Miriam Quiambao is another beauty queen who joined local showbiz initially as TV Host/ Correspondent. Miriam was the 1999 Miss Universe first runner-up at the pageant held in Trinidad and Tobago. I remember admiring her grace and poise after her near fall during the evening gown competition. I remember watching her last on "Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo" in a villainy role and the movie "KimmyDora." Miriam stars in a TV5 series called "Bangis."
