The City of Miami in the U.S. has officially declared December 30 as "Maribel Guardia Day"  to honor the Tica  (a term used for a native of Costa Rica) actress and singer for her artistic achievements and contributions to Latin culture.



During a ceremony at Miami City Hall, Guardia (65) received a commemorative plaque from Commissioner for District 3 and former Mayor Joe Carollo.



According to Miami City, Guardia's impact on art, music, and television, as well as her cultural influence on the Hispanic community in Miami and across Latin America should be celebrated.






"I’m speechless," Guardia said during the event. "Thanks to the City of Miami, Commissioner Joe Carollo, and the public for all the love and affection you’ve shown me over the years. Love you all."


Born on May 29, 1959, in San José, Costa Rica, Guardia gained fame after winning Miss Costa Rica 1978 and representing the country in the Miss Universe competition that year.


She later moved to Mexico, where she built a successful career in telenovelas (soap operas), appearing in more than 20 productions. Guardia also released several Mexican music albums, showcasing her versatility as an artist.
