Four Asians made it to the Top 14 semi-finalists of Miss Earth 2010 pageant held earlier tonight in Vietnam.
But sadly, Miss Philippines Kris Psyche Resus isn't one of them.
The official Top 14 semi-finalists were:
(in random order)
India, Nicole Faria
Ecuador, Jennifer Pazmiño
Vietnam, Lưu Thị Diễm Hương
Venezuela, Mariángela Bonanni
Thailand, Watsaporn Wattanakoon
Puerto Rico, Yeidy Bosques
Italy, Ilenia Arnolfo
Czech Republic, Carmen Justová
Japan, Marina Kishira
South Africa, Nondyebo Dzingwa
Russia, Viktoria Shchukina
USA, Danielle Bounds
Ukraine, Valentina Zhytnyk
It was the first time that the Filipino-owned pageant was held outside the Philippines.
But it was not the first time in its 10-year-history that Philippines didn't make it to the semis.
It already happened in 2007, when Jean Harn failed to be called as one of the semi-finalists.
Notice that the 4 Asians who made the cut this year were all recipients of special awards given prior to the finals: India - Best in Talent, Vietnam - Best in Swimsuit, Japan - Best in National Costume and Thailand - Miss Photogenic.
