Here in the Philippines, they have a word. A great way to start up each day, When you want to say “Welcome, we wish you the best”: Just smile up a smile as you say, Oh, oh, Mabuhay!

Ganda talaga ng opening song kasi, perky and may pagkaupbeat. Ganda din ng lyrics. Sana lang ishowcase nila ang ibat ibang Philippine instruments and may participation ng Madrigal singers 😍
Hi, I'm Gloria Diaz Miss Universe 1969, I am Margarita Moran Miss Universe 1973, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach Miss Universe 2015, Catriona Magnayon Gray Miss Universe 2018
i think the miss U in 1994 was one of the best stage designs in all miss U pageant. the background color changes, the arch was lovely and the clouds were so amazing--they change color too.
can never get tired of this i was in the 7th grade when this aired in the states. if was a big deal for us flips, pinoys and noypis. we all loved charlene and was a clear favorite
i became more proud being filipino after watching this video. di ko naiintindihan yung message ng song before (im just grade 4), but now ndigest ko sya ng husto
Oh! For what I know, it's Mr. Ryan Cayabyab who compose the song... That is what I remember in the news show TV Patrol in Star News Segment anchored by Miss Tintin Berzola.
Hope that Philippines will be the host of this year's Miss Universe Pageant...I really love to listen the opening hymn Of Miss Universe 1994...Mabuhay!!!!pahingi nang Minus one nito...
Throwback! I am not surprised they made these candidates sing. Haha Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz Miss Universe 1973 Margie Moran. Now with Pia Alonzo Miss Universe 2015. Mabuhay! Hello there!
Twenty six confidently beautiful years ago, Charlene Bonnin Gonzales 🇵🇭 represented our country at Miss Universe 👑💐👠 #Dayanara 🇵🇷 #Sushmita 🇮🇳 #Carolina 🇨🇴 #Minorka 🇻🇪 Thursday, May 21, 2020 🇵🇭

Miss Universe 1994 is my first time to watch Miss universe on TV , I was on my 4th grade that time. And indeed this production number for me is one of the best in Miss Universe history! Kudos to the composer and to the one who initiate this idea and concept! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
i love the opening...! we really searched for the lyrics of mabuhay and the song, coz we will use it in our intermission number in schoool!!.. i missed this ms universe.. i was 10 that time.. i was hurried to buy pandesal just to see the beginning of the pageant...!! its soo early pageant, 8 am hahhaa
MABUHAY! it was indeed a great salutation for the world!!! Very Classy Filipinos. They've made a very Good stage... colorful opening program.. if only the Philippines had a bigger budget, surely the pageant would be more beautiful as the Miss Universe 1974 in the philippines was
Wow id realized that so many past Miss Universe title holders was present here our Philippines own Miss U 1969 Gloria Diaz And Miss U 1973 Margie Moran, the host from Holland Miss U winner.in 1989,from Namibia Miche MacCleane Miss Universe 1992 since Namibia will be hosting in 1995 edition, i think Mona Grudt one judge from Norway is also past Miss U winner, the reigning Miss U Dayanara Torres from Puerto Rico and of course the eventual winner Sushmita Sen from India Miss U 1994 at least seven truly a gathering of queens amazing
2nd yr High School pa lang ako ng mga panahon na to.. Kasibulan ko.. kaya medyo nakarami ako dito kay Ms Belgium, Ms Colombia, Ms. Australia, Ms Great Britain and syempre, kay Charlene hehe
thanks for the info! i do really appreciate it... at least ngaun alam ko na at hindi me nag iisip on which is which, well i hope some1 could get the version of "Hello Philippines Mabuhay"... again cntower76, thank you! and Mabuhay!
yeah, i think it was hataw na hataw na, do you think that there are two versions of this opening? kasi nung naalala ko nung iwas still a child hataw na hataw na ung last line dun? TWO OPENING VERSIONS? WOW!
okey naman sya over all kaya lang naliitan lang ako sa stage tsaka un venue which is PICC kumpara sa ibang countries na nag host na ng miss universe talagang laki ng venue
hmmm... this is quite weird, pero back then ang alam ko talaga the song was "Hello Philippines Mabuhay"... kaya I am a bit confused now, but i do like this song too... Hehehe...
"Mabuhay!" (Miss Universe 1994) Here in The Philippines they have a word, A great way to start of each day.... When you want to say "Welcome", "We wish you the best"... Just smile up a smile as you say, oh, oh, Mabuhay! "You're smilin" Mabuhay "You're stylin" It's a great salutation Mabuhay! Mabuhay!

Don't doubt it just shout it, Mabuhay!
One of the things I like about MU 1994 was that all the contestants participated and contributed in making the pageant a success. They made the opening great and even sang along with Peabo. Everyone had a voice in this event.
come on... it was good... i remember watching this when i was young, it was one of the most tensed time of my life... i woke up 6 am to wait for this...
My favourite productions (not just the opening) : in random order ^ ^ 1.1988 (held in Taipei, Rep.of China / M.U.was Thailand's Porntip Nakhirunkanok) 2.1993 (held in Mexico City, Mexico / M.U.was Pueto Rico's Dayanara Tores) 3.1994 (held in Manila, the Philippines / M.U.was India's Sushmita Sen) 4.2002 (held in San Juan, Pueto Rico / M.U.was Russia's Oxana Fedorova) 5.2005 (held in Bangkok, Thailand / M.U.was Canada's Natalie Glebova) * I also like in 1992 (also held in Bkk too) *
Before nakasulat sa Wikipedia na Philippines will be the host of 2009 Miss Universe. Tapos di ko na nakita ulit sa Wikipedia. Binura eh. Nakita ko iyon a day after Miss Universe in Vietnam.
i remember this song it was '94. saw it first on youtube 2 years ago. charlene's hair and lu's astronaunt costume maybe best national costume ever hehe
Notice that our country Pilipinas hosted Miss Universe for the first time in 1974, then in 1994. Following the arithmetic pattern, we'll perhaps host the pageant in 2014. c",)
Yes you are right, it was a misspelling of the fingers while at the keyboard I meant 1975 instead of 1973, the pageant in El Salvador was held in 1975 where Miss Finland won and the 1st runner up was Miss Haiti.
yeah... parade of nations was definitely pre-recorded as opposed to the live opening number. as such it gave the delegates enough time to change for the top ten announcement
the miss universe 1994 held in the philippines is one of the best miss universe pageants ever. the opening number was stunning, the stage design is amazing and the contestants were all beautiful and intelligent.
“MABUHAY” Here in the Philippines, they have a word. A great way to start up each day. When you want to say “Welcome, we wish you the best”: Just smile up a smile as you say, Oh, oh, Mabuhay! You’re smilin’, Mabuhay! You’re stylin’, it’s a great salutation, Mabuhay!
This type of production numbers remind me of ASAP. Yung pinagkakasya nila lahat in a small space at kahit yung mga lobby at ibang area ng venue ay kasama sa prod, para magmukhang moving kasi nga maliit ang set. But I have to admit, Wala pa rin tatalo sa ganda ng opening na ito. Iconic song, dance moves na pang beauty queen, and even the small venue made it really really more intimate and you can see that the contestants and the audience are closer and more engaged with the set up.
If you compare this presentation to other years, this is might be better because the song and the choreography fit to the emotions needed to the contest. It's very synchronized and well practiced. Compare to others though beautiful but not well choreographed....

Thanks for the lyrics...
Who composed this song? Ang ganda. Na-capture nito yung celebratory, festive essence ng salitang “mabuhay.”
Mabuhay!
The best opening number in Miss Universe history. This song was played in radio stations here in Australia in 1994 and it was at #4
Oml very happy about that
Production number of Miss Universe Philippines 2020🥰🥰
Ganda talaga ng opening song kasi, perky and may pagkaupbeat. Ganda din ng lyrics. Sana lang ishowcase nila ang ibat ibang Philippine instruments and may participation ng Madrigal singers 😍
Hi, I'm Gloria Diaz Miss Universe 1969, I am Margarita Moran Miss Universe 1973, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach Miss Universe 2015, Catriona Magnayon Gray Miss Universe 2018
i wish Miss universe still have a parade in national costume

can never get tired of this i was in the 7th grade when this aired in the states. if was a big deal for us flips, pinoys and noypis. we all loved charlene and was a clear favorite
No one beat miss universe
i became more proud being filipino after watching this video. di ko naiintindihan yung message ng song before (im just grade 4), but now ndigest ko sya ng husto
Tonton Africa, a music professor from the UST Conservatory of Music composed this song.
Oh! For what I know, it's Mr. Ryan Cayabyab who compose the song... That is what I remember in the news show TV Patrol in Star News Segment anchored by Miss Tintin Berzola.
Parang recital pala to sa international school
Was hoping this was sang during the 2016 MU held in the Philippines.. or some upgraded version of this.
Hope that Philippines will be the host of this year's Miss Universe Pageant...I really love to listen the opening hymn Of Miss Universe 1994...Mabuhay!!!!pahingi nang Minus one nito...
