Philippines Universe '04,
poses  with fellow candi-dates  (left).  Maricar de-parts   from   her  orange outfits  and  tries  yellow.
The  use  of  such bright, striking   colors  may  be working   to  her  advan-
tage.   In  a  pageant  like Miss Universe, the strate- gy is to be noticed, & not
look  like  everyone  else!
