Venus Raj shared her thoughts on this notion about her
Miss Universe 2010 4th Runner-up Venus Raj reacted to the notion that she started the Philippines’ Top 10 streak in the most prestigious pageant in the world.
A decade ago, Venus represented the country in the Miss Universe pageant held in Las Vegas, Nevada. From that, the Philippines’ representative were able to reach the Top 10 level of the pageant.
Because of that, many perceived that Venus was the one who opened this opportunity for the country to be known again in the world of pageantry. Within that period of time, the Philippines got the title for Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach and Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray.
Based on the article from ABS-CBN Entertainment, this topic was brought up when Venus Raj guested on the digital talk show of G3 San Diego. It appeared that this notion has been in the mind of many people and Venus is quite aware of that.
However, she said that although it is flattering, she refused to take the credit as the beauty queen who started the streak.
“Alam mo every time na naririnig ko iyan and people would at least give credit to what I did before, I’m like, no I can’t really take the credit for these things because hindi naman talaga kasi [ako ‘yung dahilan],” the Bicolana beauty said.
Venus Raj also pointed out that for her, the reason behind the Top 10 streak is the women being sent to represent the country.
“I think the reason why we win every year is because we are also sending amazing, beautiful and intellectual women in the Miss Universe pageant. Siguro nagkataon din talaga, the Lord has a way of introducing me to people,” she said.
