This is why we enhanced, even more, all of our safety protocols given our current situation,' a statement read on Instagram .'We will announce the final date of the pageant as soon as we get the final approval from IATF for our enhanced plans for the finals.

She has since withdrawn from the contest.'It breaks my heart that I won't be able to formally compete in the Miss Universe Philippines 2021.
