Helen Nicolette Henson replacing Maria Venus Raj after being dethroned

Dethroned Bb. Pilipinas Universe 2010, Maria Venus Raj

Maria Venus Raj, Bb. Pilipinas Universe 2010 a few weeks ago and expected to represent the country at the 2010 Miss Universe pageant, has been dethroned by the organization due to questionable birth records. According to a representative of the Araneta Group, Legazpi native Maria Venus Raj was replaced due to some factual inconsistencies on her birth certificate.

She has been replaced by 2nd runner-up, Helen Nicolette Henson, a 21-year old model, host and travel writer who holds a degree in Journalism.

Helen Nicolette Henson who stands 1.75 m tall, has been appointed the new Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2010 and will represent the Philippines at the Miss Universe 2010 pageant later this year.



Note that the 1st runner-up, Dianne Elaine Necio, was ineligible as she is only 17 years old. Miss Universe requirements state that contestants should be 18-26 years of age.
