During last night’s coronation of Mutya ng Pilipinas 2013 at the NBC Tent in Taguig, five ladies emerged victorious with two of them getting crowned for anticipated international pageant representations.
Koreen Medina from Quezon City – a strong favorite from the start – bagged the Mutya ng Pilipinas Asia Pacific International crown, with Cebuana Angeli Dione Gomez clinching the Mutya ng Pilipinas Tourism International title. Asdis Liza Karlsdottir from Iceland was named Mutya ng Pilipinas-Overseas Communities. 1st Runner-Up honors went to Arizona’s Maureen Montagne with Kristian Aubrey Nolasco of Caloocan rounding up the Top 5 as 2nd Runner-Up.
As of now, Koreen’s pageant assignment is still unspecified (although it naturally should be Miss Intercontinental), but Angeli will definitely have her hands full in Kuala Lumpur with the reigning winner of Miss Tourism International being her fellow Cebuana (and sur-namesake) Rizzini Alexis Gomez.

Congratulations to all the winners! 
P.S. My suggestion to the organizers is to send Asdis Liza Karlsdottir to Miss Intercontinental instead. I bet she will do well in that competition.
