Another beauty queen has gone missing.
Geneva Sarita Lopez, among contenders of this year's Mutya ng Pilipinas - Pampanga pageant, was reported missing by her family.
She is said to have disappeared on June 21 along with her Israeli boyfriend.
Pageant organizers confirmed this, issuing a notice via social media.
“It is with serious concern that we announce the disappearance of Ms. Geneva Sarita Lopez, one of the official candidates for this year’s Mutya ng Pilipinas Pampanga 2024 representing Sto. Tomas, Pampanga, who has been reported missing since June 21,” it stated.
“We would like to clarify that we had no official schedule of activities during the said date as it was allotted for the candidates’ rest,” it added.
“Let’s continue to hope and pray for her safety as well as her Israeli boyfriend...”
According to police, Lopez and her boyfriend went to Capas, Tarlac, to meet with a certain individual regarding a property.
None too soon, police received information about a burning vehicle in the area.
Personal documents bearing Lopez’s name were later discovered in the car.
Investigation is still ongoing.

She is yet to be found.
