PAGEANT BUFFS SPEAK OUT!!

Who among the past Bb. Pilipinas winners you admire most?

• That would definitely be Miriam Quiambao. From all the Filipinas who made us proud in the international pageant arena, she became the true epitome of a Filipina beauty queen. After she won as 1st runner-up in Miss Universe ’99, we now send real Filipina beauty in Miss Universe wherein we base the criteria if she is a Quiambao-like person... - binibini

• Who can ever forget Ruffa Gutierrez? She has been through it all, from glorious 2nd Princess in Miss World to Controversial Queen at the local movie industry! The 5"10 Filipina mestiza clasped international ground and is now happily married. She’s truly one of the finest! - Landusha

• Ruffa, Miriam and Mafae. They have this vibrancy which not all beauty queens have. Their elegance upshot can captivate the eyes and hearts of their fans in just one strut. - Baklitas

• You know Baklitas of the three you selected Miriam Quiambao is and was in all classiness by herself alone. I remember so well how elegant she displayed herself in swimsuit, interview (except for her final answer of course where it was obvious how her nerves got to her) and who can forget that evening gown presentation. Although she didn't win, she set the standard on how future Miss Universe will be judged upon. She would have made a great Miss Universe. - Senorita Charina Katigbak Batungbakal PPacascas

• Yer right Senorita Charina. She has this class of the beauty queen on her own. No wonder she almost made it! ;) We just simply adore Miriam... Baklitas

• Talk about forgetting key figures! Skip the overrated and most recent. For me it's got to be Margie Moran because she was Miss Universe. She is classy, intelligent, full of humility and compassion and she gives back to her country and helps in promoting places in the Philippines such as Mindanao, through education and using her celebrity status (positive intentions) to do so. - starsailor

• I second that! She was true to her words when she answered that she would like to build or buy a house so that she can live with everyone she loves in it. The Philippines is just the extension of her house and is her home. How remarkable what she has done to ensure the well being of all the lives in her home whom she so dearly loves. She is truly a Miss Universe for the ages! - Senorita Charina Katigbak Batungbakkaal Pacascas

• I was just thinking about the latest queens but of course, the vintage ones are the likes of Margie and Gloria - still the all time favorites. (NT) - Baklitas

• Margie Moran epitomizes class and sophistication. From the moment she arrived in Athens, the photographers and their cameras would not let her go. She need not speak for her action says, up to now that, " I am a winner and I would not buckle from the hardest questions." She is the essence of a modern Filipina of the 21st century who won her crown in the 20th century. Truly ahead of her time. - Princess Naranja
