Gloria Diaz and Margie Moran, the Philippines’ first and second Miss Universe titlists respectively, gave this year’s pageant candidates some advice and shared their experiences when they were crowned as Miss Universe!

Gloria Diaz took home the title in 1969, while Margie Moran won in 1973.

Diaz, who won the pageant when she was 18, said the candidates should always be humble and friendly to each other.

“Winning or losing is not the end or the beginning of everything, it’s the day after and you just have to enjoy everything.”

Moran, on the other hand, advised the candidates to be prepared for the Q&A portion, saying:  “You just have to be educated, good at current events to be able to answer.”

Thanks for the wise words, mommas!

The Miss Universe 2016 pageant will take place at the Mall of Asia Arena on January 30.
