Liana Rose Barrido, the last of three Mutya ng Pilipinas queens to compete in succession, made sure to save the best for last and end the year on top by
winning the Miss International Tourism 2024/25 title during the world final gala show held at the Sunway Resort Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Barrido emerged victorious over 39 candidates from around the world and became the sixth Filipina to wear the MIT crown since 2000.Barrido, wearing an elegant blue Morpho Louis Pangilinan evening gown, earned the judges’ nods with a final round Q&A interview answer to the question: How would you define success and what would motivate you to achieve it?
“As someone who finds her purpose through her weakness, I would define success as overcoming limitations. I was a silent girl before, but this limitation made me an empowered woman with a purpose,” the 26-year-old Barrido said. Cory Quirino, president of Mutya ng Pilipinas Organization, wrote on Instagram: “Philippines, we made it! Our very own Mutya Queen Liana Barrido has been crowned Miss Tourism International 2024! Her elegance, charm, and advocacy have brought pride to the nation, showcasing the beauty and values of the Filipino people on the global stage.”
Before becoming Mutya ng Pilipinas Tourism International 2024, Barrido was Miss Batangas-World 2023 and Bb. Lungsod ng Batangas 2017.
