"Miss Planet" Delegates Promote Cambodia
Miss Planet International Delegates Pledge to Promote Cambodia’s Tourism
AKP Phnom Penh, January 27, 2023 --
Miss Universe International delegates from over 20 countries said that they are proud to visit Cambodia, especially Siem Reap, home to the famous Angkor temples, and pledged to use their own social media networks to promote Cambodia's tourism.
They made the remarks yesterday during their visit to Siem Reap province to attend the Rice Festival, scheduled from Jan. 27 to 29 at Preah Reach Damnak Garden along its riverside.
Miss Universe International delegates shared the same comments that Cambodia is a place where they feel warm, the people are friendly, and Cambodia, particularly Siem Reap, is really beautiful.
According to Mr. Philip Kao, President of Siem Reap Tourism Club Association, the presence of Miss Universe International delegates in Siem Reap is very important to contribute to the promotion of the cultural province’s potential tourist destinations.
At the same time, he added, their presence will also help promote the potential of the rice sector, considered as the “White Gold” of Cambodia.

Philippines’ Maria Luisa Varela wins in controversial Miss Planet International pageant

MANILA, Philippines — Filipino entrepreneur Maria Luisa Varela topped the 2023 Miss Planet International pageant in Cambodia on Jan. 29, capturing the crown in the competition that 2022 Binibining Pilipinas first runner-up Herlene Nicole Budol was supposed to participate in.
Varela bested 13 other international contenders to inherit the title from Monique Best from South Africa in ceremonies staged at the Koh Pich Theater in the kingdom’s capital in Phnom Penh.
The international competition caused quite a stir late last year when multiple delegates, including Budol, withdrew their participation. They had already arrived in the African nation’s capital of Kampala, and had already appeared in a few preliminary activities, when a looming cancellation put the contest on hold.
The pageant originally scheduled a Nov. 19 coronation night, but tensions in Uganda caused by an Ebola outbreak prompted local organizers to postpone the competition Budol was not even supposed to join in the first place.
When she finished first runner-up in the national pageant, no international competition was assigned to her by the organization. But her manager Wilbert Tolentino said he sought the approval of the Bb. Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BPCI) for him to send his ward to a global contest. He said the organization gave in to his request.
He found the Miss Planet International whose national franchise was held by Shandy Montecarlo. They agreed to send Budol and eventually shared national directorship for the global tilt.
But now the manager is up in arms, threatening the Miss Planet International organization with legal action. The organizers announced in a Facebook post on Dec. 20 that the contest will resume in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, this January. Tolentino said he would not send Budol anymore.
