Filipino stunner hailed Miss Photogenic in Miss U tilt


Although she lost her bid to bring home the crown, Lia Andrea Aquino Ramos on Monday morning (RP time) won Miss Photogenic honors at the Miss Universe beauty contest held in Los Angeles, California. Ramos garnered the most votes or, as the contest host put it, "the most stares" based on the results of an internet poll. Ramos, a political science graduate from the University of the Philippines, failed to proceed to the top 20 semi-finalists after preliminary judging in swimsuit, evening gown and interview categories. She donned a white Filipiñana gown and held a matching abanico fan during the contestants' introduction. The Philippines won the Miss Universe title two times, the last of which was in 1973. Miriam Quiambao took home first runner-up honors in 1999.-GMANews.TV
