Two of the standouts – Iona Gibbs of Bataan and Katherine Topsnik of Bohol
During yesterday’s Final Screening at Citadines Bay City Manila, forty (40) Official Candidates were chosen to make up this year’s roster. These beauties will be formally introduced to media this coming Wednesday in the Press Presentation.
Among them are crossovers from other national pageants (like Megan Campbell, Ilyssa Mendoza, Zea Nestlé Pala, Liz Mabao, Angela Okol and Anjeanette Japor), celebrity/pageant look-alikes (like Adiah Dicdican who is an Andrea Brilliantes deadringer and Celyn Bautista who has a strong Leren Mae Bautista semblance), promising newbies like Shindell Atibula, Natalie Griffiths and Jesi Mae Cruz, and more.
Pageant President Cory Quirino is visibly excited with this new set of beauties. It took the panel a long time to trim down the list of aspirants.
Know all of them soon!

Whatever happened to its new name “Mutya Pilipinas”?
They decided to bring back the “ng”
(Good morning, Mr. Blogger. The Miss & Mister Beaute International is on! Any chance of a post on the identity of our queen? And, FOUR pageants are happening atm? Beaute in Vietnam, Felizarta’s also in Vietnam, Tourism International in Kucing, & Earth here. Why aren’t you stressing us out, po? Ms. Hannah, when is she departing?…)
Hannah will depart on November 30. As for Beaute, MIPH decided to just send a male entry.
Mr. Blogger, ‘yun po’ng former Mutya na napag-usapan natin dito sa blog na interesado’ng mag-MWP by ~2023, 🙂
Kasi wrong grammar daw hehehehe
JUSME SUPER PANGIT NG MGA CANDIDATES 😂
I am happy that finally after the 2-yr hiatus due to pandemic, MnP is resuming the search.
So, now they are launching Mutya ng Pilipinas International (tama ba ‘yun?), with the aim of celebrating Philippines culture. Parang Lat-Am based na ‘concurzo’ where our bets bone up on basic Spanish phrases & expressions to aid in navigating the landscape (isn’t this, ALSO, a pageant?), will their candidates need to imbibe “Mabuhay,… Mahal kita,… Ang bata’ng masigla, may g(h)ana”…?
🙂
But, what becomes of MAPI?
What else? The Malaysia-based MTI, kanila pa rin. Our rep is from Cebu, right? Come stai?
And the ‘top model’ titles? Invariably, somewhere along the Mediterranean. ❤
I believe the organizer’s ultimate & prized-title will be Mutya ng Pilipinas – Miss MUTYA INTERNATIONAL which will be an inaugural pageant come 2023.

My vote goes to Ms. Okol. I hope she bags one of the titles.
@Edible Flor, bubukol kung talagang naka ukol para kay Okol. Kumusta?
