During the 2006 Binibining Pilipinas pageant, Marie-Ann Umali had a controversial answer to the question: In your own words,how would you define true love?
The question was asked then by Iza Calzado (She's the host in the 2009 pageant).
Umali responded: "In my own words, love cannot be defined because love should be 'fit'. (She said 'fit' instead of 'felt'.)
