Paano nahulaan ni Margie?

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines – A few days before the Year of the Sheep ended, a clip of the 1973 Miss Universe pageant in Athens where Margie Moran won went viral, showing Margie with Miss USA while host Bob Barker is reminding the two that the first runner-up would assume the duties if Miss U was unable to.

As part of this halo-halong hula-hula, Funfare asked how Margie guessed that she was “it.”

From Margie:

How funny that someone just noticed it. In the ‘70s, there was no YouTube yet. If I can recall 42 years ago, when Bob Barker stood so close to me, I saw a short word first on his cue card and then a long word as Miss Universe. So I presumed then that the short word was USA and the long word was Philippines. But, of course, I was not 100 percent sure until Bob’s announcement. My expression on video in both the “silip” and the announcement were still with great excitement.
