Let’s see which national pageant Rheema will eventually join. With both Arnold Vegafria and Cory Quirino in the panel of judges, it won’t take a genius to guess where.

In an event that aims to celebrate the organization’s new vision of creating a better tomorrow where true beauty establishes the standard for an optimistic future, Mutya ng Pilipinas is finally returning after more than two full years of absence in the national pageantry scene.
Earlier today, a Press Conference was held inside CWC Interiors at the Ground Floor of Milestone in BGC.
Mutya ng Pilipinas Chairman Fred Yuson and President Cory Quirino presided over the event where they announced the Launch of Mutya ng Pilipinas 2022. If you will notice, the “ng” is back, signaling a return to its roots. A November, 2022 schedule has been set for this year’s Finals. Three titles will be handed out:
1) Mutya ng Pilipinas 2022 (the main title but with no pageant assignment yet since Miss Asia Pacific is still postponed this year)
2) Mutya ng Pilipinas Tourism International 2022 (appointed rep since the Malaysia-based pageant will have a September playdate)
3) Mutya ng Pilipinas Overseas Communities
Klyza Castro is now the longest-reigning Mutya ng Pilipinas titleholder
A surprise announcement was made by Mr. Yuson regarding the inaugural edition of Miss Mutya International in 2023 – a pageant that will endeavor to assemble the best and most beautiful of Filipinas with foreign lineage as well as international delegates coming from different parts of the world. This effort will be akin to the Miss Maja International which established the “Maja” brand for several decades. “Mutya” will be the first Filipino-named and branded pageant.
This year’s theme for Mutya ng Pilipinas will revolve around inclusivity and sustainability, to go hand-in-hand with the “Shine Hometown Girl” catch phrase started back in 2019.
#ToledoMed opens its 7th branch in Tuscany at McKinley Hills
Early last night, the 7th and newest branch of Toledo Medical Companies Inc. had its formal opening at the Ground Floor of The Tuscany at McKinley Hills. Occupying a prime location in this high-end stretch of commercial spaces in Taguig City, the popular Dr Toledo Librado Jr. effectively expanded his reach to clients in the south of Metro Manila, while maintaining the high level of service he has been known for these past number of years.
Adding glitter to the opening are the #ToledoAngels such as Mutya Pilipinas President Cory Quirino, Miss Universe Philippines 2019 Gazini Ganados, The Miss Globe 2021 Maureen Montagne, Miss Earth 2017 Karen Ibasco, Miss Philippines Earth 2021 Naelah Alshorbaji, upcoming national pageant returnees Diana Mackey and Karen Laurrie Mendoza with beautiful discovery Anna Valencia. Showbiz personalities Yasmien Kurdi, Royce Cabrera, Radio DJ Chris Tsuper and social media influencer Miss Everything were also in attendance.
It was such a chill event with all guests appreciating the newly-acquired machines of the company that have upped its expertise in beautifully transforming its clients and maintaining a reputation as the leader in less invasive aesthetic medicine, surgical treatments and ancillary services with happy results.
Check out the coverage photos for the branch opening.
Just when you thought that Mutya Pilipinas is no longer active in the national pageant scene, these new teasers signal their return this 2022.
Bigger and bolder.
Shine, Hometown Girl!
Toledo Medical Companies Inc. celebrated its 13th Anniversary last Dec 18, 2021 via an event billed as “The Grand Event” at the Shangri-la The Fort, Taguig City.
TOLEDO MEDICAL COMPANIES, INC., now popularly known as ToledoMed and what it is today, are the outcome of the hard work and perseverance of its founder, Dr. Librado N. Toledo, Jr. and his vision of transformative and timeless beauty in the Philippines.

Pleased to share with you the happy episode 6 of Pageantry Norms Season 3 with my guests Rachel Peters, Arnold Mercado and Ms Cory Quirino.
This afternoon on Episode 6 of Pageantry Norms Season 3, catch me and my three guests in a discussion that focuses on “Favorite Pageant Personalities”.
Miss Universe Philippines 2017 Rachel Peters, Miss World Philippines Organization General Manager Arnold Mercado and Mutya Pilipinas President Cory Quirino are three of the several individuals I would personally consider as favorites in this crazy world of pageantry.
Know why later.
The program starts at 4pm on The Philippine Pageantry and its YouTube channel.
PS. Raymond Villanueva of BPCI would have completed the quartet of guests but last-minute (originally unscheduled) technical rehearsals for his online show tonight got in the way.
A hard decision has been made.
Mutya Pilipinas cancels its 2020 pageant to ensure the health and safety of the community. The Board of Directors of Mutya ng Pilipinas Inc (MNPI) headed by Chairman Fred Yuson and President Cory Quirino will instead focus on humanitarian efforts in support of the frontliners and communities in need, particularly the street children.
Please read the entire official statement above.

Mutya Chairman Fred Yuson
This was a quotable quote during the FB live held earlier when Mutya President Cory Quirino asked “her boss” about the direction the pageant will be headed this 2020.
Mr. Yuson remains optimistic despite the pandemic crisis. Changes may be implemented because of the “new normal” and some of it may look “anti-social”, but he reasoned that it will all make sense eventually. After all, everything happens for a reason. And in keeping with the digital age, Mutya Pilipinas will still definitely be green-and-go.
“Hindi pa tayo laos (we are not obsolete), we have the right people and we will show them that we are still a cut above the rest…” added Mr Yuson.

In what was the first breakaway title from Bb. Pilipinas, the franchise of Miss World had a changing of guards after the 2010 edition (which left Bb. Pilipinas World 2010 Czarina Gatbonton with no actual successor to crown during Bb. Pilipinas 2011) where a dedicated national pageant was staged at the PICC for Miss World Philippines. It was a momentous inaugural edition under Cory Quirino which saw the winner getting a cool million pesos, a condominium unit from SMDC, a GMA7 management contract and the right to represent the country in London for Miss World 2011. Gwendoline Ruais was an unstoppable force in that batch. Aside from a statuesque height, she articulated herself well and possessed the X-factor that could be the winning formula in getting the blue crown. And she almost did after placing 1st Runner-Up to Ivian Sarcos of Venezuela. It won’t be for another two years before the country won its first Miss World crown, but that is topic for another entry during this throwback-filled home quarantine period.
