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.”

If the ABPFH is concerned about the overwhelming disadvantage, then what they should do is to implement a rule stating that all contestants must be a full/native Filipina. Half of the participants in these various pageants representing the Philippines are Fil-Ams.

This is nonsense news. This is not true. Did the Philippines win a Miss Universe crown since Gloria Diaz? No, none, right? I can’t see the logic for this. Granting we have won 5 Miss Universe crowns in 5 consecutive years, it would still be foolish to ban our candidates from competing in a field where they excelled.

If that’s your reason, well it also sounds like a compliment but you have to banned also the other countries who always on the winning slots. It’s not fair for the Philippines. But I guess, it’s up to the country how to screen & prepare for their future representatives that matters most. Be sure they will choose the best bet to represent.

How can you say you deserve to win an international title if you cannot speak English by yourself. They should implement or put as a requirements for a contestant that they should know how to speak English fluently as it is our global language.

@ Sally Rose , What Filipinos do not know is that most countries do not speak English but speak their own language. They do not feel comfortable or confident in the English language as they do not use it on a daily basis. Filipinos are able to speak English because of the Americans who imposed English in schools. If the Americans didn’t take over, we would have been speaking Spanish like Latin America and would be speaking Spanish in international beauty pageants like Miss Universe and some people like you would be saying the same thing about Filipinos uncapable of Speaking English. English is not the only language in this world. Most countries give so much pride to their own language so you cannot compare them to Filipinos who do not give any pride to the Filipino language by speaking a language that is not even theirs. Look at how Filipinos speak ? They speak Filipino but tend to use English words in the middle of their sentence or look at their expressions. That doesn’t happen in other countries. When you are representing your country, it should include your language.

Such an unreliable story! What is the writer trying to prove? What about Venezuela? Doesn’t he know that Venezuela has won more beauty contests than any other countries. The Philippines doesn’t even comes close or near second to it.
I am a Filipino by blood, but I can say without a “flinch of the eye” that there are more beautiful women in South America than any other countries in the world and Philippines has got to accept that. It is only this year that Philippines has placed well in these beauty contests and they are bragging already.
