1987 was an edition where the Bb. Pilipinas Universe frontrunner held on to the lead all the way to finals at the Big Dome. I can vividly remember cheering for Geraldine Edith “Pebbles” Asis right from the get-go. With her height and regal bearing, there was just no way I would trade her for any of the other candidates that year to be our Miss Universe 1987 representative. The modelesque stance and Oriental looks added more reasons why she deserved to win. And she did make us proud when she finished 6th overall in Singapore. As for the other titleholders that year, I am most pleased with Miss Maja Pilipinas Lourdes “Lilu” Jimenez who has such a beautiful face that did not go unnoticed in Merida, Mexico for Maja Internacional 1987. She finished in the Top 10. Ma. Lourdes “Luli” Enriquez was Bb. Pilipinas International with Avon Garcia getting the Tourism plum.
