The time required to secure these visas is insufficient, and we believe it would be unfair to proceed without all participants who have dedicated significant time and effort preparing for this prestigious event,&quot; the statement read. &quot;We understand the disappointment this may cause and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Our priority is to ensure that every contestant has the opportunity to compete on a level playing field, showcasing their hard work and dedication without facing unnecessary barriers.&quot;Organizers have yet to announce a new date and venue for Miss Charm 2024. The competition was originally scheduled from August 12 to 24 in the US. Kayla Jean Carter will represent the Philippines in the upcoming pageant. She was appointed by The Miss Philippines organization last July, following the withdrawal of Krishnah Gravidez, who is now the country&#x27;s delegate in Miss World. <div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/2024/7/7/kayla-jean-carter-named-miss-charm-philippines-2024-2023">Kayla Jean Carter named Miss Charm Philippines 2024</a></div>
