“If you think I’m bossy, she’s a dictator,” quipped Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz referring to her daughter Isabelle Daza, who is always on the “lookout” for what her mom will post on social media.
Isabelle Daza appreciates how her mom, Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz, taught her to value relationships, education, family and ‘understanding that is not how much money you make but how much you’re able to save.’
Isabelle’s younger sister Ava knows their mom’s password on her social media account which explains why they can easily check her posts. “We both have control. The roles have reversed,” Isabelle amusingly said. Gloria revealed she learned the importance of saving money and setting goals from her mother. Glory, as I fondly call her, is one of the 12 children of lawyer Jaime Diaz and socialite Teresa Aspillera.
Isabelle recalled the time when they were window shopping and her mom would ask the store to reserve items for her. “One time, I was there with my friends, sabi nila, ‘Ma’am ang dami pang-na-reserve ni mommy mo.’ I was like, oh my god!” “I was so tired and I said, ‘I never wanna do this. It’s so tiring. And then she said, ‘Don’t make quitting showbiz a problem. If you quit today, no one will remember you. I’ve seen the biggest stars come and go and you’re replaceable.’Gloria also had to learn a lesson on humility at an early age. It was still fresh in her memory what took place after she passed on the Miss Universe crown to her successor in 1970. She was pushed off the stage and took the limousine that drove her to the venue.
“I agree when my mom said before that if it’s Miss Universe and they’re just I guess including everybody then it should just be Universe,” Isabelle said before pointing out what American transgender sports personality Caitlyn Jenner had said before. “She said that people mistake fighting for equality and fighting for fairness to be the same thing.”
