In a recorded announcement aired on dzBB radio, INC spokesperson Bienvenido Santiago confirmed Manalo’s death at 3:53 p.m. Monday, August 31, 2009.

The crown briefly fell to the floor as it passed from one Venezuelan beauty to the next.

But Fernandez said there was time for outgoing Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza to whisper in her ear that she must have worked hard for Venezuela to win consecutive crowns.

“What do we Venezuelans have?” Fernandez, an international relations student, told reporters after the pageant. “That we are ourselves.”

The make and price of the aircraft were not disclosed but her spokesman, Cerge Remonde, said Arroyo “does not want more criticism about her spending.”

“I am formally announcing the president has ordered the cancellation of the purchase of a presidential jet,” Remonde said.
