Not necessarily, but people would love to see and feel their presence gracing the affair. It is not obligatory,
but I would really love past winners to come out and be counted and witness the crowning of the new queen.
They don't even need an invitation. It is a free pass and having that kind of thinking becomes an annual
habit of fun, beauty, and friendly competition. And there are still few reasons:
1. Everybody loves a star-studded affair. It is like who's who in the pageant firmament.
2. Their presence is adding more glamour and glitz.
3. Seeing them gives the impression of continued support to the organization.
4. Gracing the affair is an added attraction and will lure fans to queue in the box office and spend their
hard-earned money. It is good for business then.
5. It shows camaraderie and sisterhood.
6. The event shows class, elegance, and pulchritude.
7. It shows assistance to the organization's cause and their belief in their vision and mission.
8. Gathering of high-profiled people shows clout, the event is celebrated, illustrious, and legendary.
9. It is entertaining. Even invited guests to make intermission numbers should be the best in their craft.
10. Even judges should be the creme de la creme, haut monde, and toast of the town.
It is the most awaited event of the year, it would be foolish for the past winners not to see, and be
seen TAMBIEN.

The question of the day is about the same title holder that will grace the event yearly until forever she will live. It means to say again, are you in favor for the same girl, lady or woman to attend the functions yearly to eternity.

Yes, they can be recipients of a free airfare if that satisfies you. Will that suffice? Who will shoulder the rest of the expenses? Will the beauty queen be left on her own resources for the duration of her stay? For a random staycation, a legit airfare is not even a quarter of the cost of stay in a foreign destination, tbh. No offense meant, but you may inquire from those who have travelled particularly the % of costs to the sum of the budget to clear the matter.

We agree that they're responsible for their own transportation and accommodation like everyone else, however, should they be let into the venue free, because they were former titleholders of the local pageant.

Imagine if the pageant winners count has gone up to 100 and if they all show up every year that's like double the expenses that the pageant org to shoulder. And same goes to free tickets. Pageant Org would lose so much money unless these pageant queens would settle sitting at the very back of the audience
Prozac wrote:I was once privy to the finals of a male pageant when I was vacationing, I was a friend of the organizer so I get
the behind the scenes dirt, and witness what was going on. In the finals, a lot of previous winners came to grace
the show, so I was intrigued to ask the organizer, "are you giving them some kind of honorarium, a gratuity
compensation, or a talent fee perhaps for showing up here?" I almost fall from my chair when the organizer said:
"No they come on their own", was his curt reply.
"Seriously?" I was still a doubting Thomas. And my friend gave me a litany of reasons why they showed up without
any tip or financial reward. First of all the pageant was held in Manila, and all the past winners came from Manila
and the neighboring cities. They showed up spending their money or their managers'. We didn't worry about their
plane tickets, their hotel accommodations, travel expenses, their formal attire, etc. They came straight from their
homes and not a five star hotel.
So what's the catch? I asked. Well coming here they will rub elbows with the candidates, movie producers, fashion
designers, movie reporters and other people in authority who can give them a job, a movie offer perhaps, or modeling
or TV assignments. Staying at home and be idle will not give them anything, so they go out to see and be seen, and if he
is lucky enough some tempting offers will come his way.
I was not convinced with what my friend said, I ended up consoling myself, "I guess male pageants are treating their
winners like just any ordinary people, whereas on the other side, they treated their winners their queens that you
have to give them all good things and all the pamper the queen deserved.
I am not familiar with how Madame Stella worked with her previous queens, but there are several instances before
when every time the judges were introduced we saw three rows of beauty queens clapping at the back. Did they come
on their own or did Madame Stella untighten her belt and gave them all free accommodations and other more handsome
benefits for showing up? Because if the answer was the latter, beautywatchny is right. Money is hard these days and we
have to consider that the more beauty queens Madam invite, the more expenses she will incur.
I guess I was answering a vague question if titleholders are allowed to attend the same pageant they once won? And what
more can I say but, "LET THEM IN!"

I would love Brooke Lee Miss Universe to be invited even once in Venezuela. She was made persona non grata after she answered an ill prepared response but Venezuelans thought the question was given before hand to her.

I have to clarify my post. If i am the owner of a national pageant like for example MUP or Bb. Pilipinas i would only invite the filipina queens who won international titles every year for free. Pero inviting international winners also won't hurt and make them as part of judging panel as well.
