From Mutya Ng Pilipinas to Mutya Pilipinas Now.
MUTYA NG PILIPINAS – The local beauty pageant “Mutya Ng Pilipinas” will be now called “Mutya Pilipinas” and netizens could not help but react to this.
The local pageant “Mutya ng Pilipinas” is an annual beauty contest for aspiring queens. In its history, it already had five Miss Asia Pacific titles, four Miss Tourism International titles, three Miss Tourism Queen of the Year International titles, one Miss Tourism Cosmopolitan International, and one Beauty of the World title.
Currently, Cory Quirino is the new President of Mutya Ng Pilipinas. She is the former national director of Miss World Philippines from 2011 to 2016 but resigned after as she felt bad when Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray lost in Miss World last December 2016.
Now, a major change was made to the longest-running local pageant in the country. In an Instagram post, organization stated, “This, because phonetically speaking, its name flows more smoothly as pronounced. Symbolizing the arrival of a refreshed vision for the 51-year-old pageant, the name Mutya Pilipinas sets its sights towards more exciting alliances in the years to come.”
Furthermore, “Its shortened name intends to invoke the now in touch with all the aspects of being relevant and engaged with the times of present-day Philippines.”
Here are some of the reactions of the netizens to this according to an entertainment website:
It doesn’t make sense because when you translate it, it just means “‘Muse Philippines.” Ang awkward pag walang ng. Kung ano anong paandar na lang para marevive ang pageant na yan.
Siguro they’re thinking na it would translate as ‘Philippine Muse’ when they take out ng.
It doesnt make sense
Barok! Sanay nako sa may ‘ng’
