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.”
The Adobo Chronicles 
In my home country, the United Kingdom. these beauty contest are banned because the UK is a politically correct country. In UK we consider women to be fully functioning normal human beings who should be treated with respect and dignity. To trot out women as sex objects in front of millions of drooling men is extremely disrespectful to women’s basic human right to equality with men. Maybe in 50 years’ time, the Philippines will be dragged, kicking and screaming if need be, into the modern world and these beauty contests will be consigned to the trash can of history.

What sad reasoning. I don’t see how that justifies the decision to disqualify the Philippines. I doubt whatever rules they use has a provision for disqualifying a country because they win too often.

Is this article for real??? Is this a joke that the panel from ABPFH have decided such ridiculous reason to ban beautiful Filipino contestant from competing for a title??? This a discrimination of any race that will have or have won several crown titles.!!!!! I have never heard of such absurd reason to ban my kapwa Pinay contestant having to compete. Judges and the media must have seen something quite unique and extra ordinary from each contestant that one lady is different from the other. This sound like a big protest is going to happen. Count me it. Stop excluding a country just because their beautiful women keep getting one of top title.

That seems a strange reason for a ban! More likely, it was the use of false breasts or maybe most of the winners were ladyboys and the organisers of the pageants would be too embarrassed to admit that their rigorous vetting procedures were so compromised!

Disqualification of a country with beauty and brain contestants in all the Beauty Pageants is not the answer to the problem of the organizers. The only solution to this is to ABOLISH the organizations. The Philippines, the PEARL of the orient as the word pearl implies is very proud to show to the entire world that we, FILIPINAS are BEAUTIFUL and SMART. And we will not let anyone to stop us in doing so.
