Former Miss Venezuela reminisces 1994 Miss Universe pageant in Manila

-


For the first time in 26 years, former Miss Venezuela Minorka Mercado posted photos of her homecoming after her 2nd runner-up finish at the 1994 Miss Universe beauty pageant held at the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City on May 21.


Mercado, now a mom, radio host and health coach, shared the photos on Instagram July 31.


Her caption read: "My beautiful people, I don't think you have seen these photos and today I wanted to share them with all of you;


"These pictures were taken during the reception that Venevision hosted for me on Sabado Sensacional (show viewed internationally throughout Latin America and USA) when I returned from the Miss Universe of 1994 in the Philippines;


"I am next to Mr. Gilberto Correa (beloved and respected host of the program), and I was wearing my beautiful, elegant and super comfortable Liki Liki National Costume that I wore at the MU;


"It was a very nice tribute, full of many happy memories and unforgettable moments;

                                                              Minorka Mercado today.
               
"I am grateful for these unique experiences that are part of the human being that I am today🙏"


"Sending lots of love and stay positive my love🙏💓😘"


That time, Mercado was one of the front-runners for the Miss Universe crown. At the end of the pageant, Sushmita Sen of India captured the title while Miss Colombia Carolina Gomez was 1st runner-up. - Robert Requintina
