Miriam Quiambao-Roberto

An epitome of Filipina beauty, Miriam Quiambao-Roberto has stunned millions around the world after winning the first runner-up title at the Miss Universe Pageant in 1999 held in Trinidad and Tobago.

Her statuesque stance makes it easy for her to stand out in the crowd, that is why she blossomed in her TV career which started when she was an anchor host for GMA 7’s morning show, Unang Hirit and also co-hosted reality shows like Extra Challenge and Extra-Extra. On top of her hosting gigs, she also dabbled in acting.

Captivating audiences with her grace and her ability to speak from the heart, she continues to inspire people as a speaker and a book author when she published her book entitled, “He Can Catch You When You Fall, The Continuing Life Story of Miriam Quiambao.” It has become a National Bookstore Bestseller and continues to be CSM Publishing’s No. 1 Bestseller since 2015.

Her modest demeanor and effortless grace captivates people from all walks of life but it is her inspiring stories that make an imprint in all their hearts.

As a philanthropist, she has been an active celebrity endorser for World Vision Development Foundation since 2001 and has served as a celebrity advocate against child labor from 2006-2008. She is also one of the hosts of Christian news magazine TV program, The 700 Club Asia.

More than a beauty queen, celebrity, speaker, advocate, host, and entrepreneur, she is a loving wife to Ardy Roberto and caring mother to their son, Joshua.
