Maria Venus Bayonito Raj Is An Asian Favorite For The Miss Universe 2010 Crown, I thinks she has a chance in winning Miss Universe 2010 although, we can’t really say the choice of the judges. Prior to winning the Miss Philippines- Universe 2010 title, Maria Raj won Miss Philippines Earth Eco Tourism 2008 and Ms. Bicolandia 2007.

Miss Universe 2009, Stefanía Fernández from Venezuela, will crown her successor at the end of this event tonight. Live streaming will be seen in different streaming site.

My choice ofcourse goes to my fellow Filipina , Maria Venus Bayonito Raj and I hope she won this contest and give pride to Philippines.
