MANILA — Here’s a treat for pageant aficionados.
The Miss Universe organization released on Wednesday half-century-old footage of the entire performance of Gloria Diaz in its 1969 pageant, in celebration of the beauty queen’s birthday.
“Happy Birthday Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz! She is the first Filipina to hold the Miss Universe title,” the organization said on its Facebook page.
Diaz, who turned 70 on March 10, competed in Miss Universe at age 18, against 60 other contestants at the Miami Beach Auditorium in Florida, US.
