Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2010 Maria Venus Raj stripped of crown; Runner-up Helen Nicolette Henson will be replacing her

Binibining Pilipinas organizers decided to stripped Maria Venus Raj of her crown as Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 2010 after they found inconsistencies between her personal account of her birth and birth certificate records.

Both Venus and her mother said she was born in Doha, Qatar while her birth certificate indicated that she was born in the Philippines.

Raj will be replaced by Bb. Pilipinas runner-up Helen Nicolette Henson to represent the Philippines to the Miss Universe 2010 Pageant.

Former pageant beauties Anjanette Abayari (Bb. Pilipinas-Universe, 1991), Tisha Silang (Bb. Pilipinas-Universe, 1998), and Janelle Bautista (Bb. Pilipinas-Universe, 1999) was also stripped of their title due to irregularities.
