Super hands down talaga ako sa GMA pag dating sa documentary. Yung mga ganitong content napaka hirap i research kahit na may google na. The authenticity and the delivery of stories are always amazing. 👏👏👏
Pura Villanueva Kalaw was not the first beauty queen she was just the replacement of Leonarda Limjap who was the original that year because the winner declined the title because she was scheduled to go to Japan for a holiday with her family
The 1908 manila carnival was marred with controversies because of the method that the organizer used in determining the winner was by balloting thats why the Philippine Assembly ( House of Representative today) intervened out of the 69 votes Leonarda Limjap got 39 and the second highest votes went to Pura Villanueva in fact Pura Villanueva was very reluctant to accept the offer to replace Leonarda limjap because she is contented to just rule the Iloilo Carnival. The competition for the very first manila carnival was very stiffed because all of the candidates came from wealthy families and they are all well educated as well thats why the organizers were very concious in choosing the winner . The candidates this year are Leonarda Limjap, Pura Villanueva, Carmen Francia, Dolores De Morio, Paz Yangko and Inocencia Reyes
Pen maker Ang ibig sabihin dahil declined si Leonarda Limjap pa rin ang nanalo dahil hindi sya nag resigned as winner or disqualified because she has done something immoral. May naka schedule sya na byahe patungong japan thats why hindi sya pwede pero hindi nangangahulugan na hindi na sya ang winner. Kailangan ng Organizer ang maghanap ng proxy winnner dahil ang carnival queen ang highlight ng Expostion na ito wala silang choice kong hindi tinaggap ni pura villanueva ang offer the organizer can offer it to the other candidates masta lang may maipakita silang winner sa gabi ng coronation para masiyahan ang manonood
Yan ung time na wala pang retoke noh kung totoo tlaga ang time machine Gsto ko bumalik sa nakaraan ng Manila kung saan buo pa ang ibang structure na pinagawa ng Spanish dba
I remember seeing her picture for the first time in a magazine 12 years ago (I'm from Baguio). She is indeed a stunner, with brown skin and thick, wavy long hair; an Ibaloi beauty.
I don't care kung half sila pero ung puso nila Filipino, un ang tunay na makabayan, mas Pilipino pa nga sila kesa satin eh, si Catriona Gray lang talaga ang nakitaan ko na ipinagmalaki ang pagiging Pilipino by showing to the world not just beauty, not just ung kabutihan but also the culture and the products natin. Sana ganun din tayo, tangkilikin ang sariling atin. Iba talaga ung impact ni Catriona Gray (opinion ko lang po ito)
Hindi naman talaga ang half pinoy ang problema , ang tunay na problema ay , HINDI PO TUNAY NA FILIPINA ANG PAMUMUHAY NG MGA SUMASALI AT NANALO SA PAGEANT NA NASA PILIPINAS kasi po ANG TUNAY NA FILIPINA EI MAYUMI AT MAHINHIN AT MAY PANANAMPALATAYA .
@@eaume72 your idea of a Filipina is an outdated Maria Clara ideals where men dominated the women and the women had to be submissive. The 20th century, the new woman was able to gain freedom, rights, and knowledge. The new Filipina is just like that.
Nabibilang nlang sa daliri ang tunay na dugong pinoy sa panahon ngayon, yung mga nsa tribu nlang cguro na nka preserve ang kultura hanggang ngayon, Kasi mostly tyong mga pinoy may halo na ng ibang lahi ang dugo.
True, pero sana kagaya ni Pia, fluent sa tagalog. Coz' if you have a filipino heart, then you should have the heart to study the language. I'm not a hater of Catriona, but why didn't she learned tagalog? Kumanta sya ng kanta ni Moira, mali mali pa.
My “Lola” was a Manila Carnival entry as Miss Mandaluyong as a young lass. I remember seeing a postcard style picture of her dressed pompously and branded as Miss Mandaluyong. I was desperately trying to inquire about the photo from relatives to no avail. I am so sure that she was the one on the picture because of the prominent mole on the tip of her nose. I wish I could just dream about those times to experience it. It must be very enchanting.
Honestly Rabiya Mateo can use this documentation about Pura Villanueva as her inspired national costume. Since she’s an Ilongga and the first queen of Manila Carnival. So I think this would be a best winning piece for Rabiya.
Thanks, I-Witness for showing us this side of our history. This shows why beauty pageants are deeply embedded in our society, as well as the impact it made among us. ❤
GMA talaga, pwede nang isabak sa international stage dahil sa mahusay at mataas na kalidad sa paggawa ng dokumentaryo! Like this one. Also, Philippines will soon become "The Pageant Aficionado of the World." due to the strong and serious dedication for pageants
Crazy how history mirrors itself in the present. Rabiya Mateo who was also an Ilongga was the first-ever MU PH (seperated franchise) in Philippine pageantry!
Wow, the Manila Carnival Queen pageant that started in 1908 predates the oldest international pageant that started in 1951 (Miss World). The Philippines was already ahead of its time in that regard. The backstory coupled with interesting facts of that era would make this a brilliant and engaging autobiographical full length feature film. Hope someone takes the initiative.
Ang tanong is KIKITA Ba ? Takot din ang mga producer sa ganyan..mas bet nila ang mga pelikulang basura ng STAR CINEMA kasi may mga bobong supporters ...
@@drix_tv yun kasi yun. They keep on telling story to the audience na gusto lang sumabay sa uso or what. Pero kung tutuusin, kung magsasalaysay sila ng kwento na ganto kaganda. Tatangkilikin yan ng mga Pilipino, dahil unang-una sa lahat, Pura herself is a very interesting person. Knowing na yung mga Woman's right in the Philippines originated from her. Wake up call din tong kwento niya kasi may mga beauty pageants na wala lang lalo yung sa mga barangay hahaha. Nanalo nga pero ano bang advocate ng Ms. BRGY?
Ganito dapat pinanunuod ko eh... Hindi yung kung ano ano na walang kwentang video. I'm glad na i watched this kasi i learned a lot and sisikapin ko na sumunod sa yapak ng mga reyna na meron cause or purpose sa buhay... Hindi man ako isang beauty queen but i wanna make sure na from today moving forward everything that i will do will make a positive change in someone's life and glorify GOD.
Amen...True everybody God created us in a unique way kahit hindi ka Reyna may I aambag ka sa ating society...I am so proud and appy enough na dito pla sa Iloilo City nanggaling ang kauna unahang Reyna Carnival Queen ng ating bansa and that was 1908..Basta Ilongga guapa
*Such a marvelous piece! Shows the diversity of the Filipino people, the beauty and innate nobility in manner and refinement of the Filipina, and that the first queen of the Philippines was not a meek woman, but truly a woman of substance: fiercely intelligent, knew herself, and was ready to fight for the rights of other women; her physical beauty was something to be admired, of course, but it is in being herself that this woman truly deserves to be called a queen. The Philippines has done right in this department. Beautiful!*
Additional information.....Pura was a second choice, the original winner was Leonarda Limjap, a Chinese meztisa and daughter of industrialist Mariano Limjap and Maria Escolar who owned a beautiful mansion near Ayala Bridge and Echague St. (now Carlos Palanca St.) in Quiapo, Manila. She however had to relinquish the crown to Pura to join her family in their family trip to Japan....
Ronaldo Adoptante, nice to know. Very grateful for you to point it out. Wow! But, unfortunately, Leonarda Limjap missed the boat when she relinquished the crown. " To the winner, the glory!", as the saying goes. And, maybe, the crown was really intended for Pura, the Queen of the Orient. She has a very good advocacy that represented the true sentiment of the Filipino people during those times, the American Occupation of the Philippines. It was through her leadership with help from her fellow women organization that the Filipino women were given the right to vote. Amazing, indeed! But, it would still be interesting to know what Leonarda Limjap contributed for our country, her own life story.
Wish the video has subtitles so that other nationalities can watch and understand the docu 😊 our first queen pala is halfie and I don't see any problems with that at all. Philippines is such a diverse country ever since.
Imagine naidelivered ng maayos ang kwenti sa kasaysayan ng mga dating mga carnival queen kahit na sobrang tagal na ng mga naikwento sa docu. Solid iwitness viewer 😊
been watching this during quarantine and let's admit it gma is good at making documentaries because of great journalists and researchers rather making dramas and telenovelas :D
As a Filipino Beauty Pageant enthusiast from the Philippines 🇵🇭 GMA Network I-Witness #IWitness #AngUnangReyna of Howie Severino a documentary tribute to the very first beauty queen 👑 of 1908, #ManilaCarnival Queen Pura Villanueva Kalaw (a Filipina feminist, journalist, and writer according to Wikipedia) from Iloilo City is a must watched among the Filipino beauty pageant aficionados. This is way before #MissUniverse #MissInternational and #MissWorld were born. She was born on 27th August, 1886 and passed away on 21st March, 1954 even before the first Filipina Miss International 1964 Gemma Cruz-Araneta and the first Filipina Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz were crowned.
@@raultiangson5666 qc sabi sa google. Weird lang na di pinakilala ng mga teacher nila o kahit flag ceremony habang nagsasalita si principal tuwing monday. Sa catholic school may isang subject na nakatuon dun sa buhay ng santo yung pangalan ng school nila.
Very Great docu sir Howie.. this is a great story of Madam Pura Villanueva Kalaw..i remember the time when I was grade two when my teacher said that it was during Manuel Quezon time signed a law allowing women to vote..I didnt know that it was Queen Pura's effort... i love also the comparison of Queen Pura to Queen Catriona..Queen Catriona have the guts to run for a senator so to have a more wider Voice in the Country and in the world and her advocacy more be heard and be a more Productive Queen not only in one year but all through out her time
Magaganda tlga mga ilongga..☺️ my late grandma and great grandma was born and raise in Jaro, iloilo bfore decided to live here in olongapo after ww2..some of my grandma's sister crowned as beauty queen in their province at that time.. We still have their pics. They were spanish meztisa too☺️💕
I love being an Ilongga and so proud of it.Iba talaga ang ilongga mabait, masipag, maganda at higit sa lahat puno ng kaalaman at hindi patitinag sa kinalalàgyan umaapaw ang mga biyaya natamong tagumpay sa larangan ng edukasÿon at prinsipyo na isinusulong kaya nga dapat saang gawain mo may isinusulong na adhikain sa ating bayan at sa mamayng pilipino ganyan kumilos ang mga Ilongga may sinabi sa salita at sa gawa.
im an ilonggo and proud na isang ilongga ang sumulong pra sa karapatan ng kababaihan sa bansa, salamat sir howie sa magandang dokumentaryo regarding our history, sana marami kapang mai doku tungkol sa kasaysayan nang ating bansa..
I witness and other GMA new program the best talaga. Mga researchers ang gagaling. They don't settle for less. No wonder its internationally awarded program. Great job!
Parang last year lang I stumbled upon a blog dedicated sa mga beauty queens from way back! As in. They where called carnival queen tapos in spanish pa yung mga sulat.
I do appreciate that the current Miss Universe learned a lot about Philippine culture and history because many of us in the Filipino Diaspora are doing the same thing to feel connected to our roots.
i love documentaries 😍😍 lahat ng mga kasaysayan or even sa ibang mga status natin here sa Philippines binibigyan nila ng chance to know and learn all about . dito nakikita ko na yung bagong miss universe Philippines 2020 na si RABIYA MATEO na from ILO-ILO din gaya ng pinaka unang queen's. may ibubuga talaga din sya to be the MISS UNIVERSE 2020 in international pageant 😊🤩
After watching it I've applauded. This kind of narrative historical information has brings an enlightenment as to how far beyond our deeply rooted admiration for beauty pageant in the Philippines. This makes us all to be proud of our country.
wow napanood ko to last year.. and now binalikan ko to dahil ironically taga ILOILO ang nanalong MISS PHILIPPINES ngayong 2020 PS taga LEYTE po ako mahilig lang talaga manood ng documentary at pageants😊😊😊
Naalala ko bigla lola ko, pinamana niya sa akin mga pictures ng mga artista noon dekada 50's and 60's. Mahilig lola ko magcollect ng mga pictures dati ng mga artista with authograph nila.
Love the docu. made me proud that beauty contest in the country is not just about beauty. i do hope indegenous filipino will represent our country anx change the status quo.
See? Pura Villanueva is a Filipina-Spanish. It means, she's a halfie. Tapos kung makareklamo ang iba dyan na puro na lang mga half queens ang pambato natin, wagas. Sa panahon ngayon ay wala nang pure Pinay dahil sa colonization ng Spanish, American at Japanese. Idagdag pa ang iba pang mga nationalities na piniling tumira sa Pilipinas at makapangasawa ng Pilipino. #JustMyOpinion
@@rc.6014 Pero ang mas dominant na foreign ancestry sa Pilipinas ay Chino. estimated na nasa 1-2 milyon ang Pilipinong may halong Chino kumpara sa mga msy dugong Español, Japon lalo na Amerikano.
Nakakaproud maging pinoy😁 sama ganitong istorya. Mabuhay ang pinas at sana tayong mga pinoy mas lalo p nating itong mahalin. Dahil napakayaman ng kasaysayan natin.
Here I am watching the First Miss Philippines, realizing that the newest crowned Miss Universe Philippines was also from Iloilo. Hmm "BASTA ILONGGA , GWAPA!!"❤❤❤❤
she deserve all the credits they should put her heroism in books in museums and all she done for para sa equality ng mga kababaihan ng bansa ng Pinas..the whple country deserve to know everything she does❤❤❤
Sana magkaroon ng series like Manila 1908 or Manila Carnival. This is a great venue to revisit our history, how pinay women were empowered during the American Times. Eto dapat pinapakita sa mundo hindi puro kabit kabit...
This means to say that our beauty queens are already beauty and brains long time ago. As Filipinos we should really heald our heads up high. We are a smart, intelligent nation. Not to mention ibang iba tayo in Asia in so many great ways. Aside from that mas hamak naman talaga na mas may itsura tayo sa ibang lahi. I've been abroad for a long time and I always introduce myself by saying I'm a filipino followed by my name. Ayoko kasi napag kakamalan na taga ibang bansa. I get upset about it. That's why I'm always proud as a filipino.
Proud Ilonggo here! Never thought that The First Queen of Philippines came from my beloved hometown. Never din kasing na feature sa lloilo ang mga ganito. Kudos to #GMA #Iwitness team for these very important documentary. Another added to Philippines History!
As a social studies major, it is such an honor if, i could see those collections personally, a huge privilege if i will given a chance to have an interview and a conversation to those people involved in this video. It is our concern as a socstud majors, to be more connected and to extend our horizons in regards of Philippine History. Shout out to our Senyor. Senyor Jhonil Bajado, soc.stud adviser, head of museum and archives, a professor in Samar State University.
See, noon pa man may advocacy ang mga beauty queens na Pinay😁 Something that is far from Latinas' and Americans' image of a beauty queen. Salamat Pura Villanueva-Kalaw.
Nagpapasalamat ako kay Maam Pura Villanueva - Kalaw kung hindi dahil sa inyo hindi namin mararanasan ang maipahayag ang aming karapatan bilang babae sa pamamagitan ng pagboto at hindi kami magkakaroon ng pantay na karapatan na tinatamasa ng mga kalalakihan pagdating sa edukasyon, pamumuhay at iba pa. Isang boses ng Women's Right at tunay na Reyna ng Orient Pearl. Sa taong ito alam ko po isang taga Iloilo ang nanalo sa Ms. Philippines kung hindi ako nagkamali, sana po maging modelo ninyo sa pagsulong ng karapatan ng mga kabataan at kababaihan si Ms. Pura Villanueva - Kalaw.
If Manila Carnival already had participants from other countries since 1908, is it valid to say that it was possibly one (if not) the oldest global beauty pageant? If the Philippines was only able to sustain its glory, it could have been hosting the longest running global beauty pageant. Wow

Pura Villanueva must be placed in our National Museum as the Mother of Philippines Pageantry to preserve her heroism. ❤️
Pura Villanueva Kalaw was not the first beauty queen she was just the replacement of Leonarda Limjap who was the original that year because the winner declined the title because she was scheduled to go to Japan for a holiday with her family

Parang miss millenial ng Eat Bulaga
Doña Pura Villanueva was the teacher of Lucresia Kasilag one of the National Artist for Music in the Philippines! 😍
Kahit yung unang reyna, Half Filipina. Hindi dapat ipagbawal ang mga half. Basta't pusong pilipina, yun yung importante
Hindi ipagbabawal yan imposible nako si "miss" spain nga naka pasok sa miss u

This is way before #MissUniverse #MissInternational and #MissWorld were born. She was born on 27th August, 1886 and passed away on 21st March, 1954 even before the first Filipina Miss International 1964 Gemma Cruz-Araneta and the first Filipina Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz were crowned.
Can you imagine ang pinakaunang reyna ng Pilipinas na si Pura is from Iloilo were Our miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo Lived! ❤️😍
Pumasok sa isip ko ang Pura V. Kalaw elem school kung saan nag aral ako ng grade 1. Sa kanya pala ipinangalan ang school na yon.
Wow di ka man lang na curious kung sino sya?
Saan ba itong paaralan na ito jean
@@raultiangson5666 qc sabi sa google. Weird lang na di pinakilala ng mga teacher nila o kahit flag ceremony habang nagsasalita si principal tuwing monday. Sa catholic school may isang subject na nakatuon dun sa buhay ng santo yung pangalan ng school nila.
wow :)
.
Woww 😍🤗🤗 grabe pala tayo noon. Ganito dapat klasing mga topic sa ating history book. Hindi puro people power at rizal.
THAT IBALOY QUEEN FROM BENGUET THOUGH! 😍
PS. PIA WURTZBACH AS PURA KALAW! ANU NA, GMA FILMS???!! PWEDENG PWEDE SA MMFF. PUSH NYO NA ITEY!
Very Great docu sir Howie.. this is a great story of Madam Pura Villanueva Kalaw..i remember the time when I was grade two when my teacher said that it was during Manuel Quezon time signed a law allowing women to vote..I didnt know that it was Queen Pura's effort... i love also the comparison of Queen Pura to Queen Catriona..Queen Catriona have the guts to run for a senator so to have a more wider Voice in the Country and in the world and her advocacy more be heard and be a more Productive Queen not only in one year but all through out her time
#CatrionaGray

Magaganda tlga mga ilongga..☺️ my late grandma and great grandma was born and raise in Jaro, iloilo bfore decided to live here in olongapo after ww2..some of my grandma's sister crowned as beauty queen in their province at that time.. We still have their pics. They were spanish meztisa too☺️💕
noon plang pla half filipina na ang mga na2lo sa mga beauty pageant.. but i am so blessed that was born filipino and a filipina..
Bow to the researchers!
I love being an Ilongga and so proud of it.Iba talaga ang ilongga mabait, masipag, maganda at higit sa lahat puno ng kaalaman at hindi patitinag sa kinalalàgyan umaapaw ang mga biyaya natamong tagumpay sa larangan ng edukasÿon at prinsipyo na isinusulong kaya nga dapat saang gawain mo may isinusulong na adhikain sa ating bayan at sa mamayng pilipino ganyan kumilos ang mga Ilongga may sinabi sa salita at sa gawa.
Very informative documentary ! Because of this vid, As a pageant enthusiast I am now more knowledgeable about our history of Philippine Pageantry.
ang napag aralan ko palang eh yung sa Philippine history. not about this one. sooo thank you so much for this.
Sana ito maging isang Inspiration na susunod na lalaban sa Ms. U 🥰🥰
im an ilonggo and proud na isang ilongga ang sumulong pra sa karapatan ng kababaihan sa bansa, salamat sir howie sa magandang dokumentaryo regarding our history, sana marami kapang mai doku tungkol sa kasaysayan nang ating bansa..
Im proud tobe iloilo2x wow tani sunod ulit meron miss unevers sa ilo2x liwat
I witness and other GMA new program the best talaga. Mga researchers ang gagaling. They don't settle for less. No wonder its internationally awarded program. Great job!
Parang last year lang I stumbled upon a blog dedicated sa mga beauty queens from way back! As in. They where called carnival queen tapos in spanish pa yung mga sulat.
Grabe hindi talaga nasayang ang title niyang "First Queen" 😯
Ang galing-galing! 1908 pa pala meron na tayong beauty queen. Thank you sir howie, and your researchers...Great job! More stories like this.
I do appreciate that the current Miss Universe learned a lot about Philippine culture and history because many of us in the Filipino Diaspora are doing the same thing to feel connected to our roots.
Ganda talaga ng Pinay like kung agree kayo 💕
Madami din namang panget
Ganda tlaga puday
Depende sa taste mo
Iba talaga ang kalibre ng IWitness!! Superb documatation!!
i love documentaries 😍😍 lahat ng mga kasaysayan or even sa ibang mga status natin here sa Philippines binibigyan nila ng chance to know and learn all about . dito nakikita ko na yung bagong miss universe Philippines 2020 na si RABIYA MATEO na from ILO-ILO din gaya ng pinaka unang queen's. may ibubuga talaga din sya to be the MISS UNIVERSE 2020 in international pageant 😊🤩
More research pa sa mga nagdaang siglo Howie Severino.. sarap balikan kung anung klaseng buhay meron mga Pilipino noon..
After watching it I've applauded. This kind of narrative historical information has brings an enlightenment as to how far beyond our deeply rooted admiration for beauty pageant in the Philippines. This makes us all to be proud of our country.
wow napanood ko to last year..
and now binalikan ko to dahil ironically taga
ILOILO ang nanalong MISS PHILIPPINES ngayong 2020
PS taga LEYTE po ako mahilig lang talaga manood ng documentary at pageants😊😊😊
Naalala ko bigla lola ko, pinamana niya sa akin mga pictures ng mga artista noon dekada 50's and 60's. Mahilig lola ko magcollect ng mga pictures dati ng mga artista with authograph nila.
Wow. Pura Villanueva, an Ilongga, is the first Carnival Queen. ❤
Wow! Nakakamangha through pageantry naipakita Ang karapatan ng Filipina thanks to Gng. Pura Villanueva-Kalaw
The best talaga ang GMA pagdating sa documentary. 👏👏
Beauty with a substance. Galing!
Kung pwede lang ibalik ang panahon♥️
Thank you GMA ❤️
Pura Villanueva inspired national costume for Miss Universe Ph 19, Gazini Ganados. Tribute na din para satin Unang Reyna. Agree??
i agree
Love the docu. made me proud that beauty contest in the country is not just about beauty. i do hope indegenous filipino will represent our country anx change the status quo.
Indeed a True Beauty Queen. Her advocacy for the women is still felt even up to this day!!! 💛💛💛
im so glad that gma made this. very educational and fun to watch...
"Philippines, still has more history deep inside the land of the pearl".. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Catriona is half Scottish actually although she was born in Australia. Her dad is a Scottish immigrant also.
The curator knows what he's doing. ❤
Designers of today must recreate their gowns as their memorials
See? Pura Villanueva is a Filipina-Spanish. It means, she's a halfie. Tapos kung makareklamo ang iba dyan na puro na lang mga half queens ang pambato natin, wagas. Sa panahon ngayon ay wala nang pure Pinay dahil sa colonization ng Spanish, American at Japanese. Idagdag pa ang iba pang mga nationalities na piniling tumira sa Pilipinas at makapangasawa ng Pilipino. #JustMyOpinion
may point.
@@rc.6014 Pero ang mas dominant na foreign ancestry sa Pilipinas ay Chino. estimated na nasa 1-2 milyon ang Pilipinong may halong Chino kumpara sa mga msy dugong Español, Japon lalo na Amerikano.
Nakakaproud maging pinoy😁 sama ganitong istorya. Mabuhay ang pinas at sana tayong mga pinoy mas lalo p nating itong mahalin. Dahil napakayaman ng kasaysayan natin.
Ok yung ganitong dokumentaryo malalaman ntin ang mga lumang kasaysayan n di alam ng karamihan
Here I am watching the First Miss Philippines, realizing that the newest crowned Miss Universe Philippines was also from Iloilo. Hmm "BASTA ILONGGA , GWAPA!!"❤❤❤❤
she deserve all the credits they should put her heroism in books in museums and all she done for para sa equality ng mga kababaihan ng bansa ng Pinas..the whple country deserve to know everything she does❤❤❤
9:02 kelangan ipreserve ang gnitong hairstyle.. keempee!!
Sana magkaroon ng series like Manila 1908 or Manila Carnival. This is a great venue to revisit our history, how pinay women were empowered during the American Times. Eto dapat pinapakita sa mundo hindi puro kabit kabit...
Anthology series na each episode about sa Manila Carnival Queen.
This means to say that our beauty queens are already beauty and brains long time ago. As Filipinos we should really heald our heads up high. We are a smart, intelligent nation. Not to mention ibang iba tayo in Asia in so many great ways. Aside from that mas hamak naman talaga na mas may itsura tayo sa ibang lahi. I've been abroad for a long time and I always introduce myself by saying I'm a filipino followed by my name. Ayoko kasi napag kakamalan na taga ibang bansa. I get upset about it. That's why I'm always proud as a filipino.
Basta dokumentaryo walang tatalo sa GMA magmula noon hanggang ngayon.
Proud Ilonggo here! Never thought that The First Queen of Philippines came from my beloved hometown. Never din kasing na feature sa lloilo ang mga ganito. Kudos to #GMA #Iwitness team for these very important documentary. Another added to Philippines History!
As a social studies major, it is such an honor if, i could see those collections personally, a huge privilege if i will given a chance to have an interview and a conversation to those people involved in this video. It is our concern as a socstud majors, to be more connected and to extend our horizons in regards of Philippine History.
Shout out to our Senyor. Senyor Jhonil Bajado, soc.stud adviser, head of museum and archives, a professor in Samar State University.
See, noon pa man may advocacy ang mga beauty queens na Pinay😁
Something that is far from Latinas' and Americans' image of a beauty queen. Salamat Pura Villanueva-Kalaw.
Nagpapasalamat ako kay Maam Pura Villanueva - Kalaw kung hindi dahil sa inyo hindi namin mararanasan ang maipahayag ang aming karapatan bilang babae sa pamamagitan ng pagboto at hindi kami magkakaroon ng pantay na karapatan na tinatamasa ng mga kalalakihan pagdating sa edukasyon, pamumuhay at iba pa. Isang boses ng Women's Right at tunay na Reyna ng Orient Pearl. Sa taong ito alam ko po isang taga Iloilo ang nanalo sa Ms. Philippines kung hindi ako nagkamali, sana po maging modelo ninyo sa pagsulong ng karapatan ng mga kabataan at kababaihan si Ms. Pura Villanueva - Kalaw.
If Manila Carnival already had participants from other countries since 1908, is it valid to say that it was possibly one (if not) the oldest global beauty pageant? If the Philippines was only able to sustain its glory, it could have been hosting the longest running global beauty pageant. Wow
That was pretty cool knowing she played a role in the rights of Filipino women to vote. 🎉
basta ilongga,,gwapa! proud ilongga here..
Bat naiiyak ako sa segment na to grabe... salamat pura villanueva 🥹🥹🥹 for standing with us for women's right.. ❤❤❤❤❤
