-


Mutya Pilipinas Tourism International 2019 Tyra Rae Goldman of Nevada will no longer represent the Philippines in the Miss Tourism International 2019 pageant after she was rejected by foreign organizers for having dual citizenship.

This was confirmed by Mutya President Cory Quirino in a telephone conversation on Sept. 27.

"They want a natural-born Filipina. The organizers of Miss Tourism International pageant have already apologized to us for the late notice," said Quirino.


Mutya Pilipinas first runner-up Cyrille Payumo of Pampanga will replace Goldman in the Malaysia-based pageant in November.

The full statement:

"Mutya Pilipinas recently announced that due to the new policy of the Miss Tourism International Pageant in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and in compliance with their latest rule, being “naturally-born in the country the candidate represents and no-dual citizenship”, Miss Cyrille Payumo, First Runner Up will replace Miss Tyra Goldman in the November 2019 Competition;

“We respect the rules of the Organization and assure them of our 100% compliance“ said Cory Quirino, President of Mutya Pilipinas after her telephone conversation with  Tan Sri Datuk Danny Ooi, President of the Miss Tourism International Pageant;

“However, so as not to deprive Ms. Goldman of her opportunity to compete, we are presently studying possible options for her in other respectable international competitions. She is a gem of a beauty queen who can proudly and ably represent the Philippines”, stressed Quirino." - ROBERT REQUINTINA
