Amparo Munoz was a clear winner! The most beautiful candidate that year! One of the most beautiful Miss Universe ever! And her reaction when she was announced as the winner!
Amparo Munoz was the most naturally beautiful and deserving when she was crowned Miss Universe 1974. A beauty with principle, she was one to stand and fight for personal convictions with typical Spanish fiery passion. Amparo did not finish her reign. She gave up the crown 6 months later when she resisted Miss Universe Organization manipulations and refused a trip to Japan, yet she was not dethroned - the first and only Spaniard to win that crown so far. May she rest in peace by God's grace.
Amparo was an irresponsible person and very unstable. She slapped one of the chaperones in her face because she did not want to follow the rules as a Miss Universe. She even mentioned it in her book---but in a softer way. She even wanted to quit the crown when she was still in the Philippines. Even in Spain she was very unreliable. She was very pretty but too stubborn to deal with.
your first miss universe wom here in our country, and she's my favorite miss universe so far, Miss Sushmita Sen, because of her popularity those time, hundreds of Filipina who was born on the day of her victory was name after her, so now many sushmita names here in Philippines, namaskar india
the cpp was first used for miss universe and it was the project of imelda marcos for the up coming miss universe that will be help in ccp near picc in pasay city

She had a strong temper but I think she was vulnerable until she died. I always felt bad for her because I could see that in every interview I watched.
Can't believe this happened 45 years ago. I am now 53 years old which means I was 8 years old back then. I remember collecting trading cards of all the candidates and we would go crazy at my gradeschool in Bacolod. The most popular card was that of Miss Finland, Johanna Raunio, and Miss Aruba, Maureen Ava Viera. See, I still remember their names haha!
I can relate to that mate, I was 11 at that time and we were crazy about it in school (boy's school!) I remember my favourites were the same as yours. Now it's 2018 and times have changed a lot. I surely miss those good old days. No mobiles, no FB, no Instagram, no social media bullying. We had more personal and human interaction.
@@arch.remleelavuap9290 Hi Elmer. I unfortunately do not have them anymore. I left the Philippines 40 years ago and have been living here in Germany since them. I lost contact with friends and classmates.
Ms. Philippines' equally lovely and was so relaxed when being interviewed, and to think she's only 18...and she's a natural Filipina beauty, looked so smart and intelligent. On the other hand, Philippines has done an amazing job in hosting that year's MU...no solo-singing performances like the MUs of today but cultural performances that are so wonderful to watch even today...Bayanihan Dance Troupe was a world renowned dance group during those years, and even the Pangkat Kawayan....gone are the days when such theatrical performances can be seen in beauty pageants...
Very true, these pageants used to be cultural exhibitions with lots of pride. About Miss Philippines, yes only 18 but very together and poised, class, excellent communication, very comfortable and secure in herself. She speaks four languages too.
This year the 12 semifinalists were so beautiful. It's so cute to listen Miss Puerto Rico speaking English with the pure Puertorican accent. She was only 18. Amazing!
The face of Amparo Munoz of Spain had caught my attention when I saw her on the Phil. newspapers showing all the candidates for the 1974 Miss Universe Beauty Pageant. To me, she has the most beautiful face and I had already in mind that she will win the Miss Universe Title and she did!!!! Miss Gloria Diaz, the 1969 Miss Universe and the first Miss Universe from the Phils., who is one of the three former Miss Universe guests in this pageant is so beautiful, poised and charming. I just can't help not to notice her beauty.
1:40:20 - Wow!! Look at the great legend of the Los Angeles Lakers wearing jersey #44 Jerry West... Once a year visited to the Philippines interviewed and one of the judges during Miss Universe 1974.. This was very first NBA player/legend visited to the Republic of the Philippines way back then...
Interesting note : each time Miss Universe is held in the Philippines, Colombia ends up as a runner-up! (3d runner up, 1974; 1st runner up, 1994; and 2nd runner up, 2016)
Yes, natural everything, no fakes, not just looks and grooming but also behaviour. And the national costumes were true cultural wear. That's what is needed today, not just going for big and loud or playing costume party, but delegates wearing real cultural ATTIRE/DRESS of true sizes and material.
2019 flashback. 1:12 Armi Kuusela the first Miss Universe from Finland who married a Filipino and lived in the Philippines. Gloria Diaz the first Miss Universe from the PHILIPPINES at that time looked like her daughter Isabelle Diaz, a famous Filipina actress and model.
It is nice to see this Ms Universe 1974. I cannot say enough about how much the people enjoyed it. All of the ladies were lovely and their demeanor admirable. The Filipinos loved the top 5, they ate just simply beautiful. I will remember each of their names forever. Spain: Amparo Muñoz Wales: Helen Morgan Finland: Joahnna Raunio Colombia: Ella Cecilia Escandon Aruba: Maureen Ava Viera All the boys were in love. Of course, Ms Amparo Muñoz was so beautiful.
What made these classic 1970's and 1980's pageant special was each young lady had her own look and style. They were graceful even without all the training they go through today. All the current contestants are so heavy prepared to speak English, they all have the same look as far a hair is concern-extensions. I was almost 9 when Miss Spain was elected Miss Universe. My mom was a huge fan, and still is today. We didn't miss the pageants each and every year. Our neighbor across the street from our NYC apt was a huge collector of everything from Spain, though she was Colombian. I remember mom calling her the next morning to talk pageant with her.
Amparo Muñoz, Miss Spain 1973,was there in Manila to Miss Universe 1974 and she won speaking Spanish only, on July 21st like today, but exactly 50 years back today. Her beauty and look Will be classical eternal one for ever and ever. She was a good actress in Spain and México.She pased away sadly enough on cáncer,on February 28,2o1May she rest in peace by God s grace.❤for her fans from Jesús, It is my ordinary mame in Spain and Portugal. Thanks to Carlos for these beautiful Miss U. Muchas gracias ❤😢
No puedo creer que vi todo el concurso completo de 1974! Me llama la atención que la gente de Filipinas es muy apasionada con sus candidatas, actualmente. Grita, aplaude y hace mucho ruido para apoyarla. En ese año, sólo aplaudía. Nada o poco ruido con la voz. También las pasarelas eran más sencillas y creo que poco calificaban eso. Se fijaban más en la belleza facial y sencillez. Ahora si no tienen buena pasarela, prácticamente deben olvidarse de ganar. En fin, los tiempos cambian y me siguen gustando más, los años 80s y 90s, del concurso.
its also excellent how Imelda Marcos managed to allot huge sums of money illegally to fund this event, despite how much people are struggling financially at this time
Miss Gloria Diaz was so beautiful in person, i've met and have a chat with her personally way back 1975 when i was employed in a salon in Makati, she's very fun to talk with she's not snob.
Pangkat Kawayan, the best of Philippine’s Musical Instrument and in the World for my opinion, we have to be proud and promote in the world this instrument Kawayan or Bamboo that only in the Philippines we have!⭐️⭐️🇵🇭🇵🇭
@@migdi5276dime una que sea natural sin cirugías porque imagínate si amparo se hubiese retocado algo si nivel de belleza te deja sin palabras y esa fotogenia desde los 80 se han ido operando no debería llamarse miss universo sino miss quirófano
can't believe how grand and impressive the show was... Philippines really showed the world we can do this like any 'developed' countries... and oh yes, we made sure the world got to see our beautiful country and culture.... kudos to the organizers.
The Philippines here was at its closest to becoming a developed country. The other time was during its Spanish colonial period. At the time of this Miss Universe, it was ranked number two in Asia Pacific, but a good part of it was its population was only 40 million and sustainable. Gov't and citizens' self-control and discipline is another part of it.
a year before i was born but miss philippines here is extremely graceful. this produced one of the the most beautiful if not the most beautiful miss universe miss Amparo Muñoz from Spain RIP
I think, this video should preserved by the Cultural Institution of Spain; frankly; I have seen many Ms Universe contests and Ms Amparo Munoz was and will be the most beautiful woman ever awarded with this title. She did not only represented herself but also her country and all its women even though her humble condition. The Spaniard women should be proud of her!!!!
It is so ironic that those miss universe winners who are truly beautiful did’nt finished their riegn (like miss spain in 1974 and miss russia in 2002). And those ugly bakekang winners like the winner in 1977 and 1998 completed theirs.
Definitely. Speaking of Spain at Miss Universe, they have been robbed two times now. They should have three Miss Universe titles now: 1974, 1985, 2013. 1985 and 2013 with their gorgeous and complete 1st runner-ups. Some even feel 1999, although Miss Spain 99 was not 1st runner-up.
I don't know if it's just me but it seemed that the Latina candidates were highly favored in this year. Prolly because PH shares common culture and tradition with them
The Philippines was really beautiful and very progressive in those times. It was very orderly, clean and looked like a paradise. How I wish we could be the great country that we were then!
"very progressive in those times”? - The Philippines was starting to fall behind its Asian neighbors, While it was falling behind even before Marcos became president, it just got further away from its neighbors during his regime. From 1965 to 1968, South Korea was behind the Philippines in GDP per capita, but starting 1969 South Korea took off and that’s progressive, Look it up in the World Bank data Source: data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD?end=1974&locations=JP-CN-KR-PH-MY-SG&start=1960&view=chart
@@archangellagi5768the Philippines was recovering from the insurgency brought about by the communist led by ninoy and joma and the separatist group from the south . The Philippines greatly improve from 1974 to the 80' when martial law was lifted. When Marcos went to the states and delivered those speech to American media..the Americans then plotted for his ouster.
MISS SPAIN AMPARO MUNOZ WON THIS 1973 MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT. SHE'S ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WINNERS OF MISS UNIVERSE EVER AND THE FIRST FROM SPAIN. RIP AMPARO.
Miss Colombia and miss Spain looks alike same as sisters , both are so beautiful, and miss Finland and miss maxico beautiful too but maxico couldn't selected in the list
So many countries that didnt participate today. Yugoslavia's candidate kinda looks like Kristen Stewart. Also, back in the days where every contestants got applauded. Spain and Sweden stands out for me. Wow top 12 was just so perfect choice. Everyone so beautiful and do have a class and elegance.
Mi coterranea Amparo Muñoz simplemente bella! Que recuerdos gratos. Me encantaba Miss Puerto Rico por su belleza y por ser tan sofisticada. Colombia preciosa y aumamente simpatica. Un grupo de mujeres bellas!
Amparo is so beautiful that it leaves you breathless. Her beauty is unrepeatable because it is natural without surgeries. Now they are all operated on. They operate and prepare them for years, losing their naturalness. Amparo's beauty can hardly be repeated again.
Hooray to the 1974 miss universe beauty pageant! Hooray to the Folk Arts Theatre! 🇵🇭 and most of all.. Hooray to our Late Ex-President Ferdinand Edralin Marcos and to his wife our Ex-First Lady-Imelda Romualdez-Marcos❤️! Whose idea in building the Folk Arts Theatre! 😍❤️😘😘😘
There is no other venue for MU than the Philippines,because the country and its people are so warm and very hospitable...Proud to be one Pilipina!!! Mabuhay
wow, Amparo Munoz was really stunning. in the parade of nations, Spain and Aruba got my attention the most. Helen Morgan meanwhile looked tired, I had to quickly brush up my memory that i'm looking at the 1st runner-up who would later win Miss World
Muchas mujeres bellas en ese concurso empezando por Amparo Muñoz, la ganadora. Ella murió joven, una pena. Miss Puerto Rico, Soni Stages'Chardon y Colombia muy lindas.
¡Saludos desde Manila! Sí, estoy completamente de acuerdo en que Amparo Muñoz fue la clara ganadora ese año. Tenía el factor X, si eso podía aplicarse a los concursos de belleza.
I commend the efforts of the FIRST LADY IMELDA ROMUALDEZ MARCOS for making the MISS UNIVERSE 1974 very , very successful , she was able to show to the world the richness of the Republic of the Philippines culture
@@ltljulian : There were no slums in 1970s.. garbage was non-existent as there were many street cleaners that were hired by Imelda.. slums started to proliferate when PH experienced it worst crisis in 80s...
The best host of Miss Universe, Bob Parker, Philippine representative Guadalupe is young, beautiful, intelligent, Forty five years ago one of the most decent, prestigious, beautiful, beauty contest in the world, judges of high caliber, integrity, decency, if we only turned back the hands of time, this is the best for our culture, history, and the best dance number, music of Pilipino culture is amazingly beautiful!❤️❤️⭐️⭐️🇵🇭🇵🇭
59:17 Bob Parker the host said welcome the world famous "THE BAYINAHAN" Philippines dance group, hehehehe it's BAYANIHAN (UNITED/HELPING ALL TOGETHER).
Desiree Cordero Miss Universe Spain 2014 reminds me of Amparo Munoz! Unfortunately, she wasn't included in Top 5 and Colombia, Paulina Vega won that year.
Helen Morgan, Miss Wales and 1st runner up, was also the winner a few months later of the Miss World pageant. Unfortunately Helen did not finish her reign as Miss World. She was forced to resign only four days after winning the pageant, upon the media discovering that she was an unwed mother with an 18-month-old son. Although this did not violate any of the competition rules (which stipulated only that entrants must be unmarried), pressure was placed on her by the Miss World Organisation that she should resign to save them from potential embarrassment. This means that had she won Miss Universe here, she would have been disqualified anyway.
Amparo Munoz herself was fired or gave up her crown six months in. Morgan would’ve been Wales’ first Miss Universe but she already won Miss World and she’s a mother. The crown could’ve pass on the Finland.
Underrated contestants in this pageant - Australia, Colombia, Aruba, Panama, Finland (Finland actually should have won in my opinion). Overrated contestants - Wales, England, India, Puerto Rico
I just noticed that when the Philippines hosted the Ms. Universe, Colombia always landed in the final 5 or 3 : 1974 - 3rd runner-up, 1994 - 1st runner-up & 2016 - 2nd runner-up.
Don't count out the complete history of your country. This was only one of the golden days of the Philippines. Another golden era for that country was during the Spanish colonial times. It was linked with the west and was rich in trade and interest.
Spanish was still an official language, the population of that country was 45 million, the country was still number two in Asia in economy and progress.
@Jojo Posadas That narrative changed years after when the world found out about his corruption and the economy started to crumble in mid 70s because of increased internal/external debts. His edification projects never lived up to expectations that money will start the bank roll. Our educational system is owed big time from the West which paved way to adopting the American system. The Philippine economic upswing started post war peaking in the 50s until mid-60s.
naaalala ko pinalabas kmi ng teacher nmin nung elementary grade 1 pko dahil nagparada mga miss univ candidates at nasilayan ko c miss finland na fave candidates ko
[miss spain passed away. RIP.] but i was wondering what ever happened to that "statue of maria clara" that was given to her at the end of the show? the man who gave it to her said it was "made of thousands of philippine shells." it looks like a magnifecent work of art, and something of a collectible. btw, thanks for sharing this video! i was in elementary school in the philippines living in the barrio, my family have no television, not even a radio, when this event happened in 1974. but i remember, people used to talk about miss spain and miss aruba, all the top 5. curiously, i didn't remember much about people talked of miss colombia, i just now found out she's part of top 5. without youtube i would have never seen this show at all anymore, but i'm glad that it's here, and for a moment i relived the memory, like i said when people used to talk about these beauties back in 1974. anyhow, the dancing with the fan and that instrumental bamboo segments part of the show was impressive even for that time in 1974. i think all the performers, from the young kids to the adult man and woman gave such a simple yet an elegant all-together performance that complemented the whole show and this just happened to be in the country of my birth, and i'm sure every filipinos are proud and very much appreciated, the then and now, when miss universe 1974 in the philippines was happening there. fast forward to 2014, i heard there's no miss universe this year that the miss universe corporation is holding it out for next year 2015, but i'm hoping of course that miss philippines bet m.j. lastimosa would bring in another CROWN whenever it is happening! PEACE!!!
Miss Finland was classy. I love the headress of Miss Puetto Rico. Miss Colombia has soft features compared to others who represented their country who looked fierce.
1:10:45 Philippines in 1974 under President Marcos. Aerial view of MANILA in 1974 (as narrated by Miss Universe 1973 Margie Moran). Manood kayo mga Pinoy at Pinay na hindi naabutan ang panahon ni President Marcos 😊.
@@yvesordonio Are you joking? Diosdado Macapagal, there were only 500 CLASSROOMS (not schools okay?) all over the Philippines. Imagine the destruction after WORLD WAR 2. And for your info, even the Manila Mint was destroyed. It was Marcos who built the new central bank complete with money minting facility in the 1970s and also the gold refinery facility, and Marcos who CREATED THE FIRST FILIPINO MONEY called the PILIPINO SERIES in Tagalog Language. Ang pera sa panahon ni Macapagal ay American silver dollar coins and American money. Marcos then created the BAGONG LIPUNAN SERIES Philippines money during martial law period. Check it out.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilipino_Series Pilipino series The Pilipino series banknotes is the name used to refer to Philippine banknotes issued by the Central Bank of the Philippines from 1969 to 1973, during the term of President Ferdinand Marcos. It was succeeded by the Ang Bagong Lipunan Series of banknotes, to which it shared a similar design. The lowest denomination of the series is 1-piso and the highest is 100-piso. This series represented a radical change from the English series. The bills underwent Filipinization and a design change.After the declaration of Proclamation № 1081 on September 23, 1972, the Central Bank demonetized the existing banknotes (both the English and Pilipino series) on March 1, 1974, pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 378.[13] All the unissued banknotes were sent back to the De La Rue plant in London for overprinting the watermark area with the words "ANG BAGONG LIPUNAN" and an oval geometric safety design. Ang Bagong Lipunan series The Ang Bagong Lipunan Series (literally, ”The New Society Series") is the name used to refer to Philippine banknotes issued by the Central Bank of the Philippines from 1973 to 1985. It was succeeded by the New Design series of banknotes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Philippine_money

Watching it during lockdown time during 2020, though I m born in 80s but I must say ,the stage is so beautiful and colouful, far better than the digital MU stages of today, even the best thing I like about the audiences that they were wearing their beautiful traditional dresses, I think as a country Phillipines had really showcase their culture beautifully even in 1994 , and I love the way the stage was covered with the curtain by the time all the contestantant were there, so nostalgic, and as an Indian..I loved our Miss India..
Amparo Munoz was a clear winner! The most beautiful candidate that year! One of the most beautiful Miss Universe ever! And her reaction when she was announced as the winner!
Linda pero no tenía un rostro de impacto la verdad, habían mujeres más bellas.
Miss Finland actually was considered the most beautiful and the favourite to win that year.
Miss Wales se parecía mucho a Marisol Malaret, quien fue la primera Puertorriqueña Miss Universe. Miss Aruba era bella.

Yes! We all fell in love with Miss Aruba and her golden brown skin!
I agree and I am one those who went gaga with Ms. Aruba... until now, I would always seek out Ms. Aruba everytime there is a Ms. U competition!
yes i loved aruba then
Amparo looked so vulnerable and angelic among the others. Her internal beauty took her to the crown.
Miss Aruba, Colombia, Japan and Korea is speaking tagalog
She had a strong temper but I think she was vulnerable until she died. I always felt bad for her because I could see that in every interview I watched.

Colombia is a runner-up often. The top 3 countries to be in the top 5 most often (since 1952) are USA, Venezuela and Colombia.
Oh'..
And it's a shame that due to questionable results, Colombia should have at least four Miss Universe winners by now. Perhaps seven, but at least four.
Back in the day when people actually looked their race.
and when they wore real national costumes worn in their respective countries.
Yes, natural everything, no fakes, not just looks and grooming but also behaviour. And the national costumes were true cultural wear. That's what is needed today, not just going for big and loud or playing costume party, but delegates wearing real cultural ATTIRE/DRESS of true sizes and material.

Miss Gloria Diaz was so beautiful in person, i've met and have a chat with her personally way back 1975 when i was employed in a salon in Makati, she's very fun to talk with she's not snob.
Miss Aruba is one of the most beautiful women i have ever seen! she is really magnificent.
JOE PAUL nnj
Miss Aruba is a wonderful lady.
Every once in a while they send a stunning candidate. I’m referring to Miss Aruba 1996 who was first runner up to Venezuela’s Alicia Machado.
rip. amparo munoz the most beautiful miss universe ever.. ever.
Splendid facial features indeed.
Raymundo Espedido, didn't know she passed away...what happened?
Raymundo Espedido y murió joven , de cancer
she had a cerebral disease if I´m no wrong
@@catolicaapostolica8045 She died at the age of 56 (2011) of undeclared causes.
Amparo was gorgeous, what a naturally beautiful face and figure!
Pangkat Kawayan, the best of Philippine’s Musical Instrument and in the World for my opinion, we have to be proud and promote in the world this instrument Kawayan or Bamboo that only in the Philippines we have!⭐️⭐️🇵🇭🇵🇭
Miss Spain was devastatingly beautiful. She was the most attractive of all Miss Universe winners.
She suffered from tortured a soul. Her life wasn’t exactly a fairy tale.
I'm from Spain and I followed all her career. She always said that she was very insecure. I think that her vulnerability was one of her charms.
Es bonita pero han habido otras mis universos mas bonitas que ella
@@migdi5276dime una que sea natural sin cirugías porque imagínate si amparo se hubiese retocado algo si nivel de belleza te deja sin palabras y esa fotogenia desde los 80 se han ido operando no debería llamarse miss universo sino miss quirófano
Miss philippines was very relaxed and smart and self confident.... Very beautiful as well...,
I love her english diction..
No personality
can't believe how grand and impressive the show was... Philippines really showed the world we can do this like any 'developed' countries... and oh yes, we made sure the world got to see our beautiful country and culture.... kudos to the organizers.
The Philippines here was at its closest to becoming a developed country. The other time was during its Spanish colonial period. At the time of this Miss Universe, it was ranked number two in Asia Pacific, but a good part of it was its population was only 40 million and sustainable. Gov't and citizens' self-control and discipline is another part of it.
Miss Surinam....my fav especially when she introduce herself....freaking funny. Put a smile on my face.
a year before i was born but miss philippines here is extremely graceful. this produced one of the the most beautiful if not the most beautiful miss universe miss Amparo Muñoz from Spain RIP
I think, this video should preserved by the Cultural Institution of Spain; frankly; I have seen many Ms Universe contests and Ms Amparo Munoz was and will be the most beautiful woman ever awarded with this title. She did not only represented herself but also her country and all its women even though her humble condition. The Spaniard women should be proud of her!!!!
Remigio Balmaceda She almost resigned in her reign. Her reign is filled with controversy. But still they should be proud of her.
It is so ironic that those miss universe winners who are truly beautiful did’nt finished their riegn (like miss spain in 1974 and miss russia in 2002). And those ugly bakekang winners like the winner in 1977 and 1998 completed theirs.
Definitely. Speaking of Spain at Miss Universe, they have been robbed two times now. They should have three Miss Universe titles now: 1974, 1985, 2013. 1985 and 2013 with their gorgeous and complete 1st runner-ups. Some even feel 1999, although Miss Spain 99 was not 1st runner-up.

@@alexsdb9712 totally agree 👍
I don't know if it's just me but it seemed that the Latina candidates were highly favored in this year. Prolly because PH shares common culture and tradition with them
These pre-cosmetic-surgery girls are REALLY gorgeous!
You can see very beautiful faces with diferentes kind of features,no like the same mannequin or trasvertí faces like now.
I fully agree!
The Philippines was really beautiful and very progressive in those times. It was very orderly, clean and looked like a paradise. How I wish we could be the great country that we were then!
Remember that your country at that time had a sustainable population of 40 million.
yes she was relax because she already knew she would not advance to the next round.
"very progressive in those times”? - The Philippines was starting to fall behind its Asian neighbors, While it was falling behind even before Marcos became president, it just got further away from its neighbors during his regime. From 1965 to 1968, South Korea was behind the Philippines in GDP per capita, but starting 1969 South Korea took off and that’s progressive, Look it up in the World Bank data

@@archangellagi5768 and your point was?
@@archangellagi5768the Philippines was recovering from the insurgency brought about by the communist led by ninoy and joma and the separatist group from the south . The Philippines greatly improve from 1974 to the 80' when martial law was lifted.

i hope spain will win their 2nd miss universe crown
Panama was seriously the prettiest wow.. and I love Finland too
MISS SPAIN AMPARO MUNOZ WON THIS 1973 MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT. SHE'S ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WINNERS OF MISS UNIVERSE EVER AND THE FIRST FROM SPAIN. RIP AMPARO.
so sad ....rip for miss universe from spain
Miss Finland had the most beautiful eyes, as can be seen in the national costume number. Small wonder she was chosen as Miss Photogenic.
La mas hermosa del. Concurso no entiendo porque no gano
The most gorgeous selection of TOP 5 ever!! and the most beautiful wiiner!!!
surprising fact for Miss Wales Helen Morgan to say that she doesn't speak Welsh, and Welsh is no longer commonly spoken
Miss Colombia and miss Spain looks alike same as sisters , both are so beautiful, and miss Finland and miss maxico beautiful too but maxico couldn't selected in the list
Miss Philippines is such a classic. Natural beauty and intelligent.
So many countries that didnt participate today. Yugoslavia's candidate kinda looks like Kristen Stewart. Also, back in the days where every contestants got applauded. Spain and Sweden stands out for me. Wow top 12 was just so perfect choice. Everyone so beautiful and do have a class and elegance.
Well of course Yugoslavia doesn’t exist any more. But many of its new countries have participated:
Croatia
Serbia
Montenegro
Kosovo
Slovenia
Mi coterranea Amparo Muñoz simplemente bella! Que recuerdos gratos. Me encantaba Miss Puerto Rico por su belleza y por ser tan sofisticada. Colombia preciosa y aumamente simpatica. Un grupo de mujeres bellas!
Las misses de antes eran mas hermosas, mas naturales.
Ooohhh how much I LOVE philipino people! God bless them all.
Amparo is so beautiful that it leaves you breathless. Her beauty is unrepeatable because it is natural without surgeries. Now they are all operated on. They operate and prepare them for years, losing their naturalness. Amparo's beauty can hardly be repeated again.
I love the makeup and color palletes! They all look great
Descanse en paz , Amparo Muñoz
Una de las Miss Universo más guapas de la historia del concurso Miss Universo Dios la bendiga Amparo Munoz. Amor de las Filipinas

I came here at random. I see Miss Puerto Rico as the legitimate Queen. in 20/20 retro, Miss PR was best.
Miss Colombia, so pretty, but also very funny and engaging. She was the best one here. Great personality.
I can't help but to smile whenever they try to speak in Filipino. Nakakakilig! 😁
She meant shes cringing

And the shoes of the candidates were all MARIKINA made!
There is no other venue for MU than the Philippines,because the country and its people are so warm and very hospitable...Proud to be one Pilipina!!! Mabuhay
wow, Amparo Munoz was really stunning. in the parade of nations, Spain and Aruba got my attention the most. Helen Morgan meanwhile looked tired, I had to quickly brush up my memory that i'm looking at the 1st runner-up who would later win Miss World
But Helen Morgan was dethroned as Miss World. If my memory serves me right, it was discovered that she has a child.
Her “basic sentiments” answer was so real, sincere and confident. And she is very beautiful.
This was such a great production!!❤️
Bob Barker was a very good host!
Muchas mujeres bellas en ese concurso empezando por Amparo Muñoz, la ganadora. Ella murió joven, una pena. Miss Puerto Rico, Soni Stages'Chardon y Colombia muy lindas.
¡Saludos desde Manila! Sí, estoy completamente de acuerdo en que Amparo Muñoz fue la clara ganadora ese año. Tenía el factor X, si eso podía aplicarse a los concursos de belleza.
I commend the efforts of the FIRST LADY IMELDA ROMUALDEZ MARCOS for making the MISS UNIVERSE 1974 very , very successful , she was able to show to the world the richness of the Republic of the Philippines culture
Pangkat Kawayan , the Bayanihan Dance Troupe, the statue of Maria Clara all of which were showcased , all of these are Philippine icons
Even the magical Tree of Piedras Platas in the story of Ibong Adarna and the Philippine Lanterns were depicted too
t9noraaunor She was able to show the world the slums and the garbage of the Philippines
+Mark BestBuddy you are headless
@@ltljulian : There were no slums in 1970s.. garbage was non-existent as there were many street cleaners that were hired by Imelda..

The best host of Miss Universe, Bob Parker, Philippine representative Guadalupe is young, beautiful, intelligent, Forty five years ago one of the most decent, prestigious, beautiful, beauty contest in the world, judges of high caliber, integrity, decency, if we only turned back the hands of time, this is the best for our culture, history, and the best dance number, music of Pilipino culture is amazingly beautiful!❤️❤️⭐️⭐️🇵🇭🇵🇭

Aruba was gorgeous. Her gown could be wore still today. Spain was also gorgeous
That time women are pretty and no surgery to alter their real beauty
Desiree Cordero Miss Universe Spain 2014 reminds me of Amparo Munoz! Unfortunately, she wasn't included in Top 5 and Colombia, Paulina Vega won that year.

Nice production sana lagi ganyan kabongga!
La belleza y simpatia de Finlandia impresionante!....
Sin duda la mas bella
Helen Morgan, Miss Wales and 1st runner up, was also the winner a few months later of the Miss World pageant. Unfortunately Helen did not finish her reign as Miss World. She was forced to resign only four days after winning the pageant, upon the media discovering that she was an unwed mother with an 18-month-old son. Although this did not violate any of the competition rules (which stipulated only that entrants must be unmarried), pressure was placed on her by the Miss World Organisation that she should resign to save them from potential embarrassment. This means that had she won Miss Universe here, she would have been disqualified anyway.
Amparo Munoz herself was fired or gave up her crown six months in. Morgan would’ve been Wales’ first Miss Universe but she already won Miss World and she’s a mother. The crown could’ve pass on the Finland.
i like how Guada Sanchez spoke, relaxed and cool, in a natural and conversational way. present Bb.Pinas candidates can learn a lot from her
Wag na lang, dahil matututo lang sila ng katarayan.
Underrated contestants in this pageant - Australia, Colombia, Aruba, Panama, Finland (Finland actually should have won in my opinion). Overrated contestants - Wales, England, India, Puerto Rico
Filandia Bella
I just noticed that when the Philippines hosted the Ms. Universe, Colombia always landed in the final 5 or 3 : 1974 - 3rd runner-up, 1994 - 1st runner-up & 2016 - 2nd runner-up.
Same
The top 3 countries to be in the top 5 most often (since 1952) are USA, Venezuela and Colombia.
this is the golden days of the philippines
Etchetra Etchetera yes
super LUIGI These were, not this is!
Don't count out the complete history of your country. This was only one of the golden days of the Philippines. Another golden era for that country was during the Spanish colonial times. It was linked with the west and was rich in trade and interest.
@Kuro Neko How's corruption during Duterte? Like Marcos days, eh?
The gowns are fabulous!:)
Such was 1974. So pretty ---!
The first miss universe being held in whole Asia...only in the Philippines ❤️💕👍
In 1974 PHILIPPINES is the 3rd largest English speaking in the world 😍❣️🇵🇭
Spanish was still an official language, the population of that country was 45 million, the country was still number two in Asia in economy and progress.
@Jojo Posadas That narrative changed years after when the world found out about his corruption and the economy started to crumble in mid 70s because of increased internal/external debts. His edification projects never lived up to expectations that money will start the bank roll.
Our educational system is owed big time from the West which paved way to adopting the American system.
The Philippine economic upswing started post war peaking in the 50s until mid-60s.
Jojo Posadas it isn’t Asia’s super economy now.
Peaceful , clean , and progressing 2nd largest econmoy in asia

Super Beautiful Miss Spain, They were all very beautiful this year but Miss Spain had something slightly different, she was meant to win, lol.
She had "It"
Todas bellísimas y sin cirugías!!!!!!
[miss spain passed away. RIP.]
but i was wondering what ever happened to that "statue of maria clara" that was given to her at the end of the show? the man who gave it to her said it was "made of thousands of philippine shells." it looks like a magnifecent work of art, and something of a collectible. btw, thanks for sharing this video! i was in elementary school in the philippines living in the barrio, my family have no television, not even a radio, when this event happened in 1974. but i remember, people used to talk about miss spain and miss aruba, all the top 5. curiously, i didn't remember much about people talked of miss colombia, i just now found out she's part of top 5. without youtube i would have never seen this show at all anymore, but i'm glad that it's here, and for a moment i relived the memory, like i said when people used to talk about these beauties back in 1974. anyhow, the dancing with the fan and that instrumental bamboo segments part of the show was impressive even for that time in 1974. i think all the performers, from the young kids to the adult man and woman gave such a simple yet an elegant all-together performance that complemented the whole show and this just happened to be in the country of my birth, and i'm sure every filipinos are proud and very much appreciated, the then and now, when miss universe 1974 in the philippines was happening there. fast forward to 2014, i heard there's no miss universe this year that the miss universe corporation is holding it out for next year 2015, but i'm hoping of course that miss philippines bet m.j. lastimosa would bring in another CROWN whenever it is happening! PEACE!!!
Miss Finland was classy.
I love the headress of Miss Puetto Rico.
Miss Colombia has soft features compared to others who represented their country who looked fierce.
The same soft and beautiful features is Luz Marina Zuluaga the first Colombia miss universe and o e of the most beautiful.

How about mentioning the presidents who spearheaded the economic upswing of the Philippines? Like Diosdado Macapagal?
@@yvesordonio Are you joking? Diosdado Macapagal, there were only 500 CLASSROOMS (not schools okay?) all over the Philippines. Imagine the destruction after WORLD WAR 2. And for your info, even the Manila Mint was destroyed. It was Marcos who built the new central bank complete with money minting facility in the 1970s and also the gold refinery facility, and Marcos who CREATED THE FIRST FILIPINO MONEY called the PILIPINO SERIES in Tagalog Language. Ang pera sa panahon ni Macapagal ay American silver dollar coins and American money. Marcos then created the BAGONG LIPUNAN SERIES Philippines money during martial law period. Check it out.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilipino_Series
Pilipino series
The Pilipino series banknotes is the name used to refer to Philippine banknotes issued by the Central Bank of the Philippines from 1969 to 1973, during the term of President Ferdinand Marcos. It was succeeded by the Ang Bagong Lipunan Series of banknotes, to which it shared a similar design. The lowest denomination of the series is 1-piso and the highest is 100-piso. This series represented a radical change from the English series. The bills underwent Filipinization and a design change.After the declaration of Proclamation № 1081 on September 23, 1972, the Central Bank demonetized the existing banknotes (both the English and Pilipino series) on March 1, 1974, pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 378.[13] All the unissued banknotes were sent back to the De La Rue plant in London for overprinting the watermark area with the words "ANG BAGONG LIPUNAN" and an oval geometric safety design.
Ang Bagong Lipunan series
The Ang Bagong Lipunan Series (literally, ”The New Society Series") is the name used to refer to Philippine banknotes issued by the Central Bank of the Philippines from 1973 to 1985. It was succeeded by the New Design series of banknotes.
