Miss International 1979 Melanie Marquez from the Philippines

Our 3rd Miss International crown was won by Melanie Marquez who also later one competed in the Supermodel Of The World search in 1986 and ended up as 1st runner up. Melanie is also hailed by the Miss International Organization as the most beautiful Miss International winner.

[@dxdkaiser8519]

Ganda talaga ni Melanie Marquez non!!

[@jakernz518]

The unforgettable moment of MM's winning. She was stunningly beautiful during that moment❤

[@Blaaairo4]

For sure green ang gown ni Michelle sa MU 💚

[@taroupriapus9760]

In preliminaries only In the final she wore a black gown, that's why maybe her luck ended 😢

[@acesean1000]

Grabeh, 15 y/o lang sya pero 5'10" na!!!!

[@carenjep7775]

Ang tangkad naman kasi ni Temyong Marquez

[@taroupriapus9760]

It's common in other countries. Miss world 1992 from Russia was 18 that time and she's 6'2"

[@apporvakapoor9293]

[@ebakuladalipot7639]

Ang galing nya sa long gown just like wyn wyn

[@marilynsarian7810]

Congratulations 👏 Ms. International of 1979, our very own fellow Filipino 🇵🇭 Ms. Melanie Marquez!

[@alexchow7235]

The contestant who collapsed on stage was Nancie Foo, Miss Malaysia

[@BenjiYbanez]

I am shocked at how Melanie managed to win against WOMEN that are aged 20 - 25. Some of them were 12 years older than her, Can you imagine how scary that must be?She was just a teenager at the time but she carried herself like she was a grown adult and WON the crown. Hats off to her cuz I’m impressed. Makes me wonder tho, how is it she was able to compete Miss international knowing that the age requirement was 17 - 27 at the time? Wouldn’t they have not allowed her to compete? Someone correct me or answer.

[@OlgaOrtega-dw6rg]

It's destiny

[@taroupriapus9760]

I asked several people about this, it was claimed Melanie was only 15 making her the youngest Big 4 winner of all time. But in the videos of miss international her age stated was 18. Here's the truth. Melanie was born in 1964, thus she's really 15 years old when she won Miss international. During BB Pilipinas 1979 the organizers weren't strict about age requirement that's why she was allowed to compete. When she won BB Pilipinas -International she was originally assigned to compete in Miss Young International because she's a teenager, but because she's no good in English Gloria Diaz suggested she would be sent in Miss International (Gloria also trained her). Then during Miss International, her then manager Renee Salud falsified her passport changing her age to 18 and styling her to appear older to convince the miss international organizers. They only discovered her real age after she handled her crown the following year. Melanie already said about this in several interviews before.

[@acesean1000]

I remember yung kinwento ni Melanie nun, sabi nya, bago sya tumulak papuntang Japan to compete, may isang batang lalaking hindi nya kilala na nakapasok daw sa room nya sa hotel, at gustong sumama sa kanya, gusto naman syang isama ni Melanie kaso wala naman syang plane ticket!!! At sabi nung bata ay "MANANALO KA"!!!! At nung malingat si Melanie, bigla na lang nawala yung bata!!! Hindi gawa-gawa ito ha, True Confession nya talaga ito . . .

[@m.b8506]

this is why MMD got her prelim gown inspired by her moms gown and swimsuit combine together wow very fantastic idea MB

[@ravega2]

Melanie Marquez won because of her humble ❤️❤️❤️....

[@TheMicko27]

and her being honesty....

[@judgmentday221]

Ano ba kayo! Bakit, bawal ba magsinungaling sa contest? Rupert, baka you meant humbleness or humility! Hindi complete yung word mo esh!

[@kerrvinleongsonreyes887]

Humility

[@hakobangz25]

Actually Melanie was bashed prior to her competing in Ms. International. Because of her Filipino accent english. And her trademark was her "Long Legged" she pronunced it as (Lonf Leged) . Even those days competing in pageants takes away all your energy. And the bashers are bashing our candidates as if competing is as easy as opening a can with a can opener.

[@MaridalZTvLOGS8558]

apakaganda rin ni Melanie noong time niya

[@loveorangeToledotribe]

Iba talaga ang ganda at dating ni Ms Melani ❤

MM here is wearing green. I liked the green gown MMD worn during the prelim. Would it be another destiny had MMD worn that in the MU's finals?❤

[@taroupriapus9760]

MMD wore a black gown on the finals, that's why maybe her luck ended at that round
