates in front of the audience.

This woman is the real big thing! Andrea could definitely replicate what Ariadna did last year, and maybe she could bring home the third crown for her country. She showed a superb walk during the swimsuit and the gown competition. Andrea proved that she is one of the best Latina to beat. Facially speaking, she has one of the most charming auras in the competition with a perfect smile and a sweet face. Her confidence level is also high, which elevates her competitiveness during the preliminaries at the Mall of Asia Arena. It is no longer a surprise if she will be called as one of the semifinalists.

The towering fortress of Caribbean is another force who perfectly did well during the preliminary competition. The good thing is, Sal made her height as her best advantage because it literally made her presence become consistently prominent. On stage, smaller candidates should not stand beside her because her presence and towering aura could negatively electrify their presence, making their stage aura weaker. With just a sprinkle of good personality, she nailed both the swimsuit and the gown competition. She currently works as a fashion model, making an advantage point to translate her runway skills on stage.

Kezia knows how to play her cards well. Keke always shows positive vibes with other candidates on stage. She made the right decision to make her tone darker, making her a standout. She is very tall, confident, and knows how to play the runway. Her statuesque physique is another asset that makes her interesting candidate. During the swimsuit, she bounced her hips right and left and then paused with a confidence in front of the audience. Keke has a controlled tone during the gown competition while displaying her elegant gown during the preliminary.

Speaking of exposure, Kristal is considered as the most experienced woman in this edition of Miss Universe. Her previous international beauty pageant experience really helped her to shine really well during the preliminary round of Miss Universe. Kristal knows how to use every posture to help her get noticed further. Speaking of smiling with her eyes, Kristal is one of the few who maximizes her stage presence with her smize. Her eyes are her main weapon, which could literally shoot anyone when she is on stage. If Kristal will look directly at you, there is a sudden feeling of being frozen because she already transformed you into a stone because you will be mezmerized by her overall package in front of the stage.

Miss Universe beauty pageant is an international event organized by the Miss Universe Organization in cooperation with IMG/WME. The event will search and judge the most beautiful woman in the universe, hoping to be the next role model for the younger generation of today. 
 
As excitement heats up, a lawmaker in the Philippines wants to request the Malacanang Palace to declare the coronation day of Miss Universe as a special holiday. The purpose of this request is to allow all pageant patriots including the younger generation to experience a once-in-a-lifetime experience. As the Philippines rarely host a very big international event, declaring the day of the coronation night will take a new chance for pageant fanatics not only from the Philippines but also from other parts of the world to witness the crowning of the new Miss Universe winner during the coronation day at the end of the month. It would be a pity if most Filipinos and international pageant fanatics will miss the most important day of the year, which is the day when the new Miss Universe will be crowned.

The reigning Miss Universe is Pia Wurtzbach, who clinched the third crown for her country after more than 40 years. Pia Wurtzbach is very grateful for crowning her successor in her home country, which is currently hosting the international beauty pageant event. The 65th Miss Universe beauty pageant will be broadcasted by several local and international television networks from around the world. 
 
Why Miss Universe is an important annual event in the Philippines? The reason behind is the immense number of beauty pageant Filipino fans who always cheer and support their local candidates. The Philippines sends delegates to participate in numerous international beauty pageant events held around the world. Everytime that the country sends their delegates, pageant fans automatically express their support to further boost the confidence of the delegate participating in a certain international beauty pageant. On the past years, the Philippines also triumphed numerous international beauty pageant titles. The latest Filipina to win a major international beauty pageant title is Kylie Verzosa who was crowned as Miss International 2016 in Tokyo, Japan. 
 
Quezon City Representative Winston Castelo wants that Filipinos should participate by watching the event and supporting the annual beauty pageant. The spectacle will be held in SM Mall of Asia Arena, Bay City, Pasay City, Metro Manila on January 30, 2017. In western countries, the Miss Universe Organization will be held on January 29, 2017, due to the differences in time zone wherein the Philippines falls on GMT 8+, which has similar time zones with Singapore, Beijing, Taipei, and Perth. Winston Castelo hopes that the Malacanang will approve his request, which makes January 30, 2017, a very special day for the Filipino people as well as pageant enthusiasts to enjoy the most memorable day in the universe.

Double Pay benefits for workers 
 
Employees working in the private sector will be delighted when the Malacanang declares Miss Universe coronation day as a special holiday. This is because private institution offers a double pay during special holidays, which is beneficial to the employee's compensation and benefits. The decision to allow the coronation event as a special holiday motivates employees to work harder to improve their socio-economic integrity or lifestyle. Several businesses will be required to apply a double pay policy to their employees. 
 
However, not all private enterprises will not apply this particular policy to their employees. There are private institutions, especially in the business process outsourcing division that does not apply this particular case. Contractualization plays an important factor why some companies never apply double pay policy to their employees. But in any situation, if the Malacanang Palace will reconsider Representative Winston Castelo's request, then this scenario will be beneficial for the working population in the Philippines.

No Classes during that day 
 
If the Malacanang will definitely approve Castelo's request, there is another reason that the youth will have a reason to be happy during that day. Usually, all classes in pre-school, elementary, high school and college levels are suspended. Employees working under the government will also have another reason to take a day off during the coronation event. This is the best time to bond with families, friends, and relatives to have more time together by watching Miss Universe beauty pageant either live in MOA Arena or via live telecast at home. 
 
However, employees working under the emergency agencies will have no choice but to work. This includes hospital workers, the police force, firefighters, army personnel, media industry workers, and transportation personnel. But still, workers under these agencies can still have the chance to watch Miss Universe by turning on their television at work. Only if their tasks are done and during breaks to prevent any ethical or legal misfortunes that could happen at work.

Pageant fanatics could possibly witness a back-to-back win 
 
Do you feel that Miss Universe Philippines 2016 Maxine Medina could really win a back-to-back? Pageant fanatics and supporters of Maxine agrees. Pageant fans are also rooting other foreign delegates such as Venezuela, Colombia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, USA, Brazil, Barbados, Sierra Leone, and Malaysia. Since the pageant is currently being hosted by the Philippines for the third time, Miss Universe Organization, IMG/WME, and foreign international pageant supporters from around the world will witness the full force of Filipino support to beauty pageants. 
 
However, some pageant analysts think that Maxine's possible back to back win can tarnish the reputation of Miss Universe Organization. The reason behind is that there will be an accusation of white-washing or hand picked controversies, which could degrade the image of Filipinos to other countries. But most pageant analysts have a high expectation that Maxine will perform enough during the preliminary and final's event as a way for her to reach the top 6 or even to top 3 spots.
