With the advantage of good foreign language skills and a very special mixed beauty between many ethnicities, these beauties have brought glory to the country.
1. Catriona Gray
New Miss Universe Catriona Elisa Magnayon Gray was born in Queensland, Australia, to an Australian father and a Filipino mother. Her charming mixed-race beauty and fluent English have helped the 24-year-old model win three crowns in her career: Miss World Philippines, Miss Universe Philippines and most recently, Miss Universe.

Six years ago, the 25-year-old model competed in a beauty pageant but only made it into the Top 12. Returning after a period of training, Karen Gallman is considered a strong candidate from the host country.
3. Pia Wurtzbach
Pia Wurtzbach was born in 1989, her father is German, her mother is Filipino. The 29-year-old beauty has mixed blood, so her face is sharp, both modern Western and elegant Eastern. Compared to previous representatives, Pia has all the outstanding factors to win: excellent appearance, quick response skills, fluent foreign languages and a lot of experience. With 3 times participating in Binibining Pilipinas, the “mixed-race rose” has just won the highest award, a ticket to the Miss Universe 2015 contest and really made a difference.
4. Megan Young
Megan Young, born in 1990, is the first Filipino beauty to win the Miss World beauty pageant. In the same year 2013, she was voted “Miss of Misses” by Global Beauties .

Lastimosa competed in Miss Universe 2014 in Florida, USA and was named in the Top 10. That year, Paulina Vega of Colombia was crowned.
6. Venus Raj
Venus Raj is of Filipino and Indian descent. Besides her stunning figure, she is remembered for the scandal that almost stripped her of her crown in her home country. Specifically, Venus Raj was accused of lying when filling out her application, because her birth certificate showed she was born in Qatar, not in Camarines Sur, Philippines as she stated in her application.
In the final night of Miss Universe 2010 , Venus Raj was named in the Top 5. However, with a very bad answer, the representative of the Philippines had to accept the title of 4th Runner-up.
7. Valerie Weigmann
In 2014, the German-Filipino mixed-race rose won the right to represent her country at the Miss World contest after beating 25 competitors.
