Celeste Cortesi ‘Iniwan’ Issue: MUPH Creative Director Jonas Gaffud Speaks

Jonas Gaffud was asked about the issue that they left Celeste Cortesi

Rumors surfaced that the officials and staff of the Miss Universe Philippines organization left Celeste Cortesi after she failed to enter the Top 16 and here is what MUPH Creative Director Jonas Gaffud said about this.

Celeste garnered support from Pinoy pageant fans even after her Miss Universe 2022 ended. She received messages of support and sympathy, as well as encouragement. However, it was alleged that the MUPH organization did not support her until the end.

Videos of Celeste crying after the MU competition circulated. She was outside the venue without the MUPH org officials. This somehow prompted speculation that she was left alone.

In line with this issue, Jonas Gaffud made a clarification, based on the article in PEP. The Creative and events director of MUPH said that he immediately messaged Celeste Cortesi after the announcement of semifinalists.

“She asked if she could spend time with her Mom and Mathew after the pageant. Because the case usually is, they have to be in the Miss Universe bus to go back to their hotel. But Celeste decided to be with Mathew, her friend Benj and Mom,” Jonas explained.

He added that since Celeste’s mom was leaving in the morning, he informed Mathew of the plan and he will meet them afterward as he said that it was important for the Pinay beauty queen to spend time with her family.

After that, Jonas said that he went back to his hotel, and the following day, they met and talked about everything.

“Aside from what happened, I was also dealing with logistics: rebooking of flights, checking on her luggages, transportation and all. I also had to meet up with people from different countries/organizations,” the MUPH Creative and Events director added.

Miss Universe Philippines 2014 MJ Lastimoso also proved that she did not leave Celeste Cortesi after the announcement of the Top 16.
