Miss Universe 1993 Dayanara Torres sitting on her throne
When it was time to fly to Manila to crown her successor during Miss Universe 1994, little did she know that her arrival would start a close relationship with the country. Right after relinquishing the title to Sushmita Sen, several doors of showbiz opportunity started opening one after the other. She went into appearances in a number of local movies (at least three), hosted her own dance show (Eezy Dancing) plus a similar hosting stint on ASAP. Heck, she was even involved in a relationship with actor Aga Muhlach at one time.
Below is a video which contains the movie “Basta’t Kasama Kita” (As long as I’m with you) which introduced Dayanara Torres and where she starred with former matinee idol Aga Muhlach.

And finally, here is the interview Dayanara gave where she talked about her four memorable years in the Philippines.

Dayanara considers her stay in the country as some of the best years in her life. And the Filipinos couldn’t agree more.
We all loved Dayanara, and Miss Universe 1993 loved the Philippines in return. Four years long and with just two degrees of separation at that. ;-)
