Fans cheered Maria on her arrival at Suvarnabhumi International Airport on Sunday night. The beauty queen’s success in the Miss Universe pageant was somewhat tainted by controversy over her answer to a “skill-testing question” posed during the telecast. Maria was asked: “What do you think has been the most important social movement of your generation, and why?”Her reply: “I think the most important social movement so far is our ageing population, though the most important movement of our time is our youth. “Our country still lacks adequate social movements,” she said, but now she wants to try and change that. “I intend to do more to bring public attention to social movements.”For now, Maria plans to encourage young people to avoid premature pregnancy.
