Maria Venus Raj Live on the Buzz: Blog Posts and Stories of Raj's Fans Matched with her Statements

 Watch it here

At exactly 4 pm in the afternoon I got home with my family from Tabaco City having gone to a wake of a relative who passed away at the age of 103. I  immediately boot the computer to update some news regarding Maria Venus Raj and her hot issue that everyone is talking about right at these moments.

On the Facebook fan site Petition for Venus Raj to remain as Bb.Pilipinas-Universe 2010 , a fan posted on the wall that Maria Venus Raj will have a live interview on the Buzz this Sunday afternoon. Fans including me rushed to ask what time would Raj appear on the show. Some fans are very resourceful and helpful that they posted links to a television streaming site for others to see it live on their computer screens.

Raj then appeared at around 5 pm in the afternoon. Boy Abunda became the person whom Venus talked to.A vtr served as an introduction to open up the issue and to welcome Maria Venus Raj on the show. The vtr showed Raj being crowned as Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 2010 and then dethroned in less than a month. It also showed a number of beauty queens who were then dethroned  specially those who has issues on their nationality and as they say Venus is the latest on the list. The birth certificate of Maria Venus Raj was also on the scene being the main point of her issues. It says that  Venus' father was a catholic Indian national having the name Vincent Raj and married to her mother. It is also said that on the record, Maria Venus Raj was born in Camarines Sur.

The interview was then started. Boy Abunda concentrated on what really is inconsistent. Raj told him that she was really born in Doha, Qatar and raised in the Philippines. This statement had proven her Filipino citizenship. Venus then told that from the start, BPCI knew about this. Regarding her birth certificate, she said that she only had  her birth certificate when she was graduating high school applying for a scholarship in college. It is indeed true that her aunt made the inputs of the record and it was released three years after her birth. When Boy asked her why did not her mother change those things, she answered with tears that her mom is more concentrated on how to let the family survive despite the situation that they have. Truly indeed that changing the inputs of public documents may require an amount that most cannot afford like that of Raj's family. She also said that why did BPCI didn't told her regarding the issue earlier during the screening. Raj also explained that she has no hard feelings with the BPCI  only that she wants to know the deep reason of her dethronement. Until now she said, she is really confused and questioning why is she dethroned easily. Raj had even no hard feelings on her father whom she never met since she was born and to her parents, she is very thankful that she is alive. 


Raj said that what really hurts her are the speculations that she was born out of wedlock. I believe, what she means is that this may be the reason why she was dethroned. Abunda asked her if there are any rules that restrict children born out of wedlock from joining the pageant; well of course for God's sake there's no any rule like that. As I see through it another thing that hurts her are the speculations that questions her self regarding honesty. I personally admit that there are really people who are not for Raj and it is true that they mention certain comments on Raj's honesty. Maria Venus Raj will really defend her crown . The interview was closed by Raj having a message for her family and thanking them. However, Raj didn't mention anything about the said  press conference tomorrow Monday.
Some viewers here at home said that she should have lawyers because her case should really be presented before the court. Raj has lawyers who are helping her now."Venus' camp will not take this to court if her lawyers don't see anything working for their advantage. So let's not stop campaigning for Venus, our Bb. Pilipinas-Universe!" this was posted by a fan on the wall of the two fan site. Until now, Venus' supporters keeps growing and growing and by that interview, it is expected that more and more people will support Raj 'til the end.
