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.”

  2. Disqualifying our country in entering your “beauty pageant is not the solution of giving other countries a chance to win.” Because it is still the judges will choose who will be the right winner of any beauty pageant. To the group & organizer of ABPFH…Please stop being paranoid and insecure to our country, to our FILIPINA CANDIDATE. To ABPFH members…just choose the best on your country. Because we FILIPINO PEOPLE always have the best in choosing candidates in every beauty pageant. And besides THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A FILIPINA CANDIDATE TO ANY WORLD CLASS BEAUTY PAGEANT !!! WE ARE BORN WINNER!!!

  27. Can’t help but reply on the use of ‘satire’, maybe not in the article or website itself, but in the comments at the least.

    The last I know of what satire is, it is a mockery of a current event to express an opposition. Kumbaga, ito ay maihahalintulad sa paggamit ng katatawanan sa pagwewelga. But for this specific article, I can’t think of any recent event for mockery and coming up with this piece. Not even the recent winnings of Filipina beauties in international pageants. If there is one thing that was mocked by the article, in my opinion, is the other countries’ candidates beaten by Filipinas in the competition. So, the article is not being satirical but being boastful with the recent winnings by Filipina beauties.

    1. The comments and responses themselves constitute a “satire” on the Filipino romance with beauty pageants and the need not just for Filipinos but all of us to be vigilant about things we read or hear from the media or through social networks.

  40. @ Espie, what other Mexican countries ? There is only one Mexican country and it is Mexico. You probably meant South American countries or Latin American countries.

  42. Sa lahat ng mga tinamaan ng galit at nainis sa news na’to, naloko kayo. It’s a satire news and it’s meant to be funny. Research first before commenting. Nangingibabaw talaga ang pagiging judgmental ng ibang commentators dito. Think before you click 😉
