I just could not explain it. I saw
several updates about the Mr. Lotus 2013 but I didn’t feel the drive to blog
about the pageant. By the way, this pageant, dubbed as “Battle of Campus
Crushes,” was a search for pretty Caviteño's from 16-22 years of age.
While I have already decided not to blog about
the pageant, a recent event prompted me to change my mind. This is about their
highly criticized Q and A portion with a candidate who ended up as first runner
up in the contest. My source gave me this text:
Q: Ano ang mas nauna itlog o manok?
The contestant answered:
Syempre itlog po,sino po ba ang
naunang tao sa mundo?
Di ba si Adan at si Eva,ano meron
kay Adan? Di ba itlog? Un po.
The contestant ended up as a first
runner up. My take on the issue. While
the decision of the judges is always final and irrevocable, I wonder how did
the judges rate the contestant’s answer. While the answer was very witty, it
was very, very wrong. While he wanted to ground his answer on Biblical grounds,
it fell short! Because in the story of Creation, it is very clear that the chicken
came first. God first created the animals before He created the first man. Adam
was only created on the 6th day when everything has been created.
Therefore, the answer is obviously
very wrong. Perhaps the judges did not know about it. Or that they were aware
of it and gave him a low score, thus the first runner up.
This blog is open to the explanation
of the organizers…only, if they have the balls to answer it.
