The Philippines will not host this year's installment of the Miss Universe pageant, Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat said Friday.
"Hindi muna (Not) this year," Romulo-Puyat told DZMM.
She cited budget constraints as a reason not to host the pageant, saying the tourism department still needs to address other concerns.
"We'll focus muna on other things. Anyway, kaka-Miss Universe lang naman so baka saka na lang," she said.
"Marami muna tayo kailangan ayusin," she added.
(We recently hosted Miss Universe so maybe some other time. We still need to fix a lot of things.)
Manila last hosted the international beauty pageant in January 2017 when French beauty queen Iris Mittenaere was crowned as the successor of Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach.
The Miss Universe pageants were also held in the Philippines in 1974 and 1994.
Catriona Gray, a former Miss World top 5 finisher, will represent the Philippines in the 67th Miss Universe.
Tama lang naman. Halos lahat ng pera napunta dyan sa Miss U last yr wala naman ROI
ReplyDeleteThank Heavens : )
ReplyDeleteAy anong masasabi ni Kat baby nya ang Miss U
ReplyDeleteNagbabaga ang kanyang tenga at umuusok ang butas ng ilong
DeleteDapat magresign na siya. Inutos na ng bagong DOT sec ang resignation ng lahat ng usec.
Deletemagresign na lang sia at puro sila gastos, pero ung strategy nila napaka 3rd world
DeleteGood. Hanap nalang sila ng ibang venue. Palasak na kasi noh
ReplyDeleteSALAMAT NAMAN.
ReplyDeletehay salamat naman at wag na nga mag focus sa pag-host niyan!
ReplyDeleteMabuti naman. Go Cat bring the torch not the crown hahaha
ReplyDeleteBaka Vegas ang bagsak niyan.
ReplyDeleteGood! That money can be put towards other things like cleaning up the slums and rivers there. Pinas is being lambasted in nat geo IG cuz of all those pics that were posted about Pasig River. Hopefully, instead of focusing on pageants, spend that money on things that are way more dire and important so hinde nakakahiya to tourists.
ReplyDeleteKahit ilaan pa ang lahat ng billions in cleaning up kung wala pa ring disiplina ang mga pinoy, balewala pa rin!
DeleteAgree!
Deletewell, kelangan talaga ng metro manila cleanup at dapat hindi lang boracay ang linisin. pero di naman yata tourism budget ang paglilinis.
DeleteMabuti nman para mabawasan pagiging papansin ni Pia.
ReplyDeleteDito naman magaling ang gobyerno ngaun. Entertainment.
ReplyDeleteHINDI NA NGA DIBA???
Deletemabuti naman at we will be spared seeing on tv and on videos and pic 10 candidates sa half ng frame and then Kat De Castro sa other half ng frame
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHA ang harsh
