BUSINESSMAN and former politician Chavit Singson
This significant move comes at a time when the organization is caught in a whirlwind of controversy, drawing both public scrutiny and media attention.
During a press conference at his mansion in Quezon City on Dec. 22, Chavit announced that he and his daughter, Richelle, will meet with former MUO officials Paula Shugart and Shawn McClain in January 2026 to discuss the possible acquisition of the prestigious pageant.
Just to let you know, the MUO is not for sale. However, Chavit stated he would consider buying the MUO to prevent its collapse after the recent controversy. At present, the MUO is jointly owned by Thailand's JKN Global Group and Mexico's Legacy Holding Group. Mexican businessman Raul Rocha is the president of the MUO.
