The forty candidates competing in this
year’s Mutya Pilipinas will have the chance to become the first World Top Model
Philippines winner. Aside from the four major titles handed out yearly in Mutya
Pilipinas, namely, Mutya Asia-Pacific International, Mutya Tourism
International, Mutya Tourism Queen of the Year International and Mutya Overseas
Communities, a fifth crown and title of World Top Model Philippines 2019 will
be given in the finals.
“This year, we decided to drop the
‘ng’ in Mutya ng Pilipinas for marketing purposes, to make our pageant more
current, more now and more relevant. Not that it was irrelevant the previous
years, but because we are embracing a whole new dimension in the definition of
Mutya Pilipinas as a beauty pageant,” said Cory Quirino, president of the Mutya
ng Pilipinas organization.
“We are opening an opportunity for
aspiring Filipinas who want to be successful international models. For this
reason, Mutya Pilipinas will be forging an alliance with the Professional
Modeling Association of the Philippines,” added Quirino, who took over the
presidency of Mutya in March after quitting as national director of Miss World
Philippines.
“These are exciting times for Mutya
Pilipinas, so you can expect more positive changes in the future as it
evolves,” said Fred Yuson, chairman of Mutya Pilipinas.

International 2018 Sharifa Areef Mohammed Omar Akeel was crowned Miss Asia
