Let's know more about this Girl na talaga namang kinahuhumalingan ko. hahahaha

Maria Venus Raj (born 1989) is the one of the three reigning Binibining Pilipinas winners, and she will be representing the Philippines in the 59th Miss Universe pageant . She was crowned on March 06, 2010 during the Grand Coronation Night of Binibining Pilipinas 2010 held at the Araneta Coliseum. Two years ago, Raj competed in the Miss Philippines-Earth, and was named as Miss Philippines Earth Eco Tourism 2008. She was crowned on May 11, 2008 at Crowne Plaza Galleria, Manila, by the previous year's winner, Anna Katrina Bautista. Maria has Indian lineage.

Maria Venus Bayonito Raj (born July 7, 1988) is a Filipina beauty queen. She was crowned Binibining Pilipinas Universe on March 06, 2010 during the pageant's Grand Coronation Night at the Araneta Coliseum. She represented the Republic of the Philippines in the 2010 Miss Universe pageant and placed fourth runner-up to Ximena Navarrete of Mexico.

In August 2010, Raj flew to the United States and took part in the 2010 Miss Universe pageant. As part of the six delegates which were handpicked for a media tour, Raj along with Jesinta Campbell of Australia, Natalia Navarro of Colombia, Sarodj Bertin of Haiti, Jimena Navarrete of Mexico, Mariana Vicente of Puerto Rico and Miss Universe 2009 Stefania Fernandez were scheduled for several television appearances prior to the actual pageant in Las Vegas, Nevada. At this point, Raj was viewed as one of the heavy favourites for the crown and throughout the course of the pageant. During the Miss Universe question and answer portion, Raj was asked by American actor William Baldwin about the biggest mistake that she made in her life and what she did to make it right. She replied, "You know what, sir, in my 22 years of existence, I can say that there's nothing major major, I mean problem that I've done in my life because I'm very confident with my family, with the love that they are giving to me. So thank you so much that I'm here. Thank you, thank you so much!"[11] Raj received the highest rating in the Miss Universe website, with 3.54 points, the highest-ever for a Filipina delegate.[12] In an event held in Diablos Cantina at the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino, Raj won in a Chicken Wing Eating Contest, increasing her popularity even more during the run of the pageant.[13]
While competing at Miss Universe 2010 in Las Vegas, Raj was emotionally distressed to hear about the death of Filipina-German beauty queen Melody Gersbach and make-up artist Alden Orense in a car accident. Gersbach, a fellow Bicolana who previously competed and secured a place in the Top15 finalists at Miss International 2009 in China, was one of Raj's coaches in her preparation for the Miss Universe pageant.
