In conclusion, Margie walked away with the Miss Universe crown that night. Amanda Jones, Miss USA, was 1st Runner-up; Miss Norway, 2nd Runner-up; and, Miss Spain was 3rd Runner-up. It was another victorious moment for the Philippines! Weeks later, Margie’s face was on every cover of Women’s, MOD and Woman magazines.  She was also featured on Expressweek where she posed in her bathing suit, crown and scepter. And true to her words, she became the dignified businesswoman that she aspired to become. Her dream of having her own hotel came true when she married Tony Boy Floirendo and resided in Davao. There, she managed a hotel/lodging-beach resort called “Pearl Farm” which was located in Samal Island. It became one of the tourist attractions during the “Islands Philippines” promotion in 1994.
Today, she ventures into doing another challenge in her life by getting into showbusiness as an executive producer of critically-acclaimed movies. I am certain that her business acumen will always be there when needed. To sum it up, Margarita Moran continues to define what being a true-blooded “Miss Universe” is all about. She remains a blessing to us, pageant fans, for proving that a Filipino can be a "Haley's comet” in the international arena. She will always continue to shine like the antiquities of ancient civilization --- timeless, elegant, and regal!
Thank you, Margie, for letting us taste your victory all these years. You're truly the "PEARL OF THE ORIENT" that is loved and treasured in the "HOME OF THE GODS"!
