Filipinos came from the Malayan race, basically from Indonesia or Malaysia. In fact Philippines are in olden times a Muslim country with the only exception of having in the northern mountainous region to be pagans. But after the Chinese went on here to stay the Filipino race got mingled with Chinese blood because of the barter system of ancient Chinese are doing before the Spaniards came because some of them just stayed here to do business and are one of the top wealthiest in the country.
Then came the Spaniards when Philippines got discovered in 1521 and established their churches and military quarters. Of course it lasts for so many years and these same Spaniards took in the locals as wives if not sired some illegally with helpless women and then making the Filipino race even more mixed with diversity.
After the reign of the Spanish conquerors they relinquished the Philippines to the Americans for a sum of two million dollars so the Philippines became the commonwealth of USA. So the same thing happened, some Americans took some of the locals as wives and created "Mestizas/Mestizos" which are quite more beautiful then the average Filipinos but of course can speak the local language.
Japanese blood is also accounted for as well as other races for mingling with the Filipino blood and that created a beautiful race which is a step up from the common Malayan race in terms of appearance.
Of course not all Filipinos are beautiful but there are just a percentage that really stands out from the crowd because of the mixed race factor, the same is picked for the competition for beauty pageants because of their unique beauty and so they get a good chance to win it.
I am not sure about the beauty pageants on that side of the world. But I think I see the same thing in Canada. Mixed cultures seem to win. It creates an interesting look when you have a mix for sure. I think you are right @cryptopie. Maybe the contests seem to prefer mixed girls. I am not too sure though.

Pure Filipino blood won't win pageants I bet but if mixed with other races they become more competitive in such pageants @kawaiicrush

Beauty is in the eye of the ‘beholder,’ which in this case is most likely a westernized beauty pageant company, therefore, yes, the winner might be of mixed descent( european of course).
I bet an easternized (funny how this isn’t a word but westernized is) beauty pageant company would have a different taste in beauty and winners.

Yes it seems that Asians view Caucasians in a different way it terms of appearance. It is true in watching movies because we like to watch Hollywood films than local films.

Very interesting observation. I think a lot of it is due to fashion though.
