Mutya Ng Pilipinas recently appointed Ms. Cyrille Payumo to represent the Philippines in the forthcoming World Top Model Competition on December 2, 2022 at the Magyar Nemzeti Museum in Budapest, Hungary.
Payumo, after her strong win in Malaysia as Miss Tourism International 2019 is set on embarking her modeling career by joining this reputable event.
World Top Model is a prestigious competition organized by Mr. Fiore Tondi with Major Models one of the leading modelling agencies in Europe. It attracts close to 50 aspiring models worldwide. Top placers in this modelling competition are eventually recruited by some of the most prestigious establishments in the fashion industry.
Cory Quirino, President of Mutya ng Pilipinas stated “we are confident about sending ms. Payumo to this international event. In our organization we act as bridges for our queens in the pursuit and fulfillment of their personal career choices.”

If I missed anyone worth including/following, please reply in the comment section below. I’m just too happy that international pageantry has slowly stepped out of its lockdown shell. Hopefully, it will be so much better in 2022, omicron variant notwithstanding.
It all started from humble beginnings. Back in the mid-90s, the group fielded a sole candidate – Sonia Santiago – for Bb. Pilipinas 1996. In between, more beautiful Filipinas started undergoing training and polish for bigger beauty competitions. And in the process, a good number of the ladies started winning national titles left and right, until their successes were justly rewarded when Precious Lara Quigaman was crowned Miss International 2005 – their very first claim to grand slam fame.
Below is a rundown of the KF alumni who went on to win their international pageants, either here or abroad:
I can remember during one of his past interviews (watch below) for Assignment Asia of the China Global Television Network (CGTN) how Rodgil called beauty aspirants – “beauty athletes” – because all the learnings are continuously practiced in their individual lives outside the confines of the camp itself. I could not think of a more appropriate term that could better that.
The Philippines is ranked 4th in terms of number of wins in Miss Universe with four (4), 2nd only in Miss International even with six (6) and a tie for 18th-37th places with so many other countries in Miss World with one (1) each. Outside the homegrown Miss Earth where Filipinas are comfortably leading the way with four (4) victories, it is in the Malaysia-based Miss Tourism International competition where we are lording it over with five (5) titleholders since it started only during the mid-1990s. The reigning titleholder herself is Mutya Pilipinas 2019 Cyrille Payumo who saved the country from a complete shutout in international wins from recognized pageants last year.
Mutya ng Pilipinas Tourism International 2017 Jannie Loudette Alipo-on waited for years to finally nail a national beauty pageant crown. And now that she finally did, and preparing for her competition in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for Miss Tourism International 2017, she is not about to let up in her dream of wearing the country’s sash and hopefully bring another honor for the Philippines by securing another victory in the competition that has largely been favorable to our representatives through the years.
Jannie was expecting her mission abroad to run the entire month of December till New Year’s Eve, as what MTI has been doing in the past. This year, though, the finals will be held earlier – December 6 to be exact. She took it as a good opportunity to spend the Holidays Season here instead of bringing just her closest family members to the Malaysian capital.
