Miriam Quiambao is by far, the most gorgeous Miss Philippines to grace the Miss Universe stage in more recent times.....followed by Nina Ricci Alagao. If only Miriam didn't let her nerves get to her, she would've been Miss Universe 1999. Julie Moran and Ali Landry were both surprised that Nina didn't make the finals either in 2000. She was the perfect formula to have another semifinalist in 2000, but somehow she was overlooked. Filipina women are known to be one of the most exotic and beautiful women in the world. Since Filipinas are a mix of both Asian and Spaniard blood, they can be very unique looking. Since the beginning of the 2000's, the Philippines has sent some worthy contenders (eg: Zorayda Ruth Andam, Maricar Balagtas, Lia Ramos)...but more recently, the wardrobes and the styling of the Philippine delegate has been poorly outdated, and even more embarrassing, recycled clothing from almost a decade ago. My personal opinion is that even if these girls were to shop at H&M or even make their own clothes that are up to par with the present, they would do a better job with representing. The wardrobes are absolutely ghastly, and therefore the girl isn't noticed as a fashion forward delegate. Unlike Miss Japan (who is always so chic and in style) the organization tends to use pageant patty style evening gowns and outfits that don't quite coordinate together. since I am Filipino, I do sometimes wish that the Filipina will once again make an impact at Universe, but that's not going to happen until something is done with the organization behind the girl. I really do like Jennifer Barrientos, and I can only hope that the preliminary judges see her for her natural and sweet beauty instead of the tacky crap that she'll be wearing.
