Maybe people should stop asking such “explosive” questions in beauty pageants, as some answers don’t exactly promote world peace.
“Paula Marie Napuli — a contestant in the Miss Zambales 2015 pageant held in Iba, Zambales last Saturday, April 18 — was heckled by the audience due to her ‘anti-gay’ answer in the questionm-and-answer portion,” reports Mario Dumaual on ABS-CBNnews.com.
The pageant was chaired by beauty queen discoverer Renee Salud and Miss International 1979 Melanie Marquez, held in conjunction with the Dinamulag Mango Fiesta of the province.
Napuli was asked for her opinion on homosexuality. She answered, “I don’t agree on their situation right now. It’s because I still believe in sacred… The Bible says that God is…” Napuli stopped when she the audience started jeering.
The report noted: “But Miss International 2013 Bea Rose Santiago, who sat as one of the board of judges, was quick to defend Napuli.”
Santiago berated the audience, saying, “Guys, respect No. 6’s answer, okay? It’s hard to be on stage and it is her opinion, so let her talk.”
Napuli continued, “I believe that God made man and a woman that will last forever on a sacred matrimony, and they will make a vow in front of the altar.”
In any case, an architecture student named Nicole Dichoso, was crowned winner in the pageant.
