The Mutya ng Pilipinas pageant has made a new call for applicants, suggesting that a competition will finally take place in 2024, almost two years since last staging a contest in 2022.

“SAAN KA MUTYA?” the national pageant organization posted on social media to invite ladies to its 56th anniversary edition. “A new dawn awaits as you represent your #Hometown at the Mutya ng Pilipinas 2024 Pageant,” it added.

This year’s competition will be the 52nd edition of the second-longest-running national pageant in the country. The 51st edition was held in December 2022, mounted after a two-year pandemic pause.

In June last year, the Mutya ng Pilipinas pageant already made a call for applicants for a supposed 2023 edition. Cory Quirino, the organization’s president, told INQUIRER.net back then that the coronation night was scheduled in December that year. But no competition took place.

In a recent online interview, she said this year’s winners will be sent to the Miss Intercontinental and Miss Tourism International pageants, and the World Top Model contest. The Mutya ng Pilipinas Overseas Communities crown will still be at stake for participants based in other countries, while the delegate to the Miss Chinese World pageant will be appointed.
