Should titleholders be given a lifetime-free pass, to attend the same pageant they once won?

It depends who the owners, sponsors, managements, organizers and stuffs. Even the key players in an organization changes which means they are under new management and that's usually being said when it happens. In short, it's unlikely that they would always be invited and besides, it's a social etiquette not to be. People will gonna feel intimated with your presence all the time. As such, people would think that they are not good enough to be there and you are better than them.

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.

I saw past editions of Binibining Pilipinas where it was customary or it became a tradition that past winners assembled in
Araneta to watch the show. Some of them were given the task to come up the stage and give the sash for special awards.
And there are some who didn't do anything at all, just sit and watch the proceedings. But everybody was happy and it was
just like a reunion of sorts to some of them. Just the mere presence is enough, and these ladies obliged by giving their time.
I saw beauty queens who became an annual fixture in the event. And we can't fault them for that. They are part of the
organization's history of winners.

The relevant social questions have mostly been answered by noted respondents above. But the financial parameters have not been duly covered. As it is the norm, beauty queen's reign and privileges usually lapse after a year of reign is over. Who then shall pay for her airfare, hotel accommodation and billeting, security and safety during the period of travel in a foreign destination, health and medical insurance during her visit, the logistical requirement such as manpower, airport meet and transfer and inland transport during the duration of the pageant? There are related expenses incurred administratively -- from the minute the past queen is listed through later when contact is established for her to grace the pageant night finale, i.e. visa fees, tel. calls, e-mail, etc.. Is the past beauty queen removed from the inconvenience of such incumbrance? If the answer is no, will the search organization defray the burden of cost as might be required for the invite to materialize? These cost items equate to hard cash which the organization might find lacking in its coffers? Say, if five of the past winners are invited and are able to come, the cost in $ units can multiply exponentially! Go figure, if 10 more queens have manifested their interest to attend - - total expenditures could be staggering! imagine that!

Re: Question of the Day

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!"

"Courtesy invite" with RSVP, we call it in recent years -- if such a thing still exists in the wake of the financial crisis everyone is facing these past months. In the case of MSMdeA, as far as I know, few of the Bb. Pilipinas winners in the years past stay loyal and are counted in MSMdeA inner circle of friends or might even be regarded "adviser" as may be sought by the Chairman Emeritus in a friendly tete-a-tete (no official bearing to the judging proper!)

A couple and more of these previous winners run their personal businesses where some stall owners in the Araneta City enclave are repeat resellers of these beauty queens' supplier products, i.e. cakes and pastries, RTWs from overseas, expensive leather items as handbags and fashion accessories. These ladies are reserved with the best seats and unobstructed aisles near the stage at the Smart-A Coliseum during the grand finals. Most of these queens have families and friends in the Metro so that MSMdeA doesn't have to offer a matron's "rescue" during the beauty queens' stay in Metro. If push comes to shove, a room at the adjacent Novotel-M may be offered. The guest rooms at the Bahay-Na-Puti not far away from the venue are on stand-by and barring any circumstance can be had for a stay or two.

As to the past titleholders of male personality contests staged in Manila, it's no longer preposterous to assume that some of the past winners (including delegates) have developed friendships and "loyalty" with some richer patrons in Manila. If they decide to come and join the fray, support "in and of any kind" may come flowing, "string or no-string" attached. It may come either way depending on how an outsider takes a look at this arrangement. That perception, if I may, is no longer our concern or responsibility. (I happened to hear this juicy bit from a friend who took a leave from work and came to Manila from Dubai where he's based as a couturier. He hosted once a foreign male delegate who stayed in RP almost month after the grand finale has concluded because the foreign delegate travelled the islands as a regular starry-eyed tourist in the country.)

A simple yes or no would suffice. Should they be given free tickets or not?

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.

Alright, we can agree if that's what satisfies you. I was hoping that it goes less complicated but sorry to state the obvious, there's more to a beauty queen's "own transport and accommodation" thingy than meets the eye. Particularly in a situation that will require a couple of more days to stay and its attendant costs. We can't simply assume that the titleholder has sufficient funds to cover the rest of her forward expenses. Most unsettling of all: will she, owing her stature, feel comfortable and safe in a low budget accommodation and billeting facility? If her funds aren't sufficient enough, the average domestic arrangements may not look suitable to her needs. No doubt, the beauty queen must be high with the excitement and honored because of the invite and her presence would be a blast! But summing it all up, she should be asking herself:- what's in it for me?

You see, it's even financially burdensome to all parties involved to invite all past winners of so many pageantries with free passes. They are so many of them now. But it's more of social etiquette and grace not to attend yearly because people will be intimidated with their presence if they are always there.

Only if they're invited to. They can't just attend every year and expect free hotel accommodations. 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

I think MGI is doing that scheme to all the former titleholders from the inaugural edition up to the latest one except Anea Garcia (MGI 2015-A) and Claire Parker (MGI 2015-B), where they should attend the pageant every year except last March 2021 (prior to Delta variant) where they appeared virtually as judges in the finals. Anea was dethroned/resigned, MGI decided to cut ties with Claire after she applied to compete at Miss Universe Australia 2019 where she failed to advance in the Top 10.

An exception to this, the 50th Gold Edition of Binibining Pilipinas in 2013 where all the past winners were presented per batches onstage, waving to the live audience once again. So happy to see those who won Binibining Pilipinas crowns in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and so on. :7 :7 :7 I would love to see them back at the 60th Diamond Edition of Binibining Pilipinas in 3 years time.

Yes, as a sign of courtesy to the once winners. But can also be No, as these winners can afford to buy a TICKET if they are interested to watch the coronation night.

Note: I assume you are referring to the venue ticket and not the airfare ticket nor the accommodation ticket. :-j :-j :-j

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!"


Yes, Ms Gloria Diaz should always be in. That Ate Gloria Laban Dera is always coming in something that will wake up everyone's sensibilities even at the wee hours of the night during the coronation of Binibining Pilipinas. The last one she got invited to judge when she pointed out that We are all Plastics regarding an environmental issue she raised as a question to a candidate. Subsequently, like her and Sushimta Sen, they were crowned as a teenager at age 18 because when they faced with the judges, all that they have given answers are all loviness in its craziness. They gave all crazy answers to impress and charm the judges so they went GAGA for both beauties.

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.

But can you ask Venezuelans to invite Brooke Lee in their country. She didn't insult them but she was made persona non grata. A competition is a competition. She needs to put her feet forward so she'll win. Her answer was ill prepared so nothing to be doubtful about a question she answered that it was given earlier in the competition.
