Ayumi Yzzabel Chavez bested 47 other young contenders from around the country and was crowned Munting Mutya ng Pilipinas 2019 at the conclusion of the 3-hour, exciting coronation finals held Sunday night at the AFP Museum and Multipurpose Theater in Quezon City.

The 11-year-old, bedimpled, six grader of Padre Zamora Elementary School in Pasay City shone among the little contending girls, ages from 5 to 12, and won the right to represent the Philippines at Best Kid Model Universe 2020 to be held in Milan, Italy.

Samantha Niebres of Olongapo City was named first runner up while Cassey Thomas of Cabuyao City, Laguna and Rhoelle Mamorno of Batangas Province finished as 3rd and 4th, respectively. Ashanti Madrazo of Montalban Rizal was named 4th runner up. Niebres will compete at the Junior Model International 2020 set in Dubai.


Onin Mas and former Mrs. Tourism International 2017 Risa Caldoza hosted the inaugural kids’ pageant. The pageant aims to empower the young generation to value education, fight against bullying and discrimination, presented and produced by Star Builder Production and Talent Management. Proceeds from the coronation will go to the “Isang Lapis at Papel, Isang Pangarap” Project Foundation which helps less fortunate kids towards building their dreams to reality and create common goals to the young generation.
