"What is one big mistake that you've made in your life and what did you do to make it right?" - William Baldwin's Question to Venus Raj during 2010 Miss Universe.

Maria Venus Raj (Philippines) - Miss Universe 2010 4th Runner-Up

her answer: “In my 22 years of existence, there is nothing major - major problem that I have done in my life. Because I’m very confident about my family and the love they are giving me. So thank you so much…”

MISS UNIVERSE 2010 OPENING

People!

Let's stop bashing about what or how Venus answered the final question. Ok, maybe that's where she faltered and got it wrong, kayo man ang lumagay sa katayuan nya baka you did the worst.

Let's all be proud and contented with her placement. Getting into the TOP 15 is hard enough, what more yung TOP 5?

And yes, Venus did put our country again in the headlines aside from the hostage crisis that happened yesterday.. SO LETS ALL BE PROUD AND HAPPY FOR HER. VENUS RAJ was an excellent representative for the Philippines. She did everything right from DAY 1.

Now we know what Miss Universe is looking for. TO BPCI, please continue the streak with our future delegates...THIS IS A GOOD START for PHILIPPINE PAGEANTRY.

Congratulation Miss Raj! And thank you...

The Philippines last won the Miss Universe title way back in 1973 when Margie Moran took the title. But the first Filipina to win the crown was Gloria Diaz in 1969.

Prior to Venus' fifth-place finish, the last time the Philippines placed in the Miss Universe was in 1999 when Mirian Quiambao was named first runner-up.

Venus' road to Miss Universe was not an easy one.

After winning as Bb. Pilipinas-Universe on March 6, 2010, she was dethroned by the Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI) because of "inconsistencies in her birth records." But the decision was reversed on April 10, 2010 and Venus, who was born in Doha, Qatar, was reinstated as the country's representative to the Miss Universe.

Three days before the Miss Universe pageant, Venus lost a very close friend. Bb. Pilipinas-International 2009 Melody Gersbach was killed in a vehicular accident in Camarines Sur. It was actually Melody who convinced Venus to join Binibining Pilipinas.

Venus, who hails from Bato, Camarines Sur, is a veteran of beauty pageants. She first won the title Miss Bicolandia in 1997. The following year, 2008, Venus was named Miss Earth Philippines Eco-Tourism. This year, she won Bb. Pilipinas-Universe.

Malacañang welcomes the fourth runner-up finish of Venus Raj in the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant in Las Vegas, saying her "success...is a bright spot in an otherwise sad day for our country," an official said Tuesday.
