'Mutya' president Hemilyn Escudero-Tamayo resigns

-


Hemilyn Escudero-Tamayo announced last Jan. 4 that she has resigned as president of the Mutya ng Pilipinas beauty pageant, one of the most enduring and prestigious national beauty contests in the country.

In a statement sent to media friends, Hemilyn said: "Maraming maraming salamat po sa lahat ng tulong at pagmamahal na binigay nyo sa Mutya Ng Pilipinas at sa akin especially during our 50th anniversary celebration;

"It is with a heavy heart though that I have recently tendered my resignation as President. Sana po ay manatili ang malalim nating pagkakaibigan. Salamat sa pag turing ninyong kapamilya sa akin. Salamat po ulit and God Bless," she said. Hemilyn did not give any reason for her resignation.

On July 20, 2017, Hemilyn was appointed as the newest president of the Mutya ng PIlipinas beauty contest. She replaced Jacqueline Tan, who is now the president of the Miss Asia-Pacific International contest. Tan held the "Mutya" post for five year.

Sources said that the vacant position for presidency has been offered to three popular female personalities - Cory Quirino, former Miss World Philippines franchisee; Mag's Boutique founder Mags Que; and Jacqueline Tan. But all of them reportedly turned down the offer.

The Mutya ng Pilipinas beauty pageant is the closest rival of Bb. Pilipinas contest in terms of longevity and prestige. During Hemilyn's term, Muslim teacher-turned-beauty queen Sharifa Akeel won the Miss Asia Pacific International last Oct. 5, 2018.

Hemilyn is the daughter of former Casiguran, Sorsogon City Mayor Dr. Oscar Escudero. She is married to Philippine Air Force Major Richard Antonio Tamayo, whose family owns the University of Perpetual Help DALTA Medical Center.

She took up financial management in Texas, USA and is a product of Charlston School of Protocol and Etiquette and Fashion Image Institute in San Francisco. She is the founder of Total Image, Inc., an image consultant agency.

Hemilyn, relative of Senator Chiz Escudero, is a popular figure in the pageant industry long before she got married. In 2014, she represented the Philippines at the Mrs. Universe pageant held in Malaysia. Prior to this, she competed in several pageants abroad, appeared on print and television commercials and has done TV hosting. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding. It’s just that we have been told over and over for about a year already that it would take “just one more month or two na la
