When Misses USA and Philippines were holding hands waiting for the Miss Universe 2012 winner’s announcement, they did not know that that was the decisive moment also for the Country of the Year 2012 award. In a fierce dispute, the Miss Universe victory gave the US and extra edge to crown it as the most successful nation in Grand Slam pageants in the year which recently ended. Although the Philippines was the only country to have placed in all 4 held Grand Slam contests in 2012, the US had a G2 victory, which made the difference in the end.

And the country of the year is...

Last year, Venezuela took the country of the year title having won the Miss World crown, a Top 15 finish in Miss Universe, a first runner-up finish at Miss International and winning as Miss Fire at the Miss Earth contest. This year, the Philippines took the top spot.

Philippines made early strides this year with their Miss World campaign. Competing in a very hostile environment (China's aggression in the West Philippine Sea earned the chagrin of the Philippines, Vietnam and even Japan), Queenierich Rehman showed a very strong performance landing her to the Top 15. Months later, Nicole Schmitz achieved the same fate this time at the Miss International pageant held in Okinawa, Japan.

Philippines seems to be hungry for more. At the Miss Earth 2012 pageant Stephany Stefanowitz went on to win Miss Air missing the Miss Earth title to Miss Czech Republic. It seems the Philippines is cementing its status as a beauty superpower that was long asleep and now roaring back to life. After last year it landed in the semis of all Big4 Pageants even finishing as first runner-up at Miss World pageant.

And thus, the clamor for the title and glory grew louder. The pressure was on the country's last Big4 competitor - Janine Tugunon. Alas, the crown was not for her but she was adjudged as second best placing as first runner-up. With such a stellar performance, the Philippines regained its long lost status as beauty superpower. In the 1960s and in 1970s, the country was highly respected in the world of pageantry. The country's status however lost its luster in the late 1980s and continued to slide in the 1990s.



Here is the tabulation of the scores using Missosology.Org's Big4 ranking formulated by Stephen Diaz. The Big4 Ranking is now considered as the most reliable and consistent system designed to rank the performance of nations and territories at Big4 pageants.
