Panama has declined to stage the 2013
Miss Universe contest, two months after it was announced that the
project is almost a done-deal between the government and the pageant
organizers.
Reports also said the Binibining
Pilipinas Charities, Inc. (BPCI) and ABS-CBN, new home of the BPCI, may
soon bid for the staging of the world’s most prestigious beauty pageant
in the Philippines.
If the Philippines wins the bid,
it would be the third time for the Miss Universe pageant to be held in
the country. It was first held in the country in 1974 when Miss Spain
Amparo Munoz won the title. This was followed in 1994 when Miss India
Sushmita Sen was crowned.
2011 Miss Universe 3rd runner up
Shamcey Supsup earlier said she would love the Miss Universe pageant to
be staged in the country “to show to the world what the Philippines can
offer.’’
Panama said the $12 million budget for
the holding of the beauty pageant would be too much, adding that they
could not afford to stage the contest at this point, according to the
website Global Beauties as reported in the Panama newspaper Mi Diario.
Salo Shamah, head of Panama’s
Tourism Administration, confirmed that the Miss Universe Organization
and the national government had met on several occasions to discuss the
project.
But last week, Panama President
Ricardo Martinelli decided that they could not afford the staging of the
beauty pageant.
“We don’t even have $12 million
for our annual advertising project,’’ Shamah said. “Even if private
companies were able to fund half the money that is needed, it is still a
big hit to our government budget.’’
Authorities also said that the
few minutes of telecast of the country’s top destinations are not worth
it because most of the viewers are from Asia “who have no direct flights
to our country.’’
Panama recently made a good
standing in the 2011 Miss Universe beauty pageant in Sao Paulo, Brazil
when its contestant Sheldry Saez placed among the Top 10 semifinalists
and won the Best National Costume award. Panama staged the Miss Universe
beauty pageant twice – in 1986 and 2003.
