Gloria Diaz at Pilar Pilapil
KONTRA ang veteran star na si Pilar Pilapil sa pahayag ng kapwa niya beauty queen at aktres na si Gloria Diaz na “99% of beauty is youth.”
Para kay Pilar Pilapil, ang tunay na kagandahan ay maaaring ihalintulad sa wine – na habang tumatagal ay lalong sumasarap.
“I don’t, I’m sorry. Beauty to me is something that needs to age like wine,” ang pahayag ng beteranang aktres sa panayam ng “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” nang tanungin kung sang-ayon ba siya sa pananaw ni Gloria.

Patuloy pa ni Pilar Pilapil, “I remember those pictures that I had when I was very young, and I didn’t look as…this is my opinion, I look better when I was already older. Not when I was very young, definitely.”
Sa mga hindi pa masyadong aware, nanalong Binibining Pilipinas Universe 1967 si Pilar Pilapil habang kinoronahan namang Miss Universe si Gloria Diaz 1969.
Naniniwala rin si Pilar na napakaraming pinagdaraanang pagsubok ang mga kababaihan na siyang humuhubog sa kanyang “kagandahan”.
“Because in the first place you go through many, many stages in your life as a young person.
“You go through, for instance, a heartbrokenness, you go through so many problems and struggles in life. It takes time to be happy,” paliwanag ng aktres at magaling na kontrabida.
Dagdag pa niya, “So when you are happy, that’s when you become beautiful.”

Binalikan din niya ang eksena nang tanungin siya ng American media personality na si Bob Barker ng, “Are you really 18?” nang lumaban siya sa Miss Universe sa edad 16 sa Miami, Florida.
“I remember that. I said, ‘What do you think?’ And he smiled and then I went,” aniya kasabay ng pagsasabing hindi raw niya talaga hinangad noon ang magwagi.
“I wasn’t thinking of that. I was not really a full-grown woman. I was just a kid. I was a young girl.
“I was surrounded with beautiful women and some gentlemen that were eyeing us around. it was quite an experience but as a young girl, it was quite overwhelming,” ang pag-amin pa ni Pilar Pilapil.
