Why Miss Universe Philippines Celeste Cortesi as Darna was a win ... (The National)

The beauty queen dressed as the country's most famous superhero in the national costume round — and here's why that matters.

In 2005, Darna was adapted for television again, this time appealing to a more contemporary audience. Other iterations of Darna came out in the 1990s. It was also a perfect opportunity to introduce Philippine pop culture to the world, she adds. Then, in 1950, Ravelo moved to a different publishing house, and relaunched the character as Darna, which marked the beginning of a meteoric rise for the Filipino superheroine. "Because Darna has become more than just a comic book character for Filipinos — Cortesi's choice to portray her showed our identity and aspirations in a superhero language, which is extremely relatable globally," says Brillon. A dictatorial regime took over the Philippines in 1972, but Darna's wings weren't clipped. "Vilma played a crucial role in further popularising Darna. Three more actresses played Darna in various adaptations from 1964 to 1969. She is channelled by her mortal alter-ego, Narda, and comes to life by swallowing a white stone and shouting the superhero's name engraved on it. For a country that has been colonised for many years, Darna is a strong aspirational figure. We wish to be like her." The character was initially published as Varga in 1947.
