Do you think MUO's picking a senior Miss Universe winners (from 1950's to 1970's) as one of the judges this year is a good idea? I mean let's get real, their era at Miss Universe is different from the era of today. Miss Universe candidates today are more on fierceness and bubblyness side, back then everything was all about wholesomeness and modesty lol.


Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz will be one of the judges at Miss Universe 2019

Well, aside from Gloria, there will be more seniors who are going to judge like Miss Universe 1954- Miriam Stevenson (from USA)





Miss Universe 1968- Martha Maria Vasconcellos (from Brazil)















There was an article about Gloria Diaz comparing Miss Universe pageants then and now. This is the whole article

‘You’re measured without a bra’: Gloria Diaz compares pageants then and now




MANILA – This 2019, Gloria Diaz marks her 50th year as a Miss Universe titleholder.

“It’s not only a coincidence, it’s scary!” the Miss Universe 1969 winner told reporters last Tuesday, noting that her stint as beauty queen and mentor Gloria Reyes in the Netflix show “Insatiable” happened in the same year. 

'Queens take control': Gloria Diaz talks about Netflix stint

“Where did those 50 years go? It was so fast,” she added.

Even after half a century, Diaz remains relevant among Filipino pageant fans. What she did, after all, is no small feat as she is the Philippines’ first of only four Miss Universe winners.

The beauty queen-turned-actress revealed, however, that she did not take her pageant journey seriously. Diaz was only 18 years old when she competed internationally.

“I wasn’t competitive – in fact, I was very complacent, feeling I deserve [to win],” she recalled, laughing. “[I felt like] I don’t have to compete, bahala kayo. Take it or leave it. Feeling lang. Then all of a sudden, I won.”

“My father’s very down-to-earth and he said before I left, ‘No matter what happens, when you lose, we go to Europe, okay?’ So in my mind, ‘Why will I lose naman?’” she went on. 

“In the first place, even in Binibini (Binibining Pilipinas, the national pageant), I didn’t really know it was that kind of competition. I was there for the picnic. It’s the first time I’m able to sleep outside my own room. We all slept out haha. ”


CHANGES

While she admitted to not being a pageant aficionado (“I have very bad memory for faces pa,” she said), Diaz said she has observed how the landscape has changed for beauty queens today. 

“[It has changed] very much. They do all kinds of very adult stuff now. Like some of the pageants are in the casinos, they do deodorants, all kinds of stuff now. Of course, there’s plastic surgery and everything. Before, there was no such thing. Parang pa-wholesome effect lang na education, health, and stuff. ‘Yun ang focus,” she said. 

“During our time, we wore designer clothes but it was not talked about that much. Now it’s become an issue,” she added. 


Diaz went on to share that “vital statistics” – or bust, waist, and hip measurements – were a huge deal during her time. So much so that they have to gather in a room and have their chest measured without a bra.

“Before there was a parade or rally about being measured. Because during my time, we go into a room, a really small room where there are only 20 of you. Only in your underwear, no bra, and you’re measured,” she said. “So on the pageant itself, there’s the 34-24-34, ganyan. 

“Now, 'di na sinasabi ‘yun. They only talk about height and weight. After that year [of the rally], that’s what happened… During my time they do body measurement, academic achievement, stuff like that. Now diverted na to the bikini, bahala ka na.”

Another major difference, according to Diaz, is that beauty queens today are generally a lot older.

“I used to say that when you enter a contest, you must keep it in your mind that this is not the beginning or the end. This is just a stepping stone, something different. If you win, good. If you lose, okay. You make friends, you enjoy. But it’s more difficult for me to say that now because now, they are already 26 or 27, it’s a life-changing career,” she said. 

“Things have changed,” she continued. “I think it’s also a step to a better life for the family. Beauty queens, parang they earn a lot, supposedly. And they can do other stuff. I think even in getting a job, if you’re a beauty queen, you have an edge.”

Interesting if Gloria Diaz will be a judge. Huhugot at huhugot sya. Her win wasn't fate or being lucky, it was her pangiliti sa mga judges at pati na sa audience. Kung baga sa pang gobyernaduhan, padulas. In addition, what I like about her is that she maintained her wholesome because in the industry she went on to live, she avoided alot of temptations and scandals or controversies.

Armi Kuusela should have been there. The most senior of them all but still kicking and going strong.

My only problem with Gloria judging the pageant is she is very vocal about delicadeza. My God, I dont want her to give low scores to Gazini just out of delicadeza. I am not saying she should automatically give high scores to her. But she should at least base it on performance.

The Philippines will NOT have a chance at a B2B with Ms. Diaz as a judge.

She’s been very vocal about her perceived inappropriateness of a Philippine behind-the-scenes connection with the win of a Philippine candidate at Miss Universe. Of course, however, no one would make a fuss if the ugly Miss USA won the crown even if it were an all-American judging panel and the pageant were held in the USA.

All of Gazini’s competitors may now rejoice.

Sa TV Patrol earlier today, may statement si mama Gloria. Pinapagisipan daw nya kung tatanggapin ang pag judge. Kasi ayaw daw niya masisi kapag natalo si Gazini.

Although a valid point, pero bakit kaya pagkatalo ang issue nya. Hindi man lang pagkapanalo.

Anyway, alam na natin kung ano ang stand nya. Sana nga wag na lang nya tanggapin.

More reason for Gloria Diaz to vote for the Philippines since the South Americans are suprasupra nationalistic (e.g. Nina Cleopakwak). If its normal for the Ricans voting for their own MsU with Rican judges. So just obvious Ms U 1968 will vote for Braziw.

Senior citizens have many valuable things to teach our generation .. they’re not irrelevant so you shouldn’t dismiss them .. I’m glad Gazini is shedding some light on our behaviour towards the elderly people

Wow...Gloria's story about being measured echoed Miss USA 1969 Wendy Dascomb's story. While at Miss USA, the girls have to have their measurements "certified" under the guise of preventing a "falsie scandal" because there was controversy in past years when contestants were caught padding their body parts to look better during the swimsuit portion. I do notice that Miss Universe stopped giving out body measurements during the telecast while Miss World was still doing it well into the 1980s.... (Meeess Sweedum, 36, 24, 36...)
