i think the miss U in 1994 was one of the best stage designs in all miss U pageant. the background color changes, the arch was lovely and the clouds were so amazing--they change color too.
Ganda talaga ng opening song kasi, perky and may pagkaupbeat. Ganda din ng lyrics. Sana lang ishowcase nila ang ibat ibang Philippine instruments and may participation ng Madrigal singers 😍

Miss Universe 1994 is my first time to watch Miss universe on TV , I was on my 4th grade that time. And indeed this production number for me is one of the best in Miss Universe history! Kudos to the composer and to the one who initiate this idea and concept! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
2nd yr High School pa lang ako ng mga panahon na to.. Kasibulan ko.. kaya medyo nakarami ako dito kay Ms Belgium, Ms Colombia, Ms. Australia, Ms Great Britain and syempre, kay Charlene hehe

i love the opening...! we really searched for the lyrics of mabuhay and the song, coz we will use it in our intermission number in schoool!!.. i missed this ms universe.. i was 10 that time.. i was hurried to buy pandesal just to see the beginning of the pageant...!! its soo early pageant, 8 am hahhaa
Wow id realized that so many past Miss Universe title holders was present here our Philippines own Miss U 1969 Gloria Diaz And Miss U 1973 Margie Moran, the host from Holland Miss U winner.in 1989,from Namibia Miche MacCleane Miss Universe 1992 since Namibia will be hosting in 1995 edition, i think Mona Grudt one judge from Norway is also past Miss U winner, the reigning Miss U Dayanara Torres from Puerto Rico and of course the eventual winner Sushmita Sen from India Miss U 1994 at least seven truly a gathering of queens amazing
come on... it was good... i remember watching this when i was young, it was one of the most tensed time of my life... i woke up 6 am to wait for this...
One of the things I like about MU 1994 was that all the contestants participated and contributed in making the pageant a success. They made the opening great and even sang along with Peabo. Everyone had a voice in this event.
okey naman sya over all kaya lang naliitan lang ako sa stage tsaka un venue which is PICC kumpara sa ibang countries na nag host na ng miss universe talagang laki ng venue
My favourite productions (not just the opening) : in random order ^ ^ 1.1988 (held in Taipei, Rep.of China / M.U.was Thailand's Porntip Nakhirunkanok) 2.1993 (held in Mexico City, Mexico / M.U.was Pueto Rico's Dayanara Tores) 3.1994 (held in Manila, the Philippines / M.U.was India's Sushmita Sen) 4.2002 (held in San Juan, Pueto Rico / M.U.was Russia's Oxana Fedorova) 5.2005 (held in Bangkok, Thailand / M.U.was Canada's Natalie Glebova) * I also like in 1992 (also held in Bkk too) *
MABUHAY! it was indeed a great salutation for the world!!! Very Classy Filipinos. They've made a very Good stage... colorful opening program.. if only the Philippines had a bigger budget, surely the pageant would be more beautiful as the Miss Universe 1974 in the philippines was
If you compare this presentation to other years, this is might be better because the song and the choreography fit to the emotions needed to the contest. It's very synchronized and well practiced. Compare to others though beautiful but not well choreographed....
i remember this song it was '94. saw it first on youtube 2 years ago. charlene's hair and lu's astronaunt costume maybe best national costume ever hehe
Notice that our country Pilipinas hosted Miss Universe for the first time in 1974, then in 1994. Following the arithmetic pattern, we'll perhaps host the pageant in 2014. c",)
yeah, i think it was hataw na hataw na, do you think that there are two versions of this opening? kasi nung naalala ko nung iwas still a child hataw na hataw na ung last line dun? TWO OPENING VERSIONS? WOW!
Yes you are right, it was a misspelling of the fingers while at the keyboard I meant 1975 instead of 1973, the pageant in El Salvador was held in 1975 where Miss Finland won and the 1st runner up was Miss Haiti.
“MABUHAY” Here in the Philippines, they have a word. A great way to start up each day. When you want to say “Welcome, we wish you the best”: Just smile up a smile as you say, Oh, oh, Mabuhay! You’re smilin’, Mabuhay! You’re stylin’, it’s a great salutation, Mabuhay!
yeah... parade of nations was definitely pre-recorded as opposed to the live opening number. as such it gave the delegates enough time to change for the top ten announcement

Who composed this song? Ang ganda. Na-capture nito yung celebratory, festive essence ng salitang “mabuhay.”
Mabuhay!
The best opening number in Miss Universe history. This song was played in radio stations here in Australia in 1994 and it was at #4
Oml very happy about that
Production number of Miss Universe Philippines 2020🥰🥰
i think the miss U in 1994 was one of the best stage designs in all miss U pageant. the background color changes, the arch was lovely and the clouds were so amazing--they change color too.
Pinaka mgandang opening and themesong sa history ng Miss U😍❤💕💚💝

Oh have you watched Miss Universe 1993's Opening Song "Viva La Noche"?
Best opening number miss.universe 1994 full of emotions and great choreography mabuhay

Tonton Africa, a music professor from the UST Conservatory of Music composed this song.
Oh! For what I know, it's Mr. Ryan Cayabyab who compose the song... That is what I remember in the news show TV Patrol in Star News Segment anchored by Miss Tintin Berzola.
Parang recital pala to sa international school
Was hoping this was sang during the 2016 MU held in the Philippines.. or some upgraded version of this.
The best Miss Universe Pageant ever! Beautiful contestants. And the stage very nice. Mabuhay!

i hope charlene will sing mabuhay
miss universe 2014 will be held in the philippines....
Hello madlang pipol mabuhay
okey naman sya over all kaya lang naliitan lang ako sa stage tsaka un venue which is PICC kumpara sa ibang countries na nag host na ng miss universe talagang laki ng venue
I and the world agree with you
My favourite productions (not just the opening) : in random order ^ ^
1.1988 (held in Taipei, Rep.of China / M.U.was Thailand's Porntip Nakhirunkanok)
2.1993 (held in Mexico City, Mexico / M.U.was Pueto Rico's Dayanara Tores)
3.1994 (held in Manila, the Philippines / M.U.was India's Sushmita Sen)
4.2002 (held in San Juan, Pueto Rico / M.U.was Russia's Oxana Fedorova)
5.2005 (held in Bangkok, Thailand / M.U.was Canada's Natalie Glebova)
* I also like in 1992 (also held in Bkk too) *
MABUHAY! it was indeed a great salutation for the world!!! Very Classy Filipinos. They've made a very Good stage... colorful opening program.. if only the Philippines had a bigger budget, surely the pageant would be more beautiful as the Miss Universe 1974 in the philippines was
The candidates were loving and were so into the song. Great year indeed it was.
If you compare this presentation to other years, this is might be better because the song and the choreography fit to the emotions needed to the contest. It's very synchronized and well practiced. Compare to others though beautiful but not well choreographed....
i miss those days.. :(
i remember this song it was '94. saw it first on youtube 2 years ago. charlene's hair and lu's astronaunt costume maybe best national costume ever hehe
i hope that miss universe will use again this concept,and if should...maybe the present miss universe musical score will have lyrics..
Proud to Be PINOY
Notice that our country Pilipinas hosted Miss Universe for the first time in 1974, then in 1994. Following the arithmetic pattern, we'll perhaps host the pageant in 2014. c",)
1969 1973 my goodness!!!!! ang layo!!! hope our beauty this time will stand out!!!!
Agreed.

yeah, i think it was hataw na hataw na, do you think that there are two versions of this opening? kasi nung naalala ko nung iwas still a child hataw na hataw na ung last line dun? TWO OPENING VERSIONS? WOW!
miss jamaica in miss universe always stand out on every opening performance or opening number. remember in 2010?
Yes you are right, it was a misspelling of the fingers while at the keyboard I meant 1975 instead of 1973, the pageant in El Salvador was held in 1975 where Miss Finland won and the 1st runner up was Miss Haiti.
mabuhay!! :))
i hope miss universe pageant will come here again......2014 para masabing evry 20 years bumabalik dito sa pinaz
