This Friday, May 27, the final of Miss Peru 2022 will be held, where eight candidates will give their best to be the successor of Yely Rivera, who, under the supervision of Jessica Newton, will represent us in Miss Universe. But let’s remember that the franchise was, until a few years ago, in the hands of Ernesto ‘Tito’ Paz.
The businessman was harshly criticized after the complaints of contestants from Ica and Apurímac, who stated that they were asked to pay large sums of money to be selected among the finalists. The current director of the Miss Peru organization took over her position in 2015.
What happened to ‘Tito’ Paz?
‘Tito’ Paz owns the franchise of Miss World Peru, Miss Earth Peru, Señora Perú and Mister World Perú. After stepping aside from Miss Peru Universe, he dedicated himself to organizing major contests while still representing the country. Currently, he is very active on his social networks and shares information about Miss Peru Mundo, even though he is no longer in charge.
For the 2021 contest, he summoned Diego Mayor, organizer of Teen Queen Peru. The also businessman praised ‘Tito’ for his outstanding achievements in the contests, such as the coronation of Maju Mantilla.
“I feel honored that ‘Tito’ has thought of me to look for the new Miss Earth Peru. It is a great responsibility that I assume because after 15 years we return to work together, after he was responsible for the triumph of Maju Mantilla and I, of Debora Sulca, who took sixth place in Miss Universe 2005. The winning team of both queens will come together again and we trust that the queen who is elected will leave the name of our country high, “said the president of the adolescent pageant.

At the end of 2014, after the resignation of ‘Tito’ Paz, she returned to the Miss Peru organization. Newton has starred in several contests and one of the most acclaimed was during the 2017 catwalk, in which violence against women and femicides in the country were denounced. The candidates revealed the figures of violence against women in Peru that include physical and psychological violence, sexual abuse, harassment, sexual exploitation and psychological aggression.
