Saying the Philippines is a pageant-loving nation is an understatement, and one of the most prestigious international pageants that Pinoys always look forward to is the Miss World.
Just like Miss Universe and Miss International, the Miss World pageant has also been conquered by Pinay beauties. Beauty queen-turned-actress Ruffa Gutierrez brought so much pride in the country when she was crowned second runner-up in the pageant held in Sun City, South Africa in 1993.
Our hearts also bled for Catriona Gray, who gave a touching answer to the question: "Which qualities do you think it will take to wear my crown?"
Catriona's reply then, "I think, first of all, it takes bravery. To be a Miss World is to carry a burning torch. It is like action carried out by one to illuminate the lives of many. And I would dedicate my whole self, my love for the arts, and my voice to try to uplift, empower and educate people. And it would be my greatest honor and duty to hold this torch high enough so that all the world could feel and see its light.”
Catriona finished in the Top 5 in 2016. She then brought her talents and determination to Miss Universe and won the fourth title of the Philippines in the said competition.
And of course, the lone Filipina who captured our only crown in Miss World, Megan Young. She has established herself as one of the top stars in GMA-7 and cemented her place as a bankable endorser, too.
Let us all look back and find out what happened to the past Miss World Philippines queens in this gallery.
