Have our candidates become too predictable in the international arena? What went wrong that 2019 became a dismal performance for the Philippines in pageantry? Did we field the right winners to the wrong pageants, or did we crown the wrong winners to begin with? What areas do we need to improve as we go back to the drawing board? Please answer in Tagalog or "coded lingo" for suggestions to improve. You may use English if commenting only on our candidates' performances. Thank you.
