Even those who fell short in taking home the crown for the Philippines – Miriam Quiambao , Ruffa Gutierrez , and Maria Venus Raj to name a few – have won the hearts of many Filipino fans. Gloria Diaz became the first Filipina to win the Miss Universe crown in 1969, with Margie Moran following closely with another win in 1973. Having two crowns within four years was a huge feat for the Philippines as at that time, only two other countries had reached that milestone: the United States and Brazil.
While Miss Universe and Miss International were the biggest titles under their belt, BPCI also awarded minor crowns during its early years. From 1970 to 1985, they sent representatives to the Miss Young International pageant. BPCI also held the franchise to the Miss Maja International competition from 1973 to 1992, 1995, and 2004.
In the 2011 to 2014 editions, the Miss Tourism Queen International crown was under their roster. They had the Miss Supranational crown from 2012 to 2019. They acquired Miss Intercontinental in 2014 and Miss Grand International in 2015 but lost both in 2022. Since 2015, BPCI has been fielding the country’s representatives to the Miss Globe pageant.
Throughout its 60-year history, it was only during its 2020/2021 edition that the annual pageant had to delay its coronation night. Due to the global pandemic, BPCI had to postpone its initial 2020 edition and only held the coronation ceremony a year later, in 2021. It’s considered to be the longest edition of a national pageant in the Philippines in recent pageant history.
All in all, over the years of handling several franchises under their belt, BPCI produced four Miss Universe wins, five Miss International wins, two Miss Globe wins, one Miss Supranational win, and two Miss Intercontinental wins.
