No More Photogenic Award for Philippines in Miss Universe This Year

After winning the Miss Photogenic Award in three consecutive years since 2005 via online voting, the Philippine delegate to the Miss Universe pageant this year should no longer expect bagging the "infamous" crystal trophy.

The organizers of the Miss Universe pageant finally realized that the Miss Photogenic Award is becoming a travesty every year because the Philippines has been winning it for three years in a row. This is because the photogenic award was being selected by the public via internet voting at NBC.com. And Filipinos are one of the most internet savvy (if not the most) in the world, hence, we are the no. 1 user of online social networking sites like Friendster and Multiply.

This year, it was decided that there will no longer be a Miss Photogenic award via online voting. But starting Monday, people can vote for the Best in National Costume Award via NBC.com, the official site of the network airing the Miss Universe pageant.
