May 26, 1999 could have been a date of jubilation and
celebration for the Filipino people, and avid Filipino
pageants. It has been exactly 10 years ago that Miriam
Quiambao, a 24-year old licensed physical therapist and gym
instructor, nearly captured the third Miss Universe crown
for the country, just to be upset by Mpule Kwelagobe of
Botswana.

That's the last time the Philippines was able to enter the
semi-finals. Year by year, Philippine candidates had failed
to replicate the success of preceding candidates.

Although the pageant-crazy country like the Philippines
faile year by year on the start of this millenium in the
Miss Universe, the country made impressive performances in
other global beauty tilts with several finalists on the Miss
World, and victories in Miss International, Tourism Queen
and Earth.

Will the Philippines end the 10 year drought in the Bahamas?
Find out if our very own Pamela Bianca Manalo tries her luck
to bring home the crown this August...
