## Post-Pageant Notes

* Mutya ng Pilipinas International (Intercontinental), Jane Bañares was unable to compete at Miss Intercontinental 2009. In replacement of Jane Bañares, last year's Mutya ng Pilipinas International, Jonavi Raisa Quiray had the opportunity of competing at Miss Tourism International 2009 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia but was unplaced
* Mutya ng Pilipinas Tourism, Jacqueline Schubert replaced Jane Bañares and competed at Miss Intercontinental 2009 in Minsk, Belarus but was unplaced, Miss Schubert was supposed to compete at Miss Tourism International in Malaysia but the organizers switched her with Miss Quiray since she grew up in Europe and is more familiar with the culture
* Mutya #1, Athena Mae Imperial went on to win Miss Philippines Earth 2011 and eventually Miss Earth 2011 Water/2nd runner-up held in MQuezon City, Philippines
