Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz on Beauty Pageants:
"But I don't like these very parang genius answers and people think just because you could speak English, magaling ka na. Hindi. Sa akin, gusto ko nga, mag-Tagalog sila, e, para it's more from the heart. This is not an IQ contest, it's a beauty contest."
A powerful reminder from a true queen — authenticity over showmanship. Speaking from the heart, in the language you're most comfortable in, carries more weight than trying to impress with big words. At the end of the day, confidence, grace, and sincerity shine the brightest.
