I have always admired Miriam Quiambao, In 1999 even before she competed for the Miss Universe I had rooted for her and she had been my bet in the local Bb. Pilipinas Beauty pageant. Not to mention the fact that my friend Cecile from Ireland is friends with her and they did went to the same church. I have always thought that her beauty is flawless and if ever I would like a girl her type would be it, which of course will never happen as I'm as Ghey as one can get.
Through the years since that time I had watched and observed Miriam's career, from being a Beauty Queen to TV presenter. I had always hoped that she would somehow be very successful in her endeavors, but as luck would had it, it never came into fruition. Maybe because she never did excel in the paths that she had undertaken, In short she have had a kinda mediocre career at that. Not that really good in hosting or acting the two avenues that she had chosen.
But I still find her really beautiful and had always wondered why for the love of God she did not bag the Miss Universe crown.
Then recently Miriam is again in the headlines but not for something good but rather for her unsavory comments on LGBT. I think it actually started with Arnold Clavio's show where she mentioned and insisted to another guest Society of Transexual Women in the Philippines (STRAP) Chairwoman Naomi Fontanos that her truths based on her Christian belief that God only made Man and Woman and that Naomi should see the truth. And after Naomi's rebuttal Miriam still insisted that her truth came from the Lord which left a bitter after taste on me after i watched it.
Miriam then guested on Boy Abunda's talk show basically repeating the things she said earlier. I was willing to accept it and leave it at that as I believe everybody is entitled to his/her own opinion but to my dismay and other LGBT's dismay she then went on to twitter to broadcast the unfathomable declaration "HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A SIN BUT A LIE FROM THE DEVIL". Which left me really angry and my jaw dropped literally. WTF does this woman mean, that I am living a Lie all this years LOL....
But seriously that comment made me look back on the 1999 Miss Universe Beauty Pageant and somehow got my answer to my question why she lost. And indeed I would have to say God knows the truth about Miriam that's why he did not give it to her.
Truly we have respected Miriam and she was even gracious to attend the TV programs, however, she lost her grounds with the choice of words she tweeted.
ReplyDeleteI respect her thoughts, but the manner it was delivered was simply distasteful...truly not aiming for World Peace!
