The light skin colour and even western looking features would have helped also I suspect (it shouldn't but in a country where skin whitening cream is a best seller it does).

Not saying that she isn't 'friggen smart' (I'm sure she is) and clearly deserved her high placing :)

Not sure what frame of mind I was in to use an adjective from my teens!  I edited it.

Yes, the lighter skin makes a difference but there is still competition in that area.  The Western features are probably a larger advantage here in PH.  We have a lot of mixed kids here in Olongapo.

I have noticed that many of the contestants in the international pageants are mixed blood, like the last two Thai Miss Universe contestants who were half-Canadian.
