MELANIE MARQUEZ, Miss International 1979

Miss International 1979 Melanie Marquez commends Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach for her much-talked-about triumph. “First of all, I would like to thank all our beauty queens, who represented our country in the past. But a big congratulations to Pia! I am very proud of her, and she truly deserves the crown! I love her look that evening: Beautifully tanned skin, with hair pulled back to show off her perfect bone structure. She showcased the true beauty of a Filipino woman! She certainly stood out from the rest—she looked stunning!” Bayani San Diego Jr.
