Herlene Budol’s “wasted potential” and the reasons behind her unhappy expression during her crowning as Miss Philippines Tourism at the Miss Grand Philippines 2023 pageant were discussed by the media this week. Budol, a former “That’s Entertainment” star, responded to a Facebook post questioning her expression with a humorous comment.
She also revealed that she will not be competing in the upcoming Miss Tourism World pageant. The Miss Grand Philippines pageant recently announced its franchise certificates for various international pageants, including Miss Tourism World. Despite assumptions that Budol would represent the Philippines in the competition, it appears that the Hiyas ng Pilipinas pageant, which acquired the national organization that holds the license for Miss Tourism World, will be sending a different delegate.
In other news, former teen star Ricky Rivero passed away at the age of 51. Rivero’s death was confirmed by his partner on Facebook. The cause of death has not been disclosed. Lastly, actress Sunshine Cruz opened up about her breakup with ex-boyfriend Macky Mathay. Cruz explained that she ended the relationship after realizing that it wasn’t progressing. She emphasized that Mathay is a good guy but added that at this point in her life, she is looking for a relationship that can grow and evolve. Cruz also clarified that she does not intend to remarry and is only seeking a life partner.
