The Philippines’ entry for the Miss Universe beauty pageant has been disqualified after local organizers discovered she was born overseas and out of wedlock.

Maria Venus Raj, 21, was set to represent Philippines in August and begin charity work after winning the Miss Philippines-Universe competition early this month.

But the journalism graduate was stripped of her title on Monday after the foundation that runs the local competition discovered she had been born in Qatar to an Indian man who was not married to her Filipina mother.
Her birth certificate stated she was born in the Philippines with Filipino parents. She was stripped of her position not due to citizenship issues but because her birth certificate contained false information.

She is replaced by BB. Pilipinas runner-up Helen Nicolette Henson who will now assume the responsibilities of the Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2010 and will represent the country to the Miss Universe Pageant.
