Maniya Barredo received one of the highest titles possible in dance
in 1978
after a performance of Giselle with a company in the Philippines. Included in the audience were
President
and First Lady Marcos, and one of this century’s most-loved ballerinas, Dame Margot Fonteyn.
At a reception following the performance, Dame Margot presented Maniya with a bouquet of
flowers, and in front of all assembled proclaimed Maniya Barredo had earned the title Prima
Ballerina.
