MARGIE copy

AYON kay 1973 Miss Universe Margie Moran, honored siya sa recognitions na ibinibigay sa kanya ng Miss Universe Organization lalo na sa pagbibigay ng pribilehiyo na maging bahagi ng prestigious international event na idaraos sa ating bansa at sa coronation night sa Enero 30.

Dumalo sila ni 1969 Miss Universe Gloria Diaz sa Governor’s Ball at sa Filipina Royalty event.

“I am honored that we are not forgotten,” pahayag ni Ms. Margie. “Well, the Filipinos never cease to honor those that have brought honor to the country and I am proud that I am being honored as well. I want to believe that they are also honoring me for the things that I have done after the pageant. Winning the crown is not as important as what you do after you have the crown.”

Itinanong din kay Margie kung ano ang challenge na haharapin ng ating pambato sa Miss Universe na si Maxine Medina.

Kung negatibo ang opinyon ni Gloria Diaz sa posibilidad ng back-to-back win, para kay Margie, ay hindi ito imposible.

“I’d like to wish her luck because it’s tough because Pia (Wurtzbach) was the last year’s Miss Universe. But you can never tell. You know there’s no secret to winning. It’s how the other candidates look, who the judges are. The judges are mostly foreign and they’re not from the home country. So all that come into play, so you cannot tell,” sagot ni Margie.

Seryoso pa niyang sabi, “Judges do not judge because for a reason like Pia won last year. They don’t judge that way.

So she has an even chance with the others. I believe there’s no formula to winning and I feel that it’s destiny. If it’s meant for you, even if it’s in your home country it’s going to go to you,” ani Margie.

Nagbigay din ng opinyon si Margie tungkol sa suggestion na kumuha ng interpreter si Maxine sa question and answer portion ng Miss Universe, sakaling pumasok ito sa semi-finals.

“I agree that if she’s more comfortable answering in Tagalog and her thoughts come out in Tagalog, I would get an interpreter because you’re more comfortable doing that. And there’s no rule, there’s no point against that. You see the South American ladies and the Europeans they have interpreters. You just hope that the interpreter will answer also in a good way you know,” pagsang-ayon ng dating Miss U sa naturang suhestiyon.

Kahit na 64 years old na,bakas pa rin sa former Miss Universe winner ang kanyang ganda. Aniya, walang sekreto sa kanyang ageless beauty.

“My natural grace I think that is inherent in me. You grow up with that and you learn that from your parents and what your exposed to in life. I think that’s where you get the grace. I really have no secrets. I just take care of my health and that’s taking care of your skin.

“Being happy I think is the ultimate goal that anyone can do because when you’re happy you look good di ba? And you’re able to solve whatever problems that you have. So you’re living in the now and that’s what makes me happy,” payo ng maganda pa ring si Ms. Margie. (ADOR SALUTA)
