It's good to see the our queens in 1972 - one of the best years for Binibini.

Evangeline Reyes was a semi-finalist in Miss World
Yolanda Dominguez was 2nd runner-up in Miss International and won the Best in National Costume.
Not in picture is Barbara Armi Crespo won was a semi-finalist in Miss Universe.

1972 was a good year for BPCI indeed for apart from Yogi & Armi, it's two other queens, Maria Lourdes Mauleon Vallejo and Bernice Romualdez were semi-finalist at Miss Young International and Maja International, respectively...Eva was chosen as the country's representative to Miss World via the Miss Republic of the Philippines [or simply Miss RP] pageant...what more our Mutya ng Pilipinas Yvette Marie Alfon was Miss Asia First Runner-up--

SUCH AN AMAZING YEAR FOR THE PHILIPPINES -- 1972!

You forgot to mention that also in 1972, there was a pageant that was held in Thailand. It was called the MISS CHARMING INTERNATIONAL. Our representative Milagros Dorado Gutierrez was 2nd runner-up.
