MWP has no date/venue yet

 Will the final show be back in the Metro?

By Earl D.C. Bracamonte

After several postponements due to the many imposed restrictions and health protocols, the Miss World-Philippines organization, after setting a Sept 19 final show date and venue, had to cancel the same after the city government of Olongapo aired its side in not giving in to the organization's proposal.

In a news update by local network CLTV 36, through a report by Reiniel Pawid, Olongapo City mayor Lenj Paulino said, in Tagalog, that some sections of the convention center are not in sync, or do not conform, with the stage design of the Miss World-Philippines show. Not to mention, he continued, the rising cases of Covid-19 in the city of Olongapo.

MWP has yet to issue a new advisory as to the date and venue of its ever-changing final show status.

Pageant fans have observed how the show has taken too long to culminate because Dindi Pajares and John Adajar who both competed in Poland for their respective Supra titles, have already returned to Manila and have completed their quarantine requirements for traveling. They even joked that since Dindi is, technically, a candidate of the Miss World-Philippines 2021 pageant despite her Supra appointment, that she could still rejoin the pageant and win for herself a new title. If only!

Even if the final show happens anytime this month, with the entire metro under the MECQ protocol, the winner has barely two months to prepare for the international finals in Puerto Rico. After Dindi's appointment to the Supra crown, I don't think appointment of winners to the other MWP crowns would sit well with the sponsors and the candidates themselves - all of whom prepared for a physical pageant - and who all finished the several challenges in the last two months.

Stay tuned for upcoming updates to the MWP coronation night.
