The statements were made during her participation in the program &#8220;Marking the Course&#8221; which is broadcast on CDN.\n\nCamilo expressed his disagreement with the group of contestants, stating that &#8220;a group of the ugliest girls in the country&#8221; was chosen. He added that, in his opinion, none of the participants reflected the traditional standards of Dominican beauty and that &#8220;not even the winner&#8221; could be considered a true representative.\n\nDuring her intervention, she also questioned the excessive use of makeup among the contestants, insinuating that, without these aesthetic resources, many of them would have a different appearance. She pointed out that when traveling through the country she observes young women &#8220;beautiful, without surgery, without makeup&#8221;, with different types of hair and skin tones, who were not present in the contest.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MISS RD UNIVERSO 2025 EN LA MIRA: CR\u00cdTICAS A MAGALIS FEBLES POR ELECCI\u00d3N DE CANDIDATAS FEAS\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a66vLYPVymQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\nAnother aspect highlighted was the height of the participants. Camilo said that many were short, which, according to what he expressed, contradicts the requirements of the international Miss Universe pageant, which has historically favored tall figures.\n\nThe former minister proposed possible causes for the situation, including an alleged loss of interest from young people in this type of contest, the disrepute of the event, or an inadequate selection of candidates. In that sense, she recalled the participation of figures like Amelia Vega and Celinee Santos, who in her opinion did reflect recognized beauty standards.\n\nCamilo concluded by pointing out that the choice of these candidates is not representative of the image that the country should project on an international stage, considering this situation as a challenge that must be addressed by the organizers of the contest.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santo Domingo. \u2013 Former Minister of Women, Janet Camilo, openly questioned the recent edition of the Miss Dominican Republic Universe pageant, considering that the selection of the candidates does not represent the diversity and beauty of the country.
