In late 2005, the purported content of Quigaman's Miss International speech was posted and spread as a miniature Internet phenomenon. She was asked, "what do you say to the people of the world who have typecasted Filipinos as nannies?" and upheld the reputation as nannies as being consistent with the loving and caring culture of the Philippines. This has been roundly denied by Quigaman, who, though admiring the speech, noted that it could not have fit within the time constraints imposed by the contest. Her own speech, in response to the question, "What will you do if you become Miss International 2005?" concerned child education, deviating from her original intention of speaking on terrorism and poverty.
Here are some of the activities of Miss International 2005. Not everything was included in this page as it was too many to put together. But here's a glimpse of her very busy reign.
