One of my memorable icons in the 1970s when I was 13 years old in 1973 were the images of a Filipina (Pinay wasn't a term yet in those days) beauty named Miss Margarita Moran winning the Miss Universe crown. The following year (1974) Imelda Marcos invited the Miss Universe staffs to held the next Miss Universe pageant in the Philippines. The Folk Arts Theater was immediately built thru the strict orders of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos. First let's flash back to the year 1973 at Athens, Greece.

Maria Margarita “Margie” Roxas Moran-Floirendo, from the Philippines, won the Miss Universe crown in 1973 in Athens, Greece.
The full-time university student and part-time Auggie Cordero model won the right to represent the country in the Miss Universe pageant after winning the Miss Philippines competition. Moran said that she entered the contest because of the incessant urgings of friends and family.
The 19-year-old, 5ft 6in beauty was one of the favorites during that edition, also garnering the Miss Photogenic title.
She eventually married Congressman Antonio "Tony Boy" Floirendo and settled in Davao, managing a resort called "Pearl Farm" in Samal Island. |
