- In the last decade, the Philippines won 9 international crowns, which triggered a surge in the number of beauty pageants and pageant hopefuls. But as more and more vie for attention in an increasingly crowded space, these pageants have become fertile hunting grounds for sexual predators. Undercover Asia strips away the glitz and glamour to expose how pageants are enabling exploitation to fester.

The fact that miss universe is together with the pics of animals that was hunted and killed says something how he sees this woman
The girls are just another prey for him to hunt. What a predator.
I still remember how proud pinays were😂😂😂😂
He even say,his biggest collection is miss U,and laugh😢
For a minute I thought base from the comments that he raped some contestants it seems that the dude only saying how much he funded Miss U and is proud for it, unless he made the girls have sex with him to win. 0.0
Edit: some word gone wrong.
@Albert Tusss lol I like that 🤣🤣🤣
We need more films like this to expose abuse in the Philippine pageants.
lizmorcs3223 Dont make it look that Philippines is the only one, even Thailand, Indonesia, & Vietnam are crazy about beauty pageants in this part of the World. There are just some insecure who cant produced enough beauty from their mutated population. Beauty is created by God, what’s wrong with admiring it, even Hollywood & Korean Pop celebrates beauty, Beauty is a big World industry. There are just some who are insecure here, and we dont know what is their point. Maybe they want to join North Korea! lol
lizmorcs3223 no need in Philippines alone what about country they have their own stories to tell...
Why Colombia and Venezuela WHO always won competitions eventhough the question and answer portion is not that great but still won the crown
Abuse what.?.?
walang abuse kung ginusto rin ng mga contestant lalo sa male pageant,cgurado yn
Janina San Miguel earned my respect.
She has the guts to tell the truth about the dirty side of beauty pageants here in the Philippines, to think Janina doesn't deserve to win a crown due to her answer.
Baka nagamit kaya nanalo🤭

jordan rosal walang maloloko kun walang magpapaloko. walang maaabuso kun walang nagpapaabuso. nasa huli ang pagsisisi. it’s just unfair you making it look her unfortunate case represents the whole industry of Beauty Pageantry, there will be some who will abuse their power even in other fields of Industry, but that’s not the accepted norm when you know it’s wrong.
@@La_Muerte917 you have a point, what happened to her was already happened.
In all industries merong form of abuse and it's up to us kung ititigil natin ito o magpapa abuso.
Sana hindi ka rin naabuso at kung inaabuso kaman sana matigil na, tulungan kita.
Jordan, kung pagbabasehan ang dating criteria ng Bb. Pilipinas deserve ni Janina ang crown. 10% lang ang q and a. Best in long gown sya at swimsuit.
I love how they chose different women from different backgrounds. A privileged dreamer, someone from a farflung area and someone who join pageant for her mother and money- strong and real, multi layered, inspirational characters.
Catriona's not from a far flung area or province. She's from Australia & has been living in urban Metro Manila.
that's literally what this person said DIFFERENT backgrounds@@d.l.c7456
It was so brave of Janina San Miguel to speak up in front of the camera about her dark experience in pageantry 👍
I don't see the merits on killing animals for sports, it's actually disgusting.
Agree
Yep
And many times the animals are tied down
Maybe its because you didn't know they pay large amounts to kill certain animals for sport. The money they receive goes back to the governments system in increasing the population of the animal killed. The only animals killed for sport are animals that refuse to breed, or animals that harmed other animals.
I know! I’m sure some of them were probably endangered too :(
I didn't hear this documentary mention how dirty Chavit is. His son was once caught in HK carrying illegal drugs. Normally, this warrants death penalty but since he's the son of Singson, he got away with just jail time and he even came back and won a local position in his province.
Also, the Singsons are known to be a massively corrupt and incompetent government official. Just look at the poverty rate of his province against much money he has. I don't think there's any mystery on where that money came from.
Disgusting.
bou path. Thai politicians aren't any better. Just look at how many coups you've had in the last 30 years and you'll see how greedy each side is.
We all know our politicians are too corrupt..
bou path yeah rich accent culture that stole from their neighborhood and claimed it as there own...and you would knows which neighborhood I referred to...ur today city even used to be ur neighborhood country lands...don’t understand why they don’t create their own things and just copy other but claim it as their own and even accuse the original owner who spends time built and research but the end just for you to stole....sorry for saying this that make ur country looks awful but u didn’t rich in ancient culture not scoffing ur country but saying the truth instead......didn’t hate ur country but don’t just said things that is not true...( maybe true in ur opinion but not in history )
Word
so true
As a South African, who is well aware of the sad reality our big 5 animals, plastered on his walls, are going extinct.
The fact that this man can disgracefully show off his trophies (which apparently include the women as well, which is a whole other debate in itself)
I have grown up always knowing these big and majestic creatures and how special they are to me and my culture in South Africa - they are so important that they are printed on our money, the world's precious paper.
I am sad that a man with such cruelty and disgrace running through his veins gets to live a lavish and rewarding life, yet the people who are fighting for these animals often live in poverty.
I find people like this disgusting - and he probably knows it too, which is why he tries to cover himself up with models surrounding him, beautiful women, private jets and other money rich resources.
I am sick to my stomach - and the fact that he's PROUD of this all makes me sad to call him a part of the human being species.
Yes. As someone who is has so much respect to animals, I find this truly disgusting. I've been to his museum is Vigan Ilocos Sur. If you think the photos are the worst part, oh let me tell you, those animals were taxidermized and are on display in his museum along with his photos.
Picking up a gun, aiming it at the animal, pulling the trigger, IS NOT A SPORT.
Kenneth Ho thank you man I really don’t see the point
yeah, its hunting, they just kill it like they are killing cow or pig for human consumption, that is what you call food chain, or law of the jungle,
I don’t recall people eating hippos, tigers, rhinos and elephants.
@@kennethho8512 well im sure you will recall tiger eating humans,
Kenneth Ho Exactly. Maybe sport if he faced the animal while totally naked, like the animal too.
Male pageants are worse than female pageants in terms of indecent proposals.
Agree. Watched an independent film tackling this issue. Made me think, what really are the purpose of the pageants?
@@shenggaibabiera7545 for me it's like competing in sports, you got the crown as medal. As a pageant fan, I would be proud whenever a representative of my country wins. It's like achieving an Olympic gold.
The guy with the baby... is he even making that much money from winning in pageants to make it worth it?
@@PungiFungi i guess so. Winning a pageant will make you famous eventually gaining more projects like modelling and product endorsement.
It is actually a bikini open not a legit national male pageant. I watched a live reaction video from Missosology regarding this one sided video early this morning. The moderators gave their reactions and opinion about it.
I highly doubt Chavit used his own money, he most likely used govt money for his own gain.
alreadythen1 Fake news eh, I bet you also dont know if he’s into Gold mining trade.
Bingo. I though the same thing.
Alam ko naging head siya dati ng PCSO. nanalo kaya siya sa lotto?
As we all know during Erap time. he admitted that he is the Jueteng Lord. yes he is into gold mining, that is the front of his business. As we all know that he is the Gambling lord and other kind of illegal activity in our country. Decades of being a gambling lord will not make you so much money? as well as a politician?
@@alonaggregates2179 yup, perhaps he was into money laundering the reason he is into some legal "business" to "wash" his money.
2:12 “But of all the animals here, this is the most beautiful animal in my collection.. The Miss Universe. *giggles*”
This is just sad.
i can’t believe when he said that tsk tsk what a shame
Moneth Sato same 🤦🏻♀️

Derailed
I keep telling my peers that beauty pageants objectifyy women. They are JUST SOOOO IGNORANT OF THIS!
The beauty pageants in the PH involving young women from the overseas, US, Canada and other countries were often questionable a process. My niece was talked into joining, she won the California preliminary qualifying contests. The elimination process would result to $25,000 top prize in the PH. . Few days before the final, the PH organizers allowed a last minute substitution because the one representing the PH accordingly suddenly fell ill. The last minute contestant won to the disgusted contestants. I was later informed that the last minute contestant received or was paid only $5,000. It was a scam all along.
Thank you for reporting on this. Back in high school, I was often offered to join pageants but my parents were strongly against this because of the same issue. Glad people are finally shedding light on this. I heard it's worse back in my parents' day. Unless you're in control of your journey in the pageant - being finances and contacts - powerful people will always prey on you.
Is there something scandal-free in the Philippines?
@@8bittimetraveler834 lmao
@@KyleNamiteVlogs The problem are not the beauty contests. The problem is how everything is organized in the Philippines. There's a massive lack of ethics. Everything turns in scandal. The Phil government and municipalities don't even provide safety equipment to their employees. In other words, they don't care if people get injured or killed on duty. They just hire someone else, and problem fixed. Saving the face is the number one priority in the Philippines.
I hate that this may only get little attention because a lot is happening right now but this docu is really exposing the dirt behind these pageantries that has been going maybe ever since and I personally know people who are victims of the heinous acts. I hope that this sparks rage and change that has been long asked for.
The only thing I dislike about this whole thing is the reaction from some Filipinos.
They didn't get the point. They are angry that the pageantry was portrayed in a bad angle when the docu is mainly about the hidden part of the pageants.
I also hope that many will see this to open their eyes that this happens in real life. That people are taken advantaged of because they are in dire need.
@bou path sad to say but there are some Filipinos that are gullible and ignorant.
I don't know if its just me but Filipinos seem to brush off social issues and would rather enjoy the happy things than resolving the problems. Its sad.
Janina San MIguel, with your decision, you are way better than those women believed to be intelligent.
Philippines should stop patronizing pageants and focus on actual important matters. It has only become a cheap source of 'pride' for most Filipinos, but it doesn't solve anything.
I accept your opinion that Filipinos should learn how to deal the dark side and criticism. Every country has bright side and dark side when comes to problems and issues.
Moreover, thinking about fame, hubristic pride, and greatness is a dangerous state of mind, and it's rather narcissistic.
Spot on. Philippines is such a messed up country. Should focus on getting the right politicians & gear up its economy, instead of wasting on idolized, fake glam pageants.
If it makes them proud and happy, who are you to say that it should be stopped? We have different perspective in life and if you see pageants that low, that's your problem. And another thing, Filipinos dont just focus on beauty pageants, the government is not even supporting financially beauty pageants. It's the private companies who do this thing. Outside beauty pageants, Filipinos have other lives, careers, processions etc. Don't drag your bitterness here.
@@millennialinmanila5621 Sure then, indulge with pathetic pursuits. No wonder this country's in the shitter.
I would rather my country be known for Innovation, Technology, Engineers, Science than Boxing, and Beauty Pageant.
Thank you, CNA for uploading this Undercover Asia series. It's interesting to watch another perception about societal issues in different countries of Asia.
Not all dark stories cited in this episode are new to me. I've heard of them; some I've even watched on the news (like Ms. Canada's sexual harassment case). It's sad how beauty pageants are taken advantage of by perverts or sex predators.
I am especially sad by Ms. Janina San Miguel's traumatic experience. I didn't know about that. It sounds like a trauma story of a K-pop idol trainee (isolation and all).
I'm sure many of my fellow Filipinos are not happy of this episode 🤷🏻♀️ but I am glad that this dark side of beauty pageants is exposed and the stories of people affected of it are heard.
Let's all accept this reality: not all things are beautiful and dazzling in the PH beauty pageants. Acknowledging this could mean opening the possibility for a "cleaner" and sexual harassment-free beauty pageants.
I'm actually surprised there isn't that much "drama" aired when you see American pageants to be pretty cutthroat -- seems natural these things can happen in a country where there's pressure to be the best.
Yah just like kpop industry downside
Happy to see one of filipinos are open minded like u 😊
it's not only in the PH happened. but some other countries also. i'm not gonna name them Some of the beauty contestant's target is to get some money. to be able to have a good life which is not.
In times like this u need to be closed cos of covid don't be open 😁😁😁😁
Mercedes Pair is the candidate that I like the most here. She continues to press on even with her personal and financial struggles throughout the pageant. She is a true queen fighting and sacrificing a lot just to provide for her sick mother.
Drank the kool aid
Who said they are treated like a president? Rather as a celebrity
A false sense of self-worth.
Yeah. President is so di makakatutuhanan
Tama. Kaya nga tinawag silang "more like presidents".
The standard for the president has become so low, it is now comparable to beauty queens. This isn't surprising at all considering the fact that celebrities do get elected to govt positions. smh
@@cheskitooo4980 Hindi po masama mangarap. Lahat tayo may chance sa politics. Ang importante po magawa ng tama yung serbisyo publiko. Kahit sino po pwede pumasok sa politika. Huwag ipokrito.
I'm from Ilocos Sur, I've seen Chavit in reality and I grew up visiting Baluarte (zoo) I knew he was corrupt. He built a Safari where all the dead animals are preserved, I still get chills when I enter that building. I can't stay longer inside feel so suffocated sometimes. It's so sad. :(
He proudly announced his 'expensive' hobby.
OMG I'm disgusted
Honestly, the audacity
I remember not that long ago, a candidate for Ms. Philippines, a representative from Isabela quit the pageant because of same reason. She just quit. I’m so proud of her.
I'm so proud of those women, if not more of us say no and expose the perpetrators, nothing will change.
The Me Too era was very important, but our work isn't done, for every step forward, we stumble a dozen back.
But giving up is simply not an option.
All those girls and boys who will follow our footsteps, depend on us making the right decisions.
One day our fight will become theirs and we should try to lighten their burden as much as possible.
Have people watched the entire documentary? Why is it that majority are talking about Chavit when there are a lot of pressing issues served here.
Well, majority of them are just that ignorant.
Chavit is just an example of rich animals. Ignorant people like you is the reason why this rich animals thrives and continue to exists.
You want tea? because apparently Chavit was the one who convinced a certain pageant camp to be involved in this without realizing that this would paint pageants in ph in a Bad light. So here they are retaliating or refocusing the problem to chavit as vengeance. this certain pageant camp is close to a person that works for a PR company.
I think people turned it off after seeing those photos...
correct.
This is why I left the pageant world early. My Filipino mother still doesn't understand but I saw all the red flags & decided to cut all ties. I don't regret the fun experiences & opportunities that I had to work with charities & good-hearted people, but there was a multitude of incidents where I had to argue & defend other contestants because of the abuse of power, emotional manipulation & psychological abuse. I have competed locally in Canada & Internationally, won crowns, trained contestants & have judged. Not all pageants are as dark but they are the majority & are expected. I loathe to see mother's put their young daughters in these beauty circuses. Please think better of their futures & choose wisely.
Then maybe the pageant world needs you? Someone who has lived the life, understands the pit falls and dangers. Someone who can lead these young women and men, to the top without compromising themselves. The Philippines needs new people behind the scenes, people who won't abuse these hopefuls.
If you want to be a beauty queen, singer or actress you have to date men. Not only organizers but also other rich or influential people. Without doing this, it will be very hard to get anywhere. Most girls from what I understand do know this quite early on, and play the game.
In some countries such as South Korea, China or the Ukraine they even have booking agencies who specialize in offering this services. A rich man does not mind to pay 10 - 15 k to have a night with the newest beauty queen, it is nothing for him.
Good for you, you did the right thing
Oracle You shouldn’t have started it, in the first place. You didn’t win, then complain. And I thank you.
@@krollpeter that is not true especially with national beauty pageants. Maybe you are talking of those cheap local pageants.
4:05 "I think in this country we are in dire need of heroes."
Can't help cracking a laugh there 😂
Harsh but sadly, there's truth in it.
flayful so many insecure people with a constant need to feel proud. What are they so ashamed of?
CNA missed the pageant culture of the country. They never talk about Flores de mayo and Festival Queen in earlier times. Pageant is also a platform to showcase our culture, filipino designers and talents. It brings unity and message to all Filipinos to fight for your dreams. Most of us are working or living outside the country and it's nice to see that we are well represented outside Philippines. CNA Singapore instead focus on the negative side as expected.
I thought Pia and Cat, whom kabayans worship as their goddesses can help to speak out for women's right? But sadly none of them did. Just goes to show......
@@radenaditya7396 according to world economic forum gender gap report of 2020 report PHILIPPINES is number 16 in the world best in Asia for women's equality and rights. Singapore 54 then your country Indonesia 85. Stop being bitter your country also has pageant fanatics.
When your leader is Duterte, you need someone else to look up to.
Janina San Miguel said the crown meant nothing!! 💯 I've always seen beauty pageants as woman against woman. Disgusting to hear about the dark side of them, including what the men have to endure.
Time Stamp po
The lady who was laughed at by the world has no cares in the world about being laughed at. She chose well. Happy to see Janina here, now.
Bad grammar
@@whodafuqareyou.whyareuusin4513 I have just realized that. High school english. Thanks for telling. I'll keep learning.
Actually its us filipinos who laughed at her.. not the world. I dont think the italians the french, and other countries, watch the binibining pilipinas, because it is not aired in their local television.
@@raymonandrewkoh7182 im so sorry, im not in the mood that time. I was so stressed out. Have a nice day!! Stay safe❤
There is a story/urban legend here in the Philippines. It goes that a certain show had a pre-pageant party on a yacht. All the candidates were given a chance to mix it up with the judges, promoters, producers, ets. This usually meant these VIP's would be having a contestant in their bed that night, and these contestants would be assured of being in the top. Now Chavit apparently indicated to the organizers that he wanted this one particular contestant, a beautiful and young lady, in his bed when he retires for the night. It is said that after the party, he retires to his luxury yacht room. In the room waiting for him was the lady, full dressed. She immediately approaches him, gives him a hug, and says "Hi lolo! Anak po ako ni _______! Alam niyo po ba kaya niyo ko pinatawag?" (trans: "Hi Grandpa! I'm ________ daughter! Were you aware that's why you called for me?". It was his grandchild from one of his illegitimate children. Chavit supposedly was so furious that he wasn't informed of this, that he had the contestant escorted off the yacht, and then beat and fired his organizers. Urban legend, don't know if it's true.
I sadly believe it.
Chavit is a dirty old man. So it can be true.
Artificial Intelligence true

Funny, he says "girl's from the Philippines can stand it with the world" but the other element is that although local Filipinos support the pageant, the pageant scouts select girls from overseas and just use the local girls to create some kind of Cinderella illusion that could transform a poor beautiful women's life. All the recent Filipino winners of Miss World and Miss Universe, ALL, have foreign fathers and were born in Europe, Australia or America.

I'm not against half filipinos but at least they should be well versed about the Philippines and be able to speak the language of their filipino parent. And should at least have spent time in the Philippines way way way before the pageant.
What are you talking about?Philippines are sending diverse beauty since the beauty pageant was made,how about Miss International and other minor pageants that was won by the Philippines?They are Filipinos with no foreign parents and Filipinos is a nationality not a race!Do you think other countries never send women with foreign parents?USA,Venesuela,Puerto rico,thailand,Indonesia,Singapore,Malaysia and etc. are sending women with foreign blood.Get lost.
@@chelsiedouggh bruhhh they criticise us for sending mixed bloods candidates cause we already won 2 crowns in MU .... they're just jealous
My heart goes out to all those who are victimised, abused and used..poverty causes way too much problem and pain. as long s they are demand, they will always be supply. Happy for those who found light at the end of tunnel. For those still fighting, lets not give up
i was part of the Production Team in Miss Dumaguete way back 2012 2013 2014. we don't tolerate sponsors who has other agenda and who does indecent proposals. the team really made sure that the pageant was a decent, safe and worthwhile experience for the girls

No one is mentioning how disgusting that display of hunting trophies? God, male Lion usually just sleeping around and then you shot it
I am with you there.
And I was also disturbed when he said (2:13) that out of all the animals there, the most beautiful "hayop" (animal in Tagalog) in his collection is the Ms. Universe. 🤨⁉️
It irks me how he grouped the women with the animals. Wow.
Me too.. For me people kill animal for fun just animal itself. He show how proud he is to kill all this animal is disgusting & show how he is as a person.
He has hunting license. He also owns a zoo in Baluarte Ilocos. He has the money and fortune to hunt in Africa.
Lionel Layon Doesn’t make it right! That justifies nothing.
Punta ka ng africa.
It is such a shame for me, as Filipino, that this is how shallow our society is. This is the effect of poverty and corruption in this country.
it's not the people, but the rich sponsor.. don't blame it to the society because Filipinos love beauty pageants.
It’s been going on since the time of Imelda Marcos pageant era.
this is true, and part of it is due to poverty, but also obsession with western beauty ideals which have been forced down our throats due to colonization for so very long (Spanish then the USA)
@@DonMaggie Most humans are political sociopaths. Elections in every country are testimony to that. Voting for Marcos jr shows how stupid and corrupt the Filipinos are.
@@DonMaggietrue it is indeed due to poverty in the country. Malaysia, Singapore, China, Korea, Taiwan do not have high prevalence of poverty issue, and so pageantry is not a thing in these countries, or it’s safe to say that no one really care about pageant in those countries. It’s definitely a negative reflection of a deteriorating society.
Most of the comments here are so concerned about animals being killed, when "Humans" that are desperate are being taken advantage.
Sha Lacerna because humans can voice out their problems, animals cannot 🤷🏻♂️
The difference is that animals can't talk and tell you that they are hurting. Please bear in mind that people are just expressing their concern about the shocking behavior of Chavit Singson towards the animals.
Sha Lacerna Ur lack of empathy towards animals and ur stupidity is clearly showing
That's why my faith in humanity restored
Animals are much more kinder.
this is the reason why I don't like pageants.. there are more than behind the crown..
Chavit should be ashamed of himself, killing animals for trophy. One of these days karma will get to him, hopefully soon.
Day of reckoning, please come as soon as possible!
Yes a lot sooner rather than later. That literally made me sick to my stomach and then he says his most prized of his collection is a female. #DisgustingMonster
Oh God, why wont you take him already,, as soon as posible
I so agree. This little prick will have his day of reckoning.
Maybe he'll die in covid..We wouldn't know..

Who would have thought a competition based on shallow rules is ran by shallow people who want to get their moneys worth from shallow girls who are just chasing shallow things such as money and fame?
Shallow girls?? Did you watch the video at all??? Most of these girls are doing it for a better future. I don’t think you understand how rampant poverty is in this country. You can’t look down on people who use what they have to better their lives. Shame on you.
You nailed it Durian!
Very True Durian!!
Don’t blame the girls. It’s their way out of poverty in a tough job market.
Quite S H A L L O W, right?
Everything in this documentary is so real and true specially the sexual-harassment thing so sad
I don't like that chavet killed all those poor animals...that is not something to be proud of..
Irene Ward Well, yeah I do agree with you, but actually, something is good from it, because countries in Africa are making hunting a business so that they’ll use the profit from hunting to fund animal conservation areas... It’s not really the ideal way but it works.
Yeah... That's quite gruesome....
@@blazingfire_0712 I may be wrong but don't they help the animals grow in the conservation area then once it's grown they release the animals in the wild where they allow people to kill them for a price and the whole cycle repeats??
agree with you 1billion %
Zerxz Like I said, it’s not ideal, but it protects the species from extinction because of hunting... regulating hunting will protect them...
The craze of beauty pageants in Philippines remind me of rome’s ancient blood sports,ways of keeping citizens and communities
aligned.
Gladiatoral fights, nice!
Someone tell Chavit that his Boomer joke on wild animals = beauty pageant girls is not funny.
It shows us what kind of person he is. He is very arrogant.
B
Don't forget, that kind of Boomer is the President of the United States. He owned Miss Universe for a period of time.
anoynm anonymous some people easy to throw judgement because they lived in third world countries but refuse to see the truth in super power countries
The mayor should be condemned for hunting the endangered animals yet he is still so proud of it.
Disgusted
Try hunting.
You can't legally hunt endangered animals. I've been seeing this same comment, where do you people even get that information that they are endangered? So long as you follow the proper rules, you can legally hunt.
Chavet is known in the country as a high elite and they dont play by the rules
@@user-tt5hz8hm5l That is not the case for animals under endangered list.
@Stepfie L. P. the Singson family is a known high elite and political dynasty not only in the province of ilocos but in the whole Philippines. Everybody knew that hes corrupt and filthy i dont even know why their dynasty isn't falling yet 😂 but im sure one day karma will hit him lol
Not only in the Philippines, beauty pageant is a dirty business.
Fumi Yama venezuela as well diba.?
That is true
Beauty pageants in general is a very ugly business
Not in Indonesia
Mostly the third world countries
I dont think that this happens only in Philippines? How about the Miss universe?
The Singson family is a political dynasty in the northern part of the Philippines. They have been in politics in Ilocos for many decades . The sponsorship of Ms Universe may have given them additional media mileage but to suggest that it was a substantial factor in members of the family winning in the local elections would be false.
Agree. Politics aside, the Singsons are old money. Gold and tobacco money (as well as trading money) from the Ilocos region made said place prosperous for some way earlier than the “sugar money”” families from Western Visayas. C.S. was from from a “poorer” branch of their clan but not without the connections and name.
What a sick person, that Chavit Singson is! Taking pride of his hunting trophies. Hope karma will get him.
Amen,,🙏

First sight of Chavit Singson and his "prized" animal hunting photos DISGUSTS me.
Agreed. I almost didn't wanna proceed to watch this video, I am disgusted to watch those portraits w/ poor innocent animals 🤬🤬🤬
I am guessing you are all vegans and don't use stuff that harmed animals. Good for you.
@@Italsik Ur stupidity is clearly showing. Killing for fun is not acceptable as supposed to eating meat to survive. Cavit Singson clearly spent thousands if not millions of dollars for hunting and taking pictures just to feed his weak ego while his countrymen are sick dying and starving. He could've donated that money to improved healthcare and feed his hungry people
@@starrmathias9507 wow, do you think insulting someone will win you an argument? Shame on you for using Ad Hominem.
And to use "eating meat" as necessary way to survive is a situation basis -if you are poor and can't afford the alternatives then probably yes but if you have money, what's stopping you from buying alternatives and fully focus on vegan diet?
And I am not talking about just food but using commercial products that abuse animals, and other animal made products like leathers and specific make up products.
And I like that you had a strawman fallacy; I did not even said anything about how killing for fun is acceptable yet here you are putting words in my mouth.
Since it is not obvious for you, my comment was trying to pry if you guys are hypocrites who are disgusted by someone abusing animals yet are actually the same people who supports company and others abusing animals. Cause I find it really annoying for hypocrites to say this but do another thing.
If you are really vegans who avoid supporting abuse in animals then good for you~
@@Italsik I didn't made that comment hoping to win an argument. It's marely trying to make a point that senseless killing for fun is unnecessary. And yes it's just too stupid to anyone trying to depend this heartless pig for killing innocent animals so he can satisfied his heartless and cold selfish souls. And yes I did mention "Eating meat" u know why? There's a lot of hunter out there, they're hunting but not for fun but too feed thier families. And no I don't support companies who used animals for thier own gain, in fact if u must know. I created few as well as signed a thousands of petitions to stopped heartless experiments and animal abuse worldwide
I told my pretty granddaughter - Beauty is like honey, it attract flies.
Manuel Moraleda also money! Use what God gave you.
So you mean you mean being ugly attract all good stuff and a blessing? I feel bad for your granddaughter . Let her be confident in her own skin and be happy if she's beautiful.
She just became a teenager and I want her to think. Flies bring unwanted attention and diseases. Remember the 4 Fs - Fleeting Fortune Fame & Flies.
@@manuelmoraleda9285 Let her be confident in her own features. Pretty hurts sometimes, but ugliness is just awful.
dear ,if the honey is saved it will not attract flies at all .. your pretty grand-daughter cant balance between use her gift from god and enjoy it and be away from dirty people and be careful and protect herself
Did he just refer to Miss Universe as one of the animals he hunted???
Yes, 2:13. What a sh*t
Yes. 🤢🤮
yes
I don't like the man.... but I think he meant The Miss Universe contest/pageant itself not the women

in every good side you see and hear everyday, there is always a bad side on it. its either we ignore it or just ignorant about it.
Props to the narrator! He had to say and watch “The Duck Walk” without cracking up 😂
The ugly side of beauty pageants.
"...how do I make the most money in a short period of time...?" That's how innocent girls find themselves being bought and sold.
Yes.
Philippino people in general focus so much in appearance
Similar sa mga hidden activities sa mundo ng fashion industry at showbiz. Parang nakahilerang paninda, namimili lang mga mayayamang sexual predators kung sino babayaran for a night or a week. Nakakalokah ang kalakaran.😭💔
Killing endangered animals is nothing to be proud of 😡
Sorry, out of curiosity, which of those animals are endangered? You are not allowed to hunt endangered animals, most cases they even have their own guards to look after them. However, there is a thing called legal hunting which is allowed.
@@ash-zo4lw There are different types of elephants, not all of them are endangered. The people you are referring to are called poachers. Legal hunting is different. Another thing, judging but the photos, you can see that he looks more younger in them, we can't verify the year that was taken. Times change.

There is a reason why the girls each of them must bring their own person that are looking after them 24/7 as well as all the security
agencies. No one should be allowed to be on their own for the duration of the pageant.
I wrote a paper on pageants for my master’s degree on women in UP, and while this documentary has shown a dark side, it may not directly be because of pageants, and may not be representative of the picture of beauty pageants. The good in pageants surely outweighs that of some bad that can be sifted out (e.g. use of enhancement drugs, predatory sponsors, etc). Individual experiences of pageant alumni differ and can be polar opposites.
I agree. This documentary video wandered and stayed on the dark side and failed to present some sides of male and beauty pageant. The video showed Janina's interview but failed to present the side of the beauty pageant organization. Is that fair journalism?
The Hidden Side Of Philippines Beauty Pageants | Undercover Asia | Full Episode
It's their focus.
There is plenty of information available on the positive side of beauty pageants.
This series of documentaries is specifically aimed at exposing the underbelly of Asia, that is their stated intent.
Therefore it is appropriate for them to focus on the information they have here, and there is no need for them to be providing the opposite side in this particular case.
mga inggiterang shupitbaler lang yan kasi di sila makaisa sa mga pageants.. they hate to see any success by their neighbors
The only way to get out of their control is - Get Fat.
🤪🤣
Or why not joining beauty pageants at all, get a job or start a business even it is small.
Sad i wished the girl with the sick mother really wins
Then a fund raiser would have been better.
If she wants to get big, start being a social media influencer. Post pictures in Instagram, start vlogging, then earn off from sponsors. See what happened to Maine Mendoza, Ellen Adarna, and Ivanna Alawi? If she could sing, she should start doing cover songs like Ysabelle Cuevas. Use your assets while it's still there. It'll only last for 10-15 years, unless you invest in cosmetic surgeries. While you have a pretty face, use it as a leverage. A lot of people became famous for nothing but a pretty face (Kim K.).

I couldn't see confidence in her, she's too emotional to talk. And for someone to represent a country, she should be bolder in projecting herself as someone strong, able, intelligent in answering questions. Her background was a model, most modeling jobs doesn't require interactions. They most simply follow instructions.
Thank you for this documentary. I hope many people with see this, especially my fellow Filipinos. Salamat
Thanks for this docu, we can see the other side of pageant world, not just glitz and glamor.
I salute u girls ❤️
Whenzy Escario its not a secret! especially with male pageants.
If they are actually spending half million to be in the pageant alone.. why don't they just use that fund for the cause that they are actually saying everytime the are doing Q&A. Sometimes I wonder what does beauty pageant have to do with charity works.
maddy s.r associating with charity work makes them feel justified about showing off their bodies
Beauty pageant is more like a niche sport
hehehehe
Because it’s woke to be supposedly involved in charity work… to make their profiles “better”. The ones who do/support real charity do it quietly, without announcing it to the world.
Thank you so much. This is such an eye-opener for me.
Hello, thanks for crediting the use of my Miss Earth video. Glad to have contributed to this documentary.
The fact that Pia Wurtzbach is older than Janina San Miguel
speak for yourself! don’t use “we filipinos” madami namang walang may paki jan.
That guy with the baby, dude, maybe it's about time to find a decent job that will give you secure income, rather than gambling in pageants you aren't even sure you'll win. I mean, come on man, you already have a growing kid. Be a security guard, a fitness trainer, call center agent or something. Psh. People and their priorities.
Who's here's to watch janina san Miguel
So dark... feel sad for those who're becoming the VICTIMS :(
They are willing victim its their choice,they are hungry for fame and glamour they throw away thier dignity just for it.
i coached male Filipinos for pageants. this is no secret. i dont participate. i just helped a few guys with the English coaching. so I know the dark side.
@@eduardochavacano Not in just in the Philippines, its around the world people who want fame.Its worst in Latin America, like venezuela ,Colombia mexico etc.
Melanie Moreno I am very much aware of how it is in South America. Actually, the Philippines is not obssessed with pageants. Only the gay Filipinos. The media created this Myth that the Filipinos are obsessed. Venezuela, Colombia, and Puerto Rico were the real pageant super powers. The woman who owns the Miss Philippines pageant is from Colombia! She and the Miss Universe Organization have good relationship, so they can negotiate stuff!
The history of beauty pageants in the Philippines goes way back. During the Spanish colonial period, towns paraded their young ladies in religious processions, the most beautiful of them portraying the role of Queen Helena (Reyna Elena), who discovered the True Cross of Jesus. The Santacruzan parade is still practiced in modern times. The 1900s witnessed the rise of the Carnival Queens, the precursor of Philippine beauty pageants.
It s like models...... same story they choose you and you have to do what they say..........
Indeed happening in my country. Thanks for producing this documentary.
Oh, dear Lord. When he said that the best animal he has on display was the Miss Universe pageant. Either he's bitter that he's incapable of joining the contest or he's just plain heartless.
south korea has k-pop, thailand has bl dramas, and philippines has beauty queens and kings(?)... these are 'industries' in their own rights which grew and evolved from commercialism... and these industries have underbelies because they satisfy the earthly, if not primal, whims and caprices of the industries' key players.
Thank you for sharing this, with this free flat form hope all the Youth in the Ph will able to watch this episode and might open their realization on this old dirty and dangerous way of exploitation. right education and electing righteous leaders will hopefully change this culture.
Well said.
DISGUSTING
Killing animals as a hobby.
ikr
I’m a Filipino yet I’m reading the subtitles 😳
If you weren’t raised in the Philippines, then that is understandable
Ang sagwa nitong docu na to. But this is a sad TRUTH. This is reality, sad to say.
I remember Janina and her funny q&a last 2008. Made my day!
This happens in Venezuela, too. For both, female and male.
Alexis Pineda :(((
But at difference in Venezuela people is beautiful even in the streets and not like Phillipines
This happens in every latinos countries
@@felipeo5061 oh. A Singaporean made this video. Have you even heard of v shape face surgery and double eyelid surgery I think it's more of an interesting topic that they have to discuss instead of pointing out Philippines.
@@felipeo5061 you cant compare the true meaning of beauty.
Thank you for making this! iirc CJ Hirro made the same exposé
hunting & pageantry is a nasty combination of one;s own personal obsession.
As a Male Former Pageant title holder who resigned/dethroned just weeks after winning due to my sexuality, I can say, Pageantry specially for men is pretty dark. I was harassed and told by the org president that I should have never been accepted as a candidate as the first place because Im gay.
I find it disgusting that there are more complaints about animal abuse (which I agree is a horrendous activity) in the comments section than about abuse of the pageant contestants that this documentary is about. It seems to point to the fact that most of us relate more to the animals than the Fillipinos
Those animals in the photos were shot and killed. Meanwhile many of the people who participated in pageants made that choice to do so. Do those animals had a choice?
"The Philippines need a hero". Powerful words.
Thank you for this feature. This is definitely an eye-opener to the world of pageantry. Keep up the good work 👍
an aspect the documentary forgot to include is that pageants will choose winners that are mixed raced for local and national pageants. pageants scouters will also scout for mixed raced women that are were raised abroad and they prefer if the mixed raised women are mixed with caucasian blood and reside in a caucasian country hardly pure filipinos get the chance to win and represent the country in international pageants because theres a belief within the country that mixed raced people (especially if they’re mixed with caucasian/ european blood) are more beautiful, more capable, and more high class than pure filipinos.
OMG this is really surprising and indeed the dark side of pageants like this.
This video is an eye-opener to all of us.
Plot twist: Chavit Singson's hobby is the dark side of the pageants lol
Its sad knowing how these candudates are taken advantage of. I dont agree that its their fault. I think theyre left with little choice. Organizers have the moral & social reaponsibility to give a safe & nuturing environment for these individuals whose only desire is to have that one shot of a better life. They should keep the predators away. That’s not a big thing to ask.
If you have dream(s), then there is no short cut and easy way for you. And this is true to all. You’ll face challenges and hardships. Don’t ever blame your situation and what you’ve become to other people. For goodness sake, we all have the “choice”. We are free to think for our own action. You are accountable for your decisions.
This is heartbreaking for me to watch. And I feel so much sadness when hearing the stories, especially of the male pageants -- because I seriously didn't consider it. This has become a toxic cycle, and I wish there was a police only for the pageants to stop sexual harassment!
