Gloria Diaz at Michelle Dee
NANINIWALA ang Miss Universe 1969 na si Gloria Diaz na malaki ang tyansa ng pambato ng Pilipinas na si Michelle Dee na makapasok sa Top 5.
Sa kanyang panayam sa “Gising Pilipinas” ng TeleRadyo Serbisyo nitong Biyernes, November 17, ibinahagi nito ang kanyang fearless forecast sa magiging journey ni Michelle.
“Hindi ko pa talaga alam, the day itself will show. Hindi ko alam talaga honestly. Ako I always hope for our Miss Philippines to be in the Top 5. Top 5 ‘yan, Top 5 kasi they have to have a representative from Asia,” saad ni Gloria.
Pagpapatuloy pa niya, “Usually Miss USA comes in among the Top 15 or the Top 10. And 100% we get something from South America, Central America, may blonde siyempre mayroon ding itim, ganun ‘yon.”
Ani Gloria, “business” na ngayon ang labanan sa beauty pageant.
“This is business and luck to quote that. Hindi tayo kukuha ng kuwan na hindi mabili. Michelle is very popular,” sey ng Miss Universe 1969.

Bukod pa rito, inamin rin ni Gloria na dumidepende rin sa “luck” ang pagkapanalo sa mga beauty pageants.
“Alam mo many things have changed during my time and now, many things, hindi ba? Of course Melanie is my favorite co-beauty queen and she is to me the most beautiful talaga.
“Michelle on a scale of 1 to 10 compared to Melanie she is a 7, 8 in spite of siguro her leanings or whatever they call it. She has a good chance. Kasi in a beauty contest hindi naman kuwan kagandahan, katalinuhan, 100%. It’s luck,” lahad ni Gloria.
Chika pa niya, noong sumalang rin siya sa Miss Universe ay hindi naman siya ang pinakamaganda sa mga kandidata.
Kuwento ni Gloria, “Hindi naman ako ang pinakamaganda roon, hindi ba? I mean we all know that and I must admit that but during my time it was an element of luck and I think even now. Kasi even in acceptance mayroong mahilig sa blonde, may mahilig sa maitim, maputi, lahat ‘yan.
“She stands a good chance that’s why she’s our representative but I don’t know especially that the whole Miss Universe is owned by a different person now. During my time, they were into sports, they were into wholesome, charity works, etc. Pero ngayon I think a lot of sexiness … and of course the controversial (inclusivity) all kinds and everything.”
