Humans did land on the moon
On Monday we mark the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Conspiracy theorists continue to insist in the face of cold hard fact that it was all a hoax done with special effects. We in the Philippines have no such problem. We are absolutely certain that humans landed on the moon. . .because it happened during the 1969 Miss Universe beauty pageant which was won by a Filipina, Gloria Diaz. That Gloria Diaz was crowned Miss Universe is an incontrovertible fact. Moon landing deniers, are you saying that Miss Philippines Gloria Diaz did not win Miss Universe? You insult an entire nation. Our officials will lodge strongly-worded protests at your embassies.
Beauty pageant historians—and there are many, about 1 out of 3 gay Pinoys—like to point out that during the question-and-answer round, Gloria was asked a question about the man on the moon. She answered that she would give him a shave or something. In any case Gloria was the wittiest, cleverest contestant onstage and she became the first Pinay Miss Universe.
