Cory tells millennials: 'Think before you post'

-


Mutya President Cory Quirino has one piece of advice to millennials joining pageants: think before you post.

"Be very careful. What you do now, especially for the millennials joining other pageants, what you do today, what you post today, is going to haunt you tomorrow," said Quirino when asked about girls who dream of joining pageants, during a press send-off for Cyrille Payumo at CWC Interiors, Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City.

Payumo will represent the Philippines at the Miss Tourism International 2019 pageant in Malaysia on Nov. 8. She left Oct. 23 for the competition.

"There are times you are faced with the challenge of reaching your dreams, because of what you did in the past, many pageant organizers, if not most, can be lenient and understanding about those things. But there are pageant organizers that are very strict. And then they have to prepare you for the international competition whose standards are also very strict," said Quirino said.

"So before joining pageants, think twice and think hard about the past and what you did in the past. They will haunt you," she added.

"And then you are now in the pageant. You have to prioritize your being feminine. Always be a lady. And work when grace is under pressure. This is what makes a beauty queen," Quirino said.


Payumo, who hails from Pampanga, was not the original choice for the international competition. She placed 1st runner-up in the Mutya Pilipinas pageant held last Aug. 8, 2019.

Payumo replaced Tyra Goldman who was originally crowned Mutya Pilipinas-Miss Tourism International.

"However, in compliance with the new rules of Miss Tourism International requiring Philippine born contestants, a decision was reached by the Mutya Pilipinas management to send Payumo instead," Quirino said.

Quirino said that Goldman will represent the Philippines in another competition in 2020.

She also encouraged Filipino pageant fans around the world to support Payumo by voting with the use of Star Phone app ad dial *1313. - 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

Megastar Sharon Cuneta has complained about the construction of her neighbor's condominium unit, saying that it brought stress to her family. "Construction in my upstairs neighbor’s condo is driving us nuts! It’s been about a year na," said Cuneta on Facebook. 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
