Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz is not a judge in the 65th Miss Universe competition, but the first Filipina beauty queen to bring home the crown already has her picks for the top five.

Diaz said on top of her mind are the girls with whom she had interacted in the times she had attended the Miss Universe events.

Among those she named was Miss Universe Canada Siera Bearchell, but she said the 23-year-old beauty needs to shed some weight.

"If Canada could lose 8 pounds, I love her face. Am I right? She’s beautiful," she said in an interview with ANC's Headstart on Friday.

Asked if Miss Canada would really have to lose that much, Diaz relented and said “Okay, five.”

Diaz also said she finds Miss Venezuela, Miss Dominican Republic, Miss Thailand, and Miss China "beautiful" and "gorgeous."

She also believes the Philippines' bet, Maxine Medina, could be among the top contenders, but admitted that she would only be a "saling pusa" (token candidate).

"She cannot nga be the winner. She can be first runner-up. I hope I’m proven wrong for the first time in my life. I want her to win. I want us to be so proud, but you know, that’s life," she said.

"We are the host. The host country cannot [win]. I cannot serve lechon and bring it back to my kitchen kasi I’m giving it to you," she added.
