Miss Charm Philippines 2024 Krishnah Gravidez has announced that she is officially pulling out of the international competition in Vietnam.
Krishnah, who earned the title last year after finishing in the Top 3 of the 2023 Miss Universe Philippines pageant, started her message on her social media pages thanking her fans and core team. She then announced her withdrawal from the said pageant.
“To the pageant fans, Team Strawberries, my Vietnamese supporters, and my core team, who watched my journey and waited, I thank you for holding on,” she wrote on Sunday evening. “After much consideration and reflection, I regret to inform you that I have decided to withdraw from the Miss Charm International competition.”
She thanked the Miss Universe Philippines and Miss Charm Philippines organizations for the “incredible opportunities” and expressed her gratitude for the “experiences and friendships” she has gained.
Krishnah also thanked Miss Universe Philippines President Jonas Gaffud for all his support.
“I want to thank Mama J especially, who has been one of the best mentors and gave his valuable support for the decisions I needed to make,” she wrote.
She continued: “Thank you once again for the incredible journey with Miss Universe Philippines and Miss Charm Philippines. I will always cherish the memories and lessons learned during my time of reign.”
“As I embark on this new chapter of my life, I hope to have your continued support in all my future endeavors.”
A wave of support from her fellow beauty queens flooded the comments section, with messages of encouragement for Krishnah.
Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Dee wrote, “Always proud of you our queen!! See you soon.”
Fellow finalist and Miss Cosmo Philippines 2024 Ahtisa Manalo also said: “We wish you all the best! The future holds good things for you.”
Miss Supranational Philippines 2023 Pauline Amelinckx said she is “proud” of Krishnah and her “dedication to [her] journey,” promising that she will always be supporting her in her next endeavors.
Before this, Krishnah had already passed on her title last May 22, after Pampanga’s Cyrille Payumo was named Miss Charm Philippines during the Miss Universe Philippines coronation night.
At that time, the organizers said Cyrille would be competing in 2025 because Gravidez’s competition hadn’t been held yet.
