“No filter since 1969.”

This is what 2 Good 2 Be True actress Gloria Diaz wrote in the bio of both her old and current Instagram accounts, and we definitely couldn’t agree more as she has remained to be one of the most beautiful faces in the country (or even the universe), even though she’s already 71 years old!

Yes, you’ve read that right. The beauty titleholder and veteran actress is now a septuagenarian – or someone who is between 70 and 79 years old – yet her youthful glow and flawless beauty make us probably assume that she is just in her 50s, right?

But what could be her secret to staying young? In her virtual interview with ABS-CBN broadcaster Jing Castañeda she jested that there’s no way for her to hide her age since everybody knew that she was the first-ever Filipina to be crowned as Miss Universe when she was 18 years old in 1969.

Thus, in order to keep herself young, Gloria imparted that she simply makes sure that her skin is always clean and that she has time to exercise. And going through her two IG accounts, we’re able to see videos of her doing some routines at the gym.

So, aside from having a healthy lifestyle, we could say that the love does its magic in keeping her youthful and gorgeous. However, this isn’t only the romantic kind, as she’s also overwhelmingly loved by her three children Raphael, Isabelle, and Ava, and their respective families, as well as by her friends, adoring fans, and other people around her!

Another reason could be her infallible sense of humor and sunny disposition in life that many of us truly admire!

As we look forward on what her loathed character Helena is up to in the well-loved series 2 Good 2 Be True, let us go through some of Gloria Diaz’s stunning throwback photos in this gallery that you may have not seen yet!
