The Miss International pageant has shattered the norms of global beauty competitions by releasing the official rankings of its delegates in the 2023 event. The decision to disclose this information comes as a testament to the pageant’s commitment to transparency and openness, providing the public with an exclusive look into the inner workings of the competition.
Stephen Diaz, the Filipino head director of the Miss International organizer International Cultural Association (ICA), emphasized the importance of transparency in an interview with INQUIRER.net. Diaz stated, “The public deserves to know, and it’s good to make people still talk about us even though the pageant is over. Now that I am fully in charge, I believe in transparency and fair play. Judges decide who will place or not. That’s what pageants should be.”
During the recent the Miss International 2023 competition, Binibining Pilipinas Nicole Borromeo secured the third runner-up title. The event took place at the Yoyogi Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan, on October 26, where Andrea Rubio from Venezuela claimed the crown, marking the ninth victory for the country since the pageant’s establishment in 1960.
