PHILIPPINES DISQUALIFIED FROM BEAUTY PAGEANTS FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS

UPDATED – The ban on Filipina candidates to International beauty competitions has been extended for another two years, following the recent crowning of two Filipinas as ‘Miss Globe’ (Ann Lorraine Colis)  and ‘Miss Earth’ (Angela Ong).

The following story was from 2013:

Bangkok, Thailand – After today’s fourth-place finish of Annalie Forbes, the Philippines’ representative to the Miss Grand International Beauty Pageant in Bangkok, Thailand, the  Association of Beauty Pageant Franchise Holders (ABPFH) has banned the Philippines from future international beauty competitions, citing “enormous advantage” by Filipina candidates in practically all pageants this year.

The  disqualification will be in effect for two years.

The Philippines holds the distinction of having won the title in all major beauty competitions like Miss Universe, Miss World and Miss International.  Additionally, every new international beauty competition has seen a Filipina winning the title or placing in the top 5.  Earlier this year, Mutya Datul won the 2013 Miss Supranational Pageant.

Forbes is the fourth Filipino to make it to the top 5 in competitions this year. Megan Young, of course, bagged the 2013 Miss World title this year, the first-ever for the Philippines.  Before Young, Evangeline Pascual reached the finals and was first runner-up in 1973 while Ruffa Gutierrez was second runner-up in 1993.

Ariella Arida, the country’s bet in the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow, Russia, placed fourth.

Other Filipina beauties who have won international titles include Gloria Diaz and Margie Moran (Miss Universe) and Gemma Cruz, Mimilanie Marquez, Aurora Pijuan, and Precious Lara Quigaman (Miss International). Karla Henry won the Miss Earth title in 2008.

In 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Philippines’  Venus Raj, Shamcey Supsup and Janine Tugonon were all in the top 5 in the Miss Universe competition.

ABPFH said that it is time for the Philippines to give other countries the chance to win international beauty competitions, adding that “the world already knows how beautiful and talented Filipinas are.”

  1. Franchise Holders (ABPFH) = BOBO. THIS IS ACT OF DISCRIMINATION TO THE PHILIPPINES. YOU ARE SO INSECURE. THE PURPOSE OF PAGEANTRY IS CAMARADERIE AMONG NATIONS, PEACEFUL RELATIONSHIP TO ONE ANOTHER ON TOP WITH THE WHO IS BEING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ON THAT TIME. SIGHTING FOR EXAMPLE THE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY OF VENEZUELA THAT MOST OF THE CONTEST THEY ARE ALSO IN TOP 5 IN BEAUTY PAGEANTS… THEN ONLY MENTIONING PHILIPPINES.. THE AUTHOR OF THIS PLEAD IS INSANE.

  4. I agree too…The judges of all the beauty pageant compititions comes from different countries who made their decision for the final 5…Aren’t they trusted to choose the best of five?

    All the contingents are intelligent and beautiful, but it is a compitition, the final five must be chosen and the best must be on top.

    Disqualification of Philippine candidate is very unfair.

  8. It’s not an appropriate reason. The competition is based on the score of judges. You better blame the Board of Judges in the competition.

  9. There’s no such organization called Association of Beauty Pageant Franchise Holders or ABPFH. And logically, they should ban USA and Venezuela first.

  10. That’s rude, we’re giving a fair fight >.<
    this will only be fine if they will make the TOP 5 less one, if they are saying that the Philippines always got one of these 5 positions.
    they should call it Magic 4 for two years if Philippines would not be joining

      1. No not exempted. the word is simply ‘banned’ To be exempt, means that a set of otherwise set criteria do not need to be met for whatever reason.
